Slot compliance alarms • Shadow-mode means alarms are not used • ATC works for real • they take care of early/late flights • alarm can be meaningful even if take-off is on slot • MTOT precision ~ Alarm precision • ATCO opinion is that they are reliable and usable
Probability of an slot alarm to be reliable • Statistical simulation of the Alarm prediction based on MTOT error • Measurement of discrepancies between simulated alarms and slot compliance
Qualitative results • For Airlines • Good understanding of taxiing • COBT / CTOT warning very helpful • For Airport • Anticipation of airport saturation • For ATC • Capacity to manage efficiently • Helpful to comply with slots • TOBT very important in the process
Conclusions on Predictability Improvement • Better estimates for each event • The virtuous circle • Not possible in shadow-mode • Better in-block Better off-block • Better off-block Better take-off • Better take-off Better in-block ?
