The process of Flow Management involves continual monitoring and regulation of the flow of air traffic. The timely implementation of flow management measures and the communication of restrictions to the appropriate controllers are of prime importance, as is the adherence to restrictions by aircraft operators.
IFATCA Policy is:IFATCA recognises the potentially dangerous situations that can arise when ATFM measures are not adhered to. When ATFM measures are implemented, sufficient information shall be passed to relevant stakeholders including ATC unit and aircraft operators. Appropriate systems and procedures shall be provided to ATCOs to ensure compliance with ATFM measures. The appropriate authorities shall establish a mechanism for addressing repeated non-adherence to ATFM measures. |
