Improving air traffic management together. . .

Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is a joint government/industry initiative aimed at improving air traffic management through increased information exchange among the various parties in the aviation community. The CDM program is made up of representatives from government, general aviation, airlines, private industry and academia who are working together to create technelogical and procedural solutions to traffic flow problmes that face the National Airspace System (NAS).

The principle behind CDM is that shared information on all sides will lead to a safer and more efficient NAS.
