Nionwide congestion is increasing, and the need for efficient aircraft traffic planning is critical. The Federal Aviion Administrion (FAA) Terminal Flight Da Manager (TFDM) is the surface management solution th will provide NextGen Air Traffic Control capabilities to improve air traffic operions in the Nional Airspace System (NAS).
The Terminal Flight Da Management (TFDM) program is a Federal Aviion Administrion's (FAA) NextGen program based on airport surface management provides th efficiencies for both the airport surface and terminal airspace by providing a new and comprehensive integred surface traffic control and management system.
TFDM functions include:
- Surface Collaborive Decision making (SCDM), departure scheduler and other airport decision tools
- Electronic Flight Da (EFD);
- Enhanced Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS)
- Replacement or integrion of multiple systems in the Nional Airspace System (NAS).
- TFDM will share da among: controllers, aircraft operors, and airports so they can better stage arrivals and departures and manage traffic flow within terminal airspace for greer efficiency.
- Stakeholders will have a shared awareness of flights on the ground and in the air, the ability to exchange da electronically, with the goal of a continuous real-time picture of traffic volume and airport resources, making flights more efficient from ge to ge.
