2006 FIFA World Cup Germany - CFMU - Eurocontrol

Furthermore, there may be certain restrictions concerning the usability of individual
airports. But anyhow, pilots remain advised to obtain a detailed pre-flight briefing
prior to every flight during the World Cup as further restrictions may be made at
short notice.
Flights under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
IFR flights to coordinated airports (as already indicated above) must be assigned an
airport slot. Furthermore, during certain published time periods, the airports of
Frankfurt and Munich will not be available as alternates for IFR flights.
CFMU concentrates on some specific measures in
close contact with DFS
CFMU/OPSD strongly involved
The Operational Division of the CFMU (OPSD), responsible for the real time service
provision in the Initial Flight Planning Service (IFPS) and the Enhanced Tactical
Flow Management Service (ETFMS), will be highly involved. Specifically the
operational support, flow management and network management teams.
The centralisation and rationalisation of flight plan reception, the verification
(remark: not checking the airport slots as this is done by DFS) and distribution of
flight plans from aircraft operators to all relevant players and the provision of traffic
demand data for the Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management process will have to
take the serious traffic increase into account.
According to the area (traffic from Northern or Southern Europe), the provision of
this service is shared between two sites, Haren (Belgium) and Brétigny (France).
For real-time measures, ETFMS will play a role in order to optimise the ATM
network capacity and to act as a facilitator when the network faces crisis situations.
Each of these 24/7 services is delivered by the five operational teams for the day to
day real time service provision.
The DFS has seconded 1 FMP (Flow Management Position) employee to the CFMU
who will assist in the ETFMS activities. The responsibility of this secondment will be
shared with 3 individuals.
