Air Traffic Management Concept Baseline Definition - The Boeing ...

Appendix D. Transition Database
This appendix presents a database that captures the relationships between the operational
enhancement steps and the enablers in Figures 6.4-9.
The first column in the tables, Enabler Grouping Number, presents the number assigned to
the enabler grouping. All of the enablers start with a “NAS” for this operatonal concept
and are assigned a number as follows:
1.0 - Navigation
2.0 - Surveillance
3.0 - Airspace
4.0 - Communication
5.0 - ATM tools
6.0 - Weather
7.0 - Airport Enhancements
8.0 - Not modeled
9.0 - Enhanced Flow Management
The second column presents the name of the specific enabler and the third column,
presents the name of the enabler grouping. The fourth column, Capacity Benefit
Mechanism, presents the capacity benefit to be gained from the operational enhancement.
The fifth column, Reference Figure Number, provides the figure number in Section 6 in
which this enhancement appears. The sixth column, Capacity Operational Enhancement,
provides the operational enhancement to be gained from that specific enabler.
The ninth column, Source, provides the name of the document from which the enabler is
presented. In this table, the document used is the ATM Concept Baseline Report. Other
databases have been developed by the C/AFT for Free Flight, EATCHIP and IATA plans,
as discussed in Section 6.
