The ATFM phase during which the following measures are taken: a) reviewing airspace design (route structure and ATS sectors) and airspace utilization policies to look for potential capacity improvements; b) reviewing the technical infrastructure to assess the possibility of improving capacity. This is typically accomplished by upgrading various ATM support tools or enabling navigation, communications or surveillance infrastructure; c) reviewing and updating ATM procedures induced by changes to airspace design and technical infrastructure; d) reviewing staffing practices to evaluate the potential for matching staffing resources with workload and the eventual need for adjustments in staffing levels; and e) reviewing the training that has been developed and delivered to ATFM stakeholders.
