Objectives

1. To understand the purpose of the Airport Flow Tool (AFT)
2. To understand the purpose of the Central Airspace Management Unit Web Interface (CAMU Web)

AFT is a pre-tactical advanced decision support tool used to monitor system demand and capacity, and implement traffic management initiatives to efficiently resolve imbalances within the South African airspace. AFT provides CAMU with a common situational awareness through the use of Airport Demand List (ADL) data, a traffic schedule comprised of a combination of OAG schedule, IATA airport slots and flight data processor data. AFT presents graphical and timeline presentation of aerodrome and airspace demand and capacity information, and contains powerful utilities for ground delay management and analysis allowing CAMU air traffic flow specialists to react quickly to airspace constraints.
