**Polar and RTE Traffic Count**

## Airspace Review 

**Initiated at the request of Anchorage ARTCC**
**Conducted by an independent team formed by FAA’s Western Service Center.**
**Team composition includes members from Terminal and Oceanic backgrounds.**
**Preliminary work was completed by core group summer 2007.**
**Full team will continue work at Anchorage during late September.**

## Automation – Ocean21 Next Step

**Incorporation of the Anchorage Arctic FIR  into Ocean21 Platform.**

**Notes:**
Red and blue outlined area depicts Anchorage Center’s current Sector 4.  Red area depicts the Anchorage Arctic FIR.  Blue area depicts Domestic airspace.

## Automation – FDP2000

**Automated delivery of HF messages to control position.**
**Improved connectivity with the Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS).**

## Procedures 

**Mach Number Technique***
**With Murmansk ACC**
**Effective Oct. 25th**
**Permits a reduction in track slot allocation**
***Only effective for same track flights.**

## Procedures 

**“****Reverse” Mach Number Technique***
**With Murmansk and Magadan ACC**
**Effective Oct. 25th**
**Provides greater flexibility for “faster in back” situations**
***Only effective for same track flights.**

## Procedures 

**ERNIK – B240**
**Available in DOTS+ effective Oct. 25****th**
**Westbound only**
**Routing via either OME (Nome) or ENM (Emmonak)**

## ZAN Traffic Count

**Notes:**
Other oceanic traffic count numbers not currently available due to programming issue within Ocean21 system.  FAA Automation researching problem and resolution due shortly.
