Introduction to Collaborative Trajectory Options Program (CTOP)

CTOP is a tool or method of managing demand through constrained airspace while providing flight operators greater control to manage their schedule in regard to both route and delay as defined in their Trajectory Options Set (TOS). Aircraft operators are given greater flexibility with the ability to file multiple flight plan choices in respect to airspace constraints.

Computer Based Instruction on CTOP can be found via the TFM Learning Center. Modules include an introduction to CTOP and Managing CTOP’s.
