Abstract

This chapter focuses on Air Traffic Management (ATM), the system of systems to simultaneously manage more flight trajectories to achieve safe and efficient flow of traffic. After introducing the fundamentals of ATM and the Air Traffic Services (ATS), the remaining part of the Chapter provides the essential ideas on the flight trajectory management in ATM systems and the principles of trajectory predictions.

This chapter is co-authored by Razvan Margauan, Head Technical Systems at EUROCONTROL Maastricht Upper Area Control.
