Ensure an operational briefing is conducted at least once during the day and evening shifts. Participants must
include, at a minimum, the STMCIC, Operations Supervisor-in-Charge (OSMIC)/Controller-in-Charge (CIC) and
other interested personnel as designated by facility management. Discussions at the meeting should include
meteorological conditions (present and forecasted), staffing, equipment status, runways in use, Airport
Arrival Rate (AAR), TBM use, and Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs) (present and anticipated).
Assume responsibility for TMC duties when not staffed.
Ensure that TBM operations and TMIs are carried out by personnel providing traffic management services.
Where authorized, perform EDST data entries to keep the activation status of designated EDST Airspace
Configuration Elements current.
Perform assigned actions in the event of an EDST outage or degradation, in accordance with the requirements of
FAA Order 7210.3, Facility Operation and Administration, and as designated by facility directive.
Ensure changes to TBM operations and TMIs are implemented in a timely manner.
OS/CIC must:
Keep the TMU and affected sectors apprised of situations or circumstances that may cause congestion or delays.
Coordinate with the TMU and personnel providing air traffic services to develop appropriate TBM operations or
TMIs for sectors and airports in their area of responsibility.
Continuously review TBM operations and TMIs affecting their area of responsibility and coordinate with TMU for
extensions, revisions, or cancellations.
Ensure that TBM operations and TMIs are carried out by personnel providing air traffic services.
Where authorized, perform data entries to keep the activation status of designated EDST Airspace Configuration
Elements current.
Perform assigned actions in the event of an EDST outage or degradation, in accordance with the requirements of
FAA Order 7210.3, Facility Operation and Administration, and as designated by facility directive.
Ensure changes to TBM operations and TMIs are implemented in a timely manner.
Personnel providing air traffic services must:
Ensure that TBM operations and TMIs are enforced within their area of responsibility. TBM operations and TMIs
do not have priority over maintaining:
(a) Separation of aircraft.
(b) Procedural integrity of the sector.
Keep the OS/CIC and TMU apprised of situations or circumstances that may cause congestion or delays.
Continuously review TBM operations and TMIs affecting their area of responsibility and coordinate with OS/CIC
and TMU for extensions, revisions, or cancellations.
Where authorized, perform data entries to keep the activation status of designated EDST Airspace Configuration
Elements current.
Perform assigned actions in the event of an EDST outage or degradation, in accordance with the requirements of
FAA Order 7210.3, Facility Operation and Administration, and as designated by facility directive.
ARTCCs, unless otherwise coordinated, must:
Support TBFM operations and monitor TBFM equipment to improve situational awareness for a system approach to
TBM operations.
Monitor arrival flow for potential metering actions/changes and, if necessary, initiate coordination with all
facilities to discuss the change to the metering plan.
TRACONs, unless otherwise coordinated, must:
Support TBFM operations and monitor TBFM equipment to improve situational awareness for a system approach to
TBM operations.
Monitor arrival flow for potential metering actions/changes and, if necessary, initiate coordination with all
facilities to discuss the change to the metering plan.
Schedule internal departures in accordance with specific written procedures and agreements developed with
overlying ARTCCs and adjacent facilities.
ATCTs, unless otherwise coordinated, must:
Monitor TBFM equipment to improve situational awareness for a system approach to TBM operations.
When equipped, and departure scheduling is in effect, use automation to obtain a departure release time from
the TBM system.
When departure scheduling or Call for Release is in effect, release aircraft so they are airborne within a
window that extends from 2 minutes prior and ends 1 minute after the assigned time, unless otherwise
coordinated.
NOTE: Coordination may be verbal, electronic, or written.
