GDPs for SWAP Efforts • Guidance Material / Analysis - For S2001 • Exclude Center - For S2001 • GDP By Multi Fix • GDP By Multi Airport • GDP By FCA • Other Ideas Metron
GDP Guidance • Consider GDP Goals • Reduce Airspace Volume • Reduce Arrival Rate to Control Departure Delays Metron
Approach • Use Analysis of Historical Data to Provide a ‘Guide’ • Guide Can Be Used to Determine; • Which Airports Need to be Included • Which Center to Include, Exempt, or Exclude • What Rates Should Be Used • What Start and End Times Should be Used • Available to All CDM / SPT participants Metron
How Rates Are Set • Evaluate Historical Data to Determine Average Demand • Between Centers • Through ARCS • Through Sectors • Based on Highest Demand Airports Provide Suggestions • Which Airports Should Have GDPs • What Rates Should be Used • Which Facilities Metron
