In today's Traffic Flow Management (TFM) operation, some flow restrictions may be used that are procedurally applied to aircraft while they are on the ground before departure. Although there are some drawbacks to this approach, the application of required delay before flights depart allows that delay to be taken by the flight when it does not have to burn fuel to stay aloft. Delaying flights on the ground also allows the delay to be taken in a manner (i.e., parked on the ground) that does not create significant workload for the sector controllers. |
