/GrAdEd A+/
Flight Data Information ✔✔ - Flight Data Processing (FDP) system provides controllers with
information about each aircraft and pertinent airport and weather information
ARTCC ✔✔ Equivalent to ICAO ACC, control airspace in respective FIR, traffic management unit
controllers are located in every ARTCC facility, ARTCCs may interface with foreign ATC facilities
Area Control Center ✔✔ Responsible for controlling aircraft EnRoute in a particular volume of
airspace (known as a Flight Information Region (FIR), divided up into areas sometimes called
"specialties"
Radar Data ✔✔ - Managed by using a system called Radar Data Processing (RDP) -
Collects/combines radar data obtained from multiple radar sites
- Data is digitized, analyzed, and then routed to each controller for display
Flight Data and Radar Data ✔✔ - Both streams of data are manipulated and viewed by the
controller using computer equipment known as En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM)
ERAM ✔✔ - has replaced the 40 year-old En Route Host computer and backup system used at
20 ARTCC facilities, is the heart of the Next Generation Air Transportation System and the pulse
of the NAS, helping to advance the transition from a ground-based system of air traffic control
to a satellite-based system of air traffic management.
- Help increase traffic flow in the future prevent gridlock and delays
- Improves efficiency
- able to track 1,900 aircraft at a
time instead of the previous 1,100 flight capability
- Flexible routings, user friendly interface
, ASP ✔✔ - Arrival Sequencing Program: Is an automated program designed to assist in
sequencing aircraft destined for the same airport by assigning times for aircraft to cross the
arrival metering fixes
GDP ✔✔ - Ground Delay Programs: Implemented to control air traffic volume to airports where
the projected traffic demand is expected to exceed the airport's acceptance rate for a lengthy
period of time, lengthy periods of demand exceeding acceptance rate are normally a result of
the airport's acceptance rate being reduced for some reason
DSP ✔✔ - Departure Sequencing Program = assigns a departure time to achieve a constant flow
of aircraft departing several airports that will fly over a common point
ESP ✔✔ - En Route Sequencing Program (ESP) assigns departure times that will facilitate
integration into the en route traffic stream, does not necessarily mean all aircraft are going to
the same arrival airport
EDCT ✔✔ - Expect Departure Clearance TimeFlights are assigned departure times, which in turn
regulates their arrival time at the impacted airport
GS ✔✔ - Ground Stops: are the most restrictive method of traffic management, and override all
other traffic management programs, implemented with little or no warning, keeps aircraft on
the ground based on specific criteria, such as departure or destination airport, airspace or
aircraft type, aircraft may not be released without the approval of the originator of the ground
stop
Canadian air traffic organization ✔✔ - Nav Canada
- Agreement of FAA/Nav Canada
International Airspace (ICAO) ✔✔ -Flight Information Region (FIR)
