Expanded CDM Procedures (TWR/GND/DEL)

Perform above item before continuing, otherwise all is "????"

Expanded CDM procedures are done from Startup list.list, but can be done via departure list for TWR. Please know that:

  • You should adhere to CDM procedures at all times, either through Departure list or Startup list.
  • You MUST adhere to displayed CTOT for takeoff

Reference Material

Press on the top of the TSAT column where it says TSAT! This orders the departure list after TSATs and makes it easier to manage


With expanded mode there is a lot more information, but procedures are very similar

Descriptor

TOBTThere showsare thefour estimatedmain timedescriptor of departuretimes filed(EOBT, TOBT, TSAT, CTOT), separated by thethree pilot.descriptors (E, TTG, CONF), and an additional four additional items (ASRT, ASAT, DE-ICE, ECFMP).

  • TOBT:EOBT: Estimated Off Block Time Is
      Light
    • The greenpilot whenfiled off block time from the flightplan (e.g. Simbrief). The one passengers shows up for.
  • TOBT: Target Off Block Time.
    • The pilot filed off block time, via our CDM tool to confirm actual time of start-up readiness.  
  • TSAT: Target Start-up Approval Time.
    • The time our system calculates based off the TOBT, to have the pilot fit into the sequence.
    • For internal capacity mainly
  • CTOT: Calculated Takeoff Time
    • A Takeoff time at which the aircraft must depart within -5/+10 min of. TSAT is validadjusted accordingly.
    • For external capacity (ECFMP, ATFCM)

Procedures

Procedures depends on whether you are handling SEQ only or DEL+SEQ.

Aircraft calls for ATC Clearance (if within AOR)

If CTOT is present: Advise of CTOT. You MUST in this case adhere to the TSAT. Advise pilot about CTOT!. Advise on earliest startup time (TSAT)

If no CTOT: No further action required at this stagestage.

Aircraft calls for STARTUP/PUSHBACK
  • Right click on TOBT to signal aircraft ready for startup.

  • Check

if CTOT is present:TSAT

  • Adhere to TSAT Displayed . If TSAT is not yet within startup window (Light green), pilot must wait.
  • When TSAT is within startup window (Dark Green) (+/-  5min), Start-up can be approved.approved
  • If

    if no CTOTTSAT is present

    Light
      Green, Pilot is still more than 5 minutes early. he must wait
    • StartIf andTSAT pushis Yellow Start-up can be approved, regardlessbut be quick, it will soon expire.
    • If TSAT is Blank, Flightplan expired and new TOBT must be filed.

    If Start-up cannot be approved.

    • Click ASRT to remind that a request has been made by the pilot

    When start-up approved

    • Update Status to STUP or PUSH to activate ASAT, and blank out the rest of TSAT time
