To increase the accuracy of ATFMATFM thus reducing

any differences in data between ATFMATFM and ATCATC.

To improve short-term traffic demand forecasts.

To reduce over-delivery.

To enable more accurate slot allocations thus

improved utilisation of the available capacity.

To improve reaction to short-terms events.

The Objective of FAM is to:The Objective of FAM is to:

Allow a more efficient use of the available capacity

Provide an incentive for Aircraft Operators to update their EOBTs


Take benefit from ETFMS data to improve Traffic Load counts



Identifies flights which should have departed andfor which nothing is received to confirm their departure

Informs the AOs of the action for them to react

Takes action on these flights by shifting them several times (until a time parameter) and then suspending them, unless a message, which confirms that the flight is delayed or the flight is airborne, has been received

Flight Activation Monitoring Flight Activation Monitoring (FAM)(FAM)


FAM is applied on all flights, whether regulated or not, departing from and/or landing at areas where CPRs are received by the CFMU and FAM is activated.

CPR coverage is an essential requisite for FAM to be applied. When CPR coverage in a particular area is not at the level considered as ‘safe’, then FAM is deactivated for this area.

Flights departing from and landing in non FAM enabled areas are NOT affected by FAM, irrespective if they fly through CPR covered or non CPR-covered FAM enabled areas en-route.

Application of FAM (1)Application of FAM (1)

Where FAM is applicable, the timing starts at departure if it is FAM enabled, or if it is not, at the entry of the first CPR-covered FAM enabled

area (AUA), provided there is continuous FAM coverage to destination.
