Available Flight Plans

This set of flight plans originated from an actual day of real-world traffic. A 4 hour slice was selected, and the international flights were removed. Traffic levels were scaled to a 3 hour event. On that day, ODF.FLCON3 and MOL.FLCON3 supported roughly a 3 minute interarrival time into ZTL49/50. So, we've placed flights on CLEAN at a 3 min interarrival time. Correspondingly, the flights from SOT and SPA onto FLCON3 ranged from 2 to 10 minute separations. This traffic mirrors that load roughly. Other traffic that crosses ZTL49 and/or 50 is scaled to meet those same real-world loads, roughly.

Flights are classified in the first column as to the role they play in this event.

• CLEAN are candidates to receive the CDA. Just because you get one of these flights does not mean you'll automatically be put on the CDA. Crossing traffic or congestion along the CDA may preclude ATC putting you on the CLEAN, and you may be put on another flow or given additional altitude clearances or vectors.
• FLCON3 flights should be interleaved with CDA traffic on the FLCON3. Again, crossing traffic and congestion along the procedure may limit ATCs ability to do this, and you may be put on another flow or vectored.
• CROSSING are crossing flights. ATC should try to keep CDA flights on the CDA by vectoring you.

The following information may prove useful:

• DeptDateTime (UTC)[YYMMDD.HHMMSS.KZZZ]: this field describes the date and time of your departure (wheels-up) so that you arrive in ZTL49 or ZTL50 at a predetermined time in the 3 hour interval for the event - assuming you fly the prescribed route, speed and altitude. We do not expect you to depart at exactly this time; within a 10-15 minute window of this time is great.
• EFT(mins): this is estimated flight time to go from your origin to ZTL sector 49 or 50.
• EventArrDateTime: the sum of the first two columns
• AcType: a suggestion. adjust as you need, provided it can fly the route
• NavEquip: another suggestion
• Spd (TAS): modeled true airspeed. Another suggestion. If you use a different speed, you'll arrive at sector 49/50 at a different time.
• Dtime: departure time in HHMM
• FL: flight level used to model the flight. Another suggestion for filing. Clearly ATC will put you where they need you.
• Rte: your route. Note that the first and last tokens are the origin and destination airport, respectively.
