Features of the organizational concept of airspace management planning in the Russian Federation on the example of the Moscow airspace

   In order to solve the tasks of increasing capacity of the air traffic service sectors (ATS), it is planned to use a number of measures to regulate air traffic flows at the stages of strategic and pre-tactical planning. In practice, the application of such measures is ineffective due to the deviation of the parameters of actual flights from those stated when submitting flight plans.

   The purpose of this study is to identify the main problems in the air traffic planning organization for the subsequent proposal of measures to improve the regulation of air traffic flows and prevent conflict situations at the stages of strategic and pre-tactical planning.

   To achieve this goal, the key documents of air traffic planning were analyzed, the analysis of flight parameters at different stages of planning was conducted on the example of the Moscow Area Center of the Unified Air Traffic Management System (UATMS). The review of the key documents regulating air traffic planning in the Russian Federation and the ICAO recommendations shows difficulties in coordinating and exchanging information between the parties concerned in the Russian Federation airspace management. Deviations from the schedule during the aircraft arrival/departure are calculated using the example of Domodedovo Airport. The number of submitted and canceled applications for the airspace management (ASM) during the air traffic planning in the Moscow Area Center of the UATMS is analyzed. The conducted studies allow us to draw up a conclusion about the state of the air traffic planning system and justify the inexpediency of detecting and preventing conflict situations at the stage of pre-tactical planning. The research revealed the obvious shortcomings of air traffic management in the Russian Federation, which can have a significant negative impact on the safety and economic efficiency of aircraft flights.
