Evolving Issues for TFM

• Joint civil-military use of airspace
• Eliminate waste of airspace resources
• Revisit allocation principles and policies
• constantly balance needs
• Fuel conservation
• Environmental considerations
• Emissions
• Noise
• Safety as traffic increases rethinking systems

43
Evolving Issues for TFM

• Congestion management challenges
• Weather prediction, distribution, display, use
• Planning in the face of uncertainty ?
  flexibility, options theory concepts vs. optimal
  plan
• Aircraft contention for upper airspace (RJs,
  UAVs, small aircraft, space launch/re-entry)
• Radio spectrum depletion

Evolving Issues for TFM

• Capacity-building strategies
• Reduced separation
• Wake vortex work
• Aircraft technology equipage, privileges,
  incentives
• New operating concepts, roles responsibilities
  (controllers, flight crews, dispatchers, TFM,
  automation)
• Predictability improvement declaration of
  intent need for data link-based concepts
• Improved coordination across system
• New collision risk models

Evolving Issues for TFM

• Economic Considerations
• Valuation of resources, including time of day
• Allocation of resources using market-based
  incentives
• Change user behaviors maximize efficiency in
  resource use
• TFM role in providing market-based mechanisms
  facilitating secondary markets
