“...On both a professional and personal level, I would like to thank you for yourprofessionalism, your dedication to the CDM process and your hard workand effort in accomplishing this important mission…”Mark Libby, ATCSCC, FAA
Caroline Schmeits- Senior Airports & CDM Expert Aviation“... It was a great pleasure working with you in Geneva. Over the years wevalued your expertise in guiding Geneva Airport to implement Airport CDMin a mature way. The criteria for Airport CDM were a challenge to us,and with your help we are now ready to be soon one of Europe’snext CDM airports. ” Francois Duret - Head of projects & planningOperations

Introduction to A-CDM
Where did the CDM story begin & Why?
USA Enroute & only one ANSPEurope
Airports were the bottleneckLimited infrastructure & capacity growthMany European ANSP, Airspace Users & Airport PartnersDifferent procedures & technology shortfall
Airport CDM is growingUSA adopting European CDMAsia- Pacific & Middle East followingSouth America & Africa showing interest
Global CDM only possible in a harmonised wayEUROCONTROL, IATA, ICAO and ACI areensuring this standardisation
What ARE the inefficiencies today?
No optimal use of Airport infrastructureNot using all available dataBeing reactive rather than pro-activeKeeping our operations to ourselvesWe have a blaming culture today
Possible Causes?Sitting on InformationLack of having the full pictureBuffering of planningLack of procedures amongst partnersDifferent Definitions
The symptoms…• No single partner has the complete picture• Information is passed too late for partners to respond – and has not the same meaning
Examples:• Airport & ATC don’t know when the aircraft are ready for departure (Ground handler knows)• Airlines don’t know when the aircraft can start up until getting clearance. (hard for ATC to plan in advance)• Airport & GHA only know the estimated arrival time when aircraft enter FIR boundary (Airline knows earlier)
Have you ever asked yourself
WHY?Have you ever considered the impact
on the operations of others?
The cure…What if we’re able to share and predict the aircraft readiness time?
• departure sequence can be planned earlier.• runway / taxiway congestion can be managed in a better way.• aircraft holding at stand instead of taxiway, save fuel.• pilot will know in advance the engine start-up time.
What if we’re able to get a better ETA much earlier than today?• airport will have more time to resolve gate conflict, better passenger experience• ground handlers will be able to deploy resources more efficiently
Airport CollaborativeDecision Making
(A-CDM)
Different Definitions…
ETA – Estimated Time of Arrival
• ATC ACC: arrival on TMA entry• ATC TWR: landing time on runway• GH / Airport / Airline: arrival on stand
ETD - Estimated Time of Departure
• ATC TWR: take off time• GH / Airport / Airline: pushback from stand
Inaccurate Information
EOBT (FPL) not updated by Airlines, despiteknowledge of delay
Taxi time calculated based onstandard taxi times
Flights have equal EOBT even thoughcapacity cannot accommodate Take offtime unpredictable due to large holding queue
A-CDM will improve:• resources usage• decision making• infrastructure usage• predictability• situational Awareness

Airport CDM is aboutPEOPLE, not just tools!
CULTURE CHANGE
Pick any card and concentrate on only that card…
Pick any card and concentrate on only that card…
Card Gone?
This power-game is a metaphor for our inabilityto see change – or the need to change.
You see; the six cards and the subsequentgroup of 5 cards never contained the same cards…
It is easier for companies to come up with new ideas than to let go of old ones"
Why are partners reluctant to change? Why share data, oar why not?• Confidentiality of data• Fear of the ‘unknown’?
no understanding of partners’ operations• If they are not involved in the changes?
The Challenge
How to convince to change
Who to convince to change
No Chargingfor DATA &share data

workingtogether
A-CDM is not aIT tool
ChangeManagement
The Airlines are critical in the A-CDM project, both in local implementation of A-CDM andin protecting their interests in multiple A-CDM destinations
• Pilots• Operations Control Centers (OCC)• Airline ground staff• Hub Control Centers
Operational requirements to protect theAirlines• Airlines are involved from the outset of any A-CDM initiative• Airlines delegate TOBT responsibility to GH if needed• A-CDM procedures are agreed by the partners i.e. Airlines e.g. some airports applying rules with no consultation• Airlines proactively share data with other partners
Airline involvement worldwide & support• In development To safe guard airline input in procedures• In implementation To safe-guard benefits as an outcome
In general to safe-guard global harmonization
Additional help from Organisations• To engage partners• To maintain commitment• To have a need for common procedures• To safe-guard interests of all involved
IATA & IACA effortsIn relation to Member Airlines
• Recommend Airlines to be A-CDM compliantRecommend a uniform way of executing A-CDMNeed to look at delay codes?
In relation to Ground Handler Organisation
• Need for harmonised SLA with Airlines
Next• What data is shared and how• New terminology• Best planned best served• What can it do for you in adverse conditions

