About this exercise:

Real-time simulations in Toulouse and Rome will validate the feasibility of integrating airborne spacing manoeuvres within an i4D & CTA, Extended AMAN Horizon environment with a view to enhancing procedures.

The main focus of the exercise will be to see if there is operational compatibility between i4D+CTA and Airborne Spacing operations in an Enhanced TMA (E-TMA).

The exercise will also assess whether the AMAN can provide a sufficiently stable time that can become a CTA to further enhance network operations.

Expected outcomes:

• Increased controller efficiency through smoother arrival flows
• Improved traffic predictability in terms of difference between actual flight duration and estimated flight duration (time variability).
