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.
