Denver Metroplex Related TM Initiatives
• Potential daily GDP for arrivals between 1300-0600Z or as needed
• Denver implemented XM (TBFM) on Jan 28, 2020
– Data gained from XM implementation expected to directly influence need for GDP
• Day 1-5: 80-86 AAR
• Day 6-10: 86-96 AAR
• MIT implemented as needed to fine tune delivery and support TBFM
• All TMIs will be continuously evaluated
• TMIs will be lowered or removed when there is confidence that the
procedures, airspace, and automation are working as designed and the
controller workforce has had appropriate familiarization with the new
procedures.

Pref Routes and Fix Balancing
• Pertinent playbook routings
– Currently available from east coast to KDEN: used tactically as necessary
– West coast to KDEN volume will be reviewed and tactical measures utilized on an as
needed basis to adjust or balance traffic flow
– Coordination will take place with stakeholders and 1st Tier facilities
– ATCSCC route advisory published daily (as needed)
• Pref routes/Stitching document:
– Revised/updated for current requirements
– Flight planners updated February 5, 2020 to provide fix balancing into KDEN
