EU and NM ATFM Implementing RuleHandling Critical Events

Article 10 : Member states shall ensure that ATFM procedures for handling critical events are established and published by the central unit for ATFM, in order to minimise disruption to EATMN.

Critical event: an unusual situation or crisis involving a major loss of EATMN capacity, or a major imbalance between EATMN capacity and demand, or a major failure in the information flow in one or several parts of the EATMN.

Here are examples of graphical views offered by the Digital SNOWTAM application. On the overview page:green dots represent airports with all runways in good conditionred dots represent airports for which all the runways have at least one third with poor friction coefficient. Typically, such runways are closed;yellow dots represent situations in between green and red. They operate in "winter conditions", probably with some reduced capacity, but are not closed.blue dots represent SNOWTAM that could not be automatically parsed because of syntax errors.

On the airport zoom page for Brussels:- Colored triangles represent the contaminant and the friction coefficient status. More detailed information is available through the menu, including the original SNOWTAM message.
