What is CTOP?

• Collaborative Trajectory Options Program

• A new type of Traffic Management Initiative (TMI)

• Designed to help manage en route traffic around a constraint

in the National Airspace System (NAS)

• Designed to accommodate user preferences

NBAA & CTOP

• NBAA involvement with CTOP

• Assisted in CTOP development since the concept’s

inception

• Continued participation on FAA’s TFM Deployment Team

• Why is NBAA involved in CTOP?

• To ensure the interests of the business aviation

community are represented

• To ensure that business aviation operators to able to

participate in CTOP programs

• CTOP is an important piece of NextGen, to which NBAA is

strongly committed

Operational Concept and

Scenario Walkthrough


13


13

• Collaborative Trajectory Options Program

• A collaborative approach to managing NAS

constraints

• ATC sets and manages to the capacity of a

constraint

• Flight operators will control how each flight responds

to a constraint based on their business model

• New data exchange connection is required

• New policies and procedures are required

What is CTOP?


14


14

The Problem

• Airspace constraint caused by weather, equipment failure, unusually high demand, etc..

• Today there are 2 primary National TMIs: – Required Reroutes

– Airspace Flow Program (AFP)


15


15

How Things Work Today

• Flight Operators are limited to reacting

• Requesting exemption from required reroute

• Improving their EDCTs in an AFP

• Air traffic managers have no information on

flight operator preferences.


16


16


• An en route constraint is identified (caused

by weather, unusually high demand, etc

• One of two TMIs are used to manage traffic

around the constraint

17


17


• One type of TMI is a Required Reroute

• Playbook routes, CDR’s, Ad Hoc routes, etc

• Advisory issued by Air Traffic Control System

Command Center


18

How Things Work Today • The second type of TMI is an Airspace Flow

Program (AFP)

FCA001

Introducing CTOP

• CTOP is to manages with a mix of required routes and ground delays to deal with the congestion.

• CTOP provides the NAS users as much say as possible in the reroute.

– The FAA specifies the constraints.

– NAS users submit their route preferences.

• Given the constraint, the CTOP TMI assigns each flight trajectory from the Users TOS. – May or may not have delay associated.


20


20

Introducing CTOP

• Using the new Collaborative Trajectory Options Program (CTOP):

• Provides the flight operator as much input as possible in reroutes or delay programs

• Utilizing use preferences

• Provides air traffic managers with

• Better information on flight operator preferences

• More flexibility in managing a constraint

• Applies route assignment and/or departure time assignment (EDCT)

TOS filing by Flight Operator

TOSes must be in correct format

– TFMS will do a syntax check

TOS options will conform to:

– Pref-routes

– NRP

– Required Routes (ATCSCC Advisory Routes)

– Flight Plan acceptable routes

CTOP Assignment

• After TOSs are sent, the program goes

through the following phases:

• Propose and Respond

• FAA air traffic managers (at the FAA Command Center)

propose a CTOP based on the submitted TOSs

• Collaborate and Refine

• Flight operators are given opportunity to provide feedback

on the proposed CTOP

• FAA air traffic managers refine the plan

How Can I tell if a CTOP is running

• The Command Center issues the CTOP

• The CTOP can be viewed at www.fly.faa.gov/ois

What Options Do You Have?

• Flight operators can amend/update their

TOSs

• Flight operators can file amended flight

plans to avoid the CTOP


29

CTOP Applications

• Manage demand Enroute

• Manage arrival gate demand to airport or

metroplex

• Departure Gate management

• Special Use Airspace

• High Volume Days (East Coast Holiday

Volume)

• Ski Country (Colorado)

CTOP – Changes & Benefits

• CTOP will introduce a completely new facet

to flight planning

• TOS submissions

• Much more dynamic system

• Importance of participation

• Can mean the difference between departing or

sitting on the ground


36


36

Must all flight operators participate?

• Yes, if a flight is captured in a CTOP FCA, it is a participant, as happens today with an AFP or GDP

• The flight operator is not required to submit a TOS

• A filed flight plan will be treated by the automation as a “single trajectory” TOS

• In this case, the flight will be limited to receiving ground delay appropriate for the trajectory on its filed flight plan, if it intersects a CTOP FCA


37


37

How Can Business Aviation

Operators Participate?

• User interface

• Some flight plan service providers are working on customer-facing interfaces to allow for CTOP participation

• Business aviation operators should check with their providers to determine options

• CDM vs. non-CDM

• CDM providers have a direct connection to FAA’s TFMS and allow for submission of TOSs

• Non-CDM providers do not have this connection and do not allow for submission of TOSs


38


38

Conclusions

• CTOP provides a new facet to flight planning and flight plan filing

• Operators must choose whether or not to participate by submitting TOSs

• Participating in CTOP can result in reduced delays for your flight operation

• Those operators who do participate will need assistance with generating and submitting TOSs

• User interfaces are being created by various service providers

• Operators should check with their service providers to determine their options