At the right time To the right peopleThe right information
Clearly link arrivals & deprtures
A-CDM Platform Requirements
Avoid information overload
Create consistent look and feel
Avoid extra display
Tailor to each partner’s needs
Airport database: the best platform to store,process and share Airport CDM information

3. Variable Taxi TimesNeed for Airport partners ;
To have accurate IN BLOCK prediction to start turnround process
To have accurate TAKE OFF prediction for network ATFM capacity – demand balancing
Default Taxi Times are inaccurate
Variable Taxi Times provide…
…improved NetworkPlanning for the ATFM…better Stand & GatePlanning at the airport…increased Resourceefficiency…economical benefits…environmental gains
4. Pre-departure sequencing
• Reactive handling method of flights by ATC• Positive on FCFS
• Equality of all flights – all flights get same treatment• No disputes – everybody listens to same frequency
• Problem with FCFS• Unpredictable• Less balanced use of resources (e.g. runway)
Today:First Come First Serve!
Best Planned Best Served?Objectives;
• Improve prediction of push back order• Improve management of queuing aircraft at holding point
By using Principles;• Transparency• Replace “first come first served” principle
Target Effect of Sequencing
Benefits
Reduced:Queuing, fuel burn, emissions and noiseworkload for ATC
Improved:Predictability for AirlineStand & Gate managementGround Handler planningSafety
5. A-CDM in Adverse Conditions?Disruption to Adverse Condition =
• Major reduction in Capacity• Slow Recovery due to• Lack of information• Lack of communication• Lack of prioritization
Objectives:• Improve management of disruptions• Enhance Utilisation of Available Capacity• Improve Situational Awareness
A-CDM will:• Facilitate recovery after disruptions• Anticipate strong capacity reductions
How?• Crisis management with A-CDM procedures & tools• Full, same operational picture
6. Linking to the ATFM NetworkGap in ATOT predictability
• No Airline confirmation of EOBT• No Airline update of deviating from EOBT• No Airport information about changing conditions• No ATC sequence confirmation• No accurate ETOT prediction due to default taxi time
Conclusion• The Airports are black boxes for ATFM
Example: CDM Messages to ATFMDeparture Planning Information (DPI) Message
• Aims to send frequent airport status and flight TOBTTTOT and TSAT predictions• Integrated Airports receive priority in ATFM regulations
Development of Regional ATFMInitiatives in Asia Pacific
• Thailand’s capacity enhancement initiatives (with A-CDM) Interim Framework for Collaborative ATFM?• Sub-regional ATFM network operational trial 2013-2014 (with A-CDM) - Hong Kong China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam• Others?
A-CDM will both feed
ATFM with dynamic data
and receive network
updates

BENEFITS
Operational benefitsInbound;Better arrival times and sequence information = pro-active decision making
Turnaround;Improved ground handling processes = improved resource efficiency
Outbound;Improved punctuality = improved imageReduced taxi- & runway queuing = reduced fuel and improved safety
Improved communication and situational awareness
High level Benefits Airlines
Improved situationalawareness, moreaccurate fleetpredictions
Significant decrease infuel costs & enginerunning
Accurate Arrival &Departure times andplanning
Better use of resourcesand communication
High level benefits Ground Handling• Accurate Arrival & Departure times and planning.• Better use of resources and communication
Operational examples and benefits for Airlines and Ground Handlers• Late arrival = late departure?• Transfer pax?
Earlier and different decision making based on TOBT & TSAT mechanism
• Visibility of towing aircraft?
Ground radar display and TOBT for towings
• Daily programme of flight operations and turn-round times on schedule – enhanced punctuality• Possible schedule disruptions predicted early, thus managed efficiently• Preferences and priorities taken into account• Less equipment has to be moved and less often (less fuel and maintenance)
Benefits Airports• Accurate Arrival & Departure times and planning = operational efficiency• Better use of resources• Airport image on punctuality• Airport revenue (more customers?)
Benefits passengers• reduced delays and missed connections• better reliability on flights meaning improved customer satisfaction
Benefits environment
• less noise & emissions (NoX, CO2)
ATC benefits• Reduced / Improved• workload with predictability of traffic• Improved planning• RWY waiting time• taxi times

Lessons learned in implementation
Lessons Learned from other Airports?• Clear project driver• Establish MoU from outset• Dedicated Project Manager• Lack of PMP with tasks, accountability and timeframes• Project overlapping• Poor Communication• A-CDM cherry picking• Working Groups too large or not consistent• participation
• Steering Groups slow in resolving issues & politics• Too many ‘talkers 'and lack of ‘doer’s’• Platform developed around CDM Procedures• Involving ALL and maintaining Commitment of all partners• Harmonised, standardised Global A-CDM
