Regulations concerning destination alternate aerodrome Requests made during the flight to change the destination aerodrome to Frankfurt Airport (EDDF / FRA), Munich Airport (EDDM / MUC) or Berlin airports (EDDB/SXF, EDDI/THF and EDDT/TXL) airports cannot be approved during specific given periods. Diversions to these airports will only be permitted in declared emergencies. Air Traffic Flow Measures Increasing traffic FL 335+ may result in level capping (flight level restrictions) especially related to Rhine Radar - Frankfurt sector No World Cup related enroute flow measures are planned Arrival regulations likely for Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), Munich Airport (EDDM) and the Berlin Airports (EDDT/EDDI/EDDB) at certain days Daily briefings Daily briefings are organised to exchange the latest status of the air traffic situation between the partners involved. In that way, adapting appropriate measures can be adapted following the real-time traffic demand. 11.00 hrs UTC: - Telephone conference between: - Branches of business unit Control Centre - Affected branches of business unit TWR - CFMU / NMC - German Meteorological Service (DWD) - National Air Policing Cell 14.00 hrs UTC: CFMU NMC e-conference between NMCs, FMPs and aircraft operators. ATFCM measures will be applied as necessary via Eurocontrol CFMU and prenotified (confirmation of daily plan at 1400 UTC) via daily Network Management Cell (NMC) E-conference and published in network news (AIM – Air Traffic Flow Management Information Message) and ANM (ATFM notification message).
Some views from the operational specialists dealing with Special Events in CFMU/OPSD Keith Crawford (ATFCM Expert – Operations Support) and Philippe Lenne (Flight Planning & Operations Specialist) were closely involved with the planning, coordination and follow-up of the CFMU participation, together with the various teams on duty. Thanks to a combined effort, the CFMU contributes to the optimisation of the ATFCM for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany. Keith, Philippe, it seems a quite challenging task to coordinate the CFMU measures for this important Special Event. Which message would you like to give to our ATFCM partners? What can we learn in order to further develop the most efficient measures to assure safety, capacity and punctuality? The very essential point is close collaboration. Establishing in-depth communication between the partners and sharing of information is essential for the success of the handling of this increase in air traffic demand. It is like a kind of family. There is no clear defined process and for each event an efficient way forward needs to be elaborated according to the specificities of the event. Also awareness to other’s situations with an ability to adapt as well as a strong availability are key elements in these relationships. Following our experience in the field, after so many events we have dealt with, it is important to start early enough with the preparations, having a working model with prior preparatory meetings, and elaboration of a timely documentation. With feet on the ground and with well established professional contacts. From our side, we experience that often we have to work as a facilitator of communication and to bring in the neighbours. We had FMP meetings in March, the Summer Briefing for AOs & FMPs in April, the preparatory meeting in Langen in the month of May with all German and adjacent FMPs involved. Now we have the four special e-conferences linked with the key moments during the World Cup and of course the daily NMC briefings. In the end all effort contributes to the success. Both Philippe and I are working in a complementary way, on ATFCM and on Flight Planning. We will reinforce this for the future in order to cover the various issues behind each event.
