Tactical OperationsA GUIDE TO THE NETwOrk MANAGEr OpErATIONs CENTrE
Tactical Flow Management Operations
n Real-time optimisation of capacity/demand. This function is supported by a computerised Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management system known as ETFMS, which includes a Computer Assisted Slot Allocation system (CASA);
n Monitors the traffic load and available capa-city on the day of operations and interacts with Flow Management Positions to further optimise the use of capacity across Europe;
n Carries out delay management where aircraft are affected by a regulation in order to offer alternatives and minimise delay.
Tactical Network Management
Monitoring the overall tactical air traffic flow and capacity management (ATFCM) situation to ensure the pan-European compatibility of ATFCM measures.
Coordination and information throughout the Network in order to optimise:
n The route network (re-routing, level capping, etc.);
n Sector configurations;
n ATFCM regulations;
n Flight Efficiency.
Aircraft Operator Liaison
The Aircraft Operator Liaison Officers are the main point of contact with aircraft operators for any ATFCM measure.
Their work is divided between:
n Assisting the Network Management Cell in preparing the daily pre-tactical plan, and
n Participating in daily tactical operations, in particular re-routing.
n Monitoring the weather, anticipating and reporting on its impact on the Network.

Pre-Tactical Flow Management OperationsNetwork Management Cell (NMC)
A GUIDE TO THE NETwOrk MANAGEr OpErATIONs CENTrE
Pre-Tactical Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) takes place in the 6 days before a flight. Its task is to:
n Optimise available capacity to meet forecast demand, and/or
n Manage demand to minimise delay and cost;
n Publish the agreed plan for the day of operations after a process of Collaborative Decision Making.

Airspace Data ManagementA GUIDE TO THE NETwOrk MANAGEr OpErATIONs CENTrE
Management of the Airspace Data System(known as the Environment System):
n The air navigation infrastructure (airways, routes, Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs), Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs), Conditional Routes (CDRs), airports, etc.) as published in the States’ AIPs (Aeronautical Information Publications);
n The ATC sectors as given by the States;
n Aircraft operators’ desired address(es) for receipt of operational messages from the Network Manager Operations Centre.
