For every flight* in European skies, any pilot intending to depart from or arrive at one of the 40 countries which form part of the CFMU area must submit a flight plan to the CFMU.
|
|
|
- We check the detailed flight intentions against the airspace structure with the help of the Integrated Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS);
- We analyse the compatibility of requests before the flight plan can be accepted, in about 12% of cases, inconsistencies need to be resolved (and manual intervention can take place);
- We suggest alternative routes;
- We send a copy of every accepted flight plan to all local air traffic control centres in Europe overflown by that particular flight.
|
|
|
Hence, we ensure:
- A centralised flight plan processing service for the States within the CFMU area with the objective of rationalising reception, validation, acceptance and distribution of Repetitive Flight Plan (RPL) and Filed Flight Plan (FPL) data.
- Provision of flight data for ATFM planning, monitoring and slot allocation as required in the European ATFM concept.
- Assurance of flight plan consistency across Europe and management of its repository.

Two operational units working in shift to ensure a 24/7 service, located at two different sites (Brussels and Paris) to guarantee business continuity in the event of a disaster.

We can receive up to 35,000 flight plans a day, spread over 544 major airports and a number of small airfields.
Two years in a row, in 2007 and 2008, 10 million aircraft took off and landed safely in Europe.
