IFATCA Policy is:

Implementing trial contrail avoidance strategies shall:

  • Not be discouraged outright, in the interest of gathering relevant data
  • Report data in a transparent manner
  • Consider potential ATCO workload, and where necessary ATCO workload shall be managed to ensure safety
  • Determine a baseline of Airspace/Sector efficiency from which to compare operations under contrail avoidance strategies
  • Consider the efficacy of contrail avoidance strategies for the entire ATM system and not on single flight missions
