Collaborative Decision Making Module 1 “The Culture of Collaboration” Federal Aviation Administration 2

A Global ATFM System The world’s ATC system is a complex collection of subsystems (ANSPs) that are integrated to provide global ATC services. These complex subsystems need to be highly integrated to accomplish the overall, interrelated goals of a safe and efficient system of travel. Federal Aviation Administration 3

Each subsystem (ANSP) has its own processes to accomplish those goals. Federal Aviation Administration 4

A High-Performance System Exchanges feedback among its various parts Focuses on achieving the goal of the system Makes necessary adjustments to achieve its goals Federal Aviation Administration 5

Collaborative Decision Making FAA and Industry initiative aimed at improving Traffic Flow Management through increased information exchange and improved collaboration. Federal Aviation Administration 6

CDM Objectives To establish a goal-oriented forum between government and industry for the development of solutions to problems within Air Traffic Management (ATM) To facilitate increased information exchange between all ATM stakeholders for more effective decision making To establish an effective communications path among all ATM stakeholders for increased system safety and efficiency Federal Aviation Administration 7

Why CDM? More effective communications Increased information exchange More effective decision making Better solutions to ATM problems Federal Aviation Administration 8

CDM is built on commitment and a willingness to cooperate for the greater good of the system. Federal Aviation Administration 9
