IFATCA identified the need for a policy by addressing the requirements of an ATFM system, present and future.
IFATCA Policy is:
IFATCA encourages the implementation of ATFM processes provided that:
- The process achieves an optimum overall performance.
- Air Traffic Controllers and Flow Management Controllers are involved in the
design of their local procedures and the determination of capacity values and / or
occupancy values.
- The communication between and the compatibility of regional systems is established.
- The tactical capacity is managed on an operational level.
- The process, including restrictions, is transparent to all users.
- Procedures are in place to allow controllers to report occasions where they
felt overloaded or sector capacity values were exceeded. Feedback should be given to the reporting controller.
