Flight Schedule Monitor (FSM)
Flight
Schedule Monitor (FSM) creates
a common situational awareness among all users and service providers
in the National Airspace System. All parties need to be aware of NAS
constraints in order to make collaborative air traffic decisions.
Designed to effectively interact with existing FAA systems, FSM displays
the Aggregate Demand List (ADL) information for both airport and airspace
data elements for its users, which means everyone is looking at the
same picture.
FSM presents a
graphical and timeline presentation of airport and airspace demand
and capacity information and contains powerful utilities for ground
delay management and analysis so users can react quickly to NAS constraints.
FSM users monitor specific airports and FCAs, including flights arriving
at and departing from those airports and flights flying through an
FCA. FSM displays specific flight information, arrival and departure
rates, open
arrival slots and other pertinent traffic flow information. Based
on the FSM display, users can determine whether a demand/capacity
imbalance exists and may choose to cancel, delay, or move flights
around to keep traffic moving. Before users take any action on their
flights, they can model several traffic management scenarios and view
the results of the actions on their operation in a matter of seconds.
The FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) uses FSM
for traffic management decision making throughout the NAS. By monitoring
airports and FCAs, ATCSCC views existing demand and constraints at
those elements. Utilizing FSM's modeling and analysis capabilities,
FAA specialists run a series of possible traffic initiatives, including
airborne holding, ground delay programs, airspace flow programs and
ground stops. The FAA currently uses FSM to implement and manage all
U.S. ground delay and airspace flow programs.
FSM
is currently available as freeware to any operator who signs a Memorandum
of Agreement with the FAA.
