1. General

The CDM plugin simulates a version of the Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) process, which is commonly implemented in real-world aviation. This process is designed to optimize the calculation of departure slots for aircraft while they are at their parking positions, aiming to reduce delays at the runway holding points.

In real life, (GMMN) and (GMMX) are the only airports with A-CDM implementation planned, but since we get more traffic in some of our events and to simplify/reduce workload on our ATCO’s, we decided to implement it.

The station responsible for running the plugin is XXXX_DEL. XXXX_GND or XXXX_TWR can run it if the latter is not available.

2. Setup and Connection

The plugin is implemented in the start-up list of Euroscope by default.

To connect to the plugin use this command: .cdm master XXXX

Note: XXXX refers to the airport’s ICAO code

 

Below, you can find the explanation of the time codes:

EOBT: Estimated Off-Block Time. Time filed by the pilot in the flight plan.

(Only relevant on events with bookings)

TOBT: Target Off-Block Time Time. The pilot will be ready for pushback.

(will be set by ATC when the pilot calls ready)

TSAT: Target Start-Up Approval Time. The pilot can expect start-up approval from ATC.

CTOT: Calculated Take-Off Time Time. The pilot shall take-off at this time.

(Valid for -5/+10 minutes from CTOT)
