## Executive Summary

The Future Concepts of Flow Management Sub-Team (FCT) held a meeting the
afternoon of Sep 12, 2006 at Northrop Grumman in Fairlakes, Virginia.
The meeting included discussion of the joint meeting earlier that
morning with the Flow Evaluation Sub-Team (FET), review of the
presentation for the general CDM meeting on Sep 13 and planning for
future meetings. The meeting notes and presentations will be located at
<http://cdm.fly.faa.gov/>. The meeting notes for the joint FCT/FET
meeting on the morning of September 12, 2006 are located at pages 6
through 8 of the Flow Evaluation Team meeting notes found at the
following link:

## Agenda

Several agenda items not covered in the FCT meeting on Sep 11, 2006 were
discussed by the team on Sep 12 (e.g., routing analysis, review of the
general CDM presentation, and planning/next steps).

## Introduction 

The FCT met separately after the joint FCT/FET meeting in the morning
discussing the implementation of the Initial ICR concept. Ved Sud, FAA
co-lead, opened the FCT meeting at 1:00 pm.

The group discussed the current FCT organization. It was decided that
the sub-groups were not working as well as expected (partly due to high
turnover of the FCT group) and were no longer needed.

The group reviewed the FCT update for the general CDM Meeting Sep 13 and
agreed on changes.

## Next Meetings

Telcon prior to Dec meeting (TBD)

Dec 5-6, 8:30 a.m. -- 5 p.m., at NASA Ames

Feb 6-7, 8:30 a.m. -- 5 p.m., in Virginia

March, in conjunction with the next CDM meeting

## System-Integrated Traffic Management Initiatives (SIT)

There was further discussion of the TMI Impact Survey. A draft was
provided to Ved & Bill and approved by Jim Reis & Lorne Cass for
distribution to the TMOs and Customers at the CDM meeting on Sep 13.

Riley Shamburger talked with Diane Boone from the Metrics Working Group.
They are not currently looking into metrics for comparing TMIs, but will
present what they are working on at the next FCT meeting.

SIT topics for the December meeting may include:

1.  Analysis of TMI survey results

2.  Presentations of System-Integrated TMI work done by the various
    research organizations

3.  Identify places where multiple TMIs managed well

    a.  ZJX, ZMA very good at capping/tunneling, reroute/MIT

To clarify for the group, Ved described the four elements for Work
Package 1:

1\. Airspace Flow Management Enhancements

2\. Impact Assessment and Resolution

3\. Domain Integration (Go Button, Surface Data, etc.)

4\. Performance (Metrics, Data Collection, Analysis, etc.)

***Routing Analysis***

Gretchen Wilmouth and Amy Spencer presented a routing analysis. The idea
was to explore possibilities for a more comprehensive database of 'good'
routes for the Route Options Generation (ROG) capabilities. First, the
coverage of the current pre-coordinated route databases was presented
(CDRs & Plays). Then a methodology for generating 'CDR-like' routes from
historical data was discussed.

Jim Ries, Lorne Cass and Mike Gough stopped by to address the group and
answered questions. The Future Concepts of Flow Management Sub-Team
(FCT) meeting was adjourned at 4:30 pm.

Norma Taber led a discussion on integrating Traffic Management Advisor
(TMA) capabilities into Traffic Flow Management (TFM) for those who
could stay after the meeting.

These notes were prepared by Gretchen Wilmouth of Metron Aviation, Inc.
and Norma Taber of MITRE/CAASD.
