The course aims to provide participants with a general understanding of concepts related to arrival management at multiple airports. They will have the opportunity to learn about the DFS environment and how these concepts are implemented at ACC Langen for Cologne-Bonn/Duesseldorf. Participants will also have the chance to discuss the application of these concepts to their own cases. Additionally, visits to Cologne-Bonn Tower will offer practical insights and firsthand experience on the interaction of A-CDM between the Tower and the area and approach control center (for managing ARR/DEP).
