What does TMU West do?
Coordinate and implement all regional Traffic Management Initiatives (Winnipeg and West)
Focal point for regional stakeholder Communication/Collaboration

Traffic Management Initiatives
Tactical Options:
In-Trail Spacing or Airborne Holding
Call For Release (CFR) during periods of short-term excess demand
Ground Delay Program (GDP)during period of sustained excess demand
13
Collaboration
Strategic Planning Equipment Weather Other Constraints
Customer Requirements and Priorities Ground vs Airborne Delays Managing high priority flights Missed Departure times
Balancing safety and efficiency
History—CYYC Metering
The objectives of the Calgary Metering Project :
• Improve Service Delivery by reducing the use of tactical airborne holding associated with CYYC arrivals
• Reduce Overall System Delays for CYYC Arrivals
Challenges
• Airport Capacity
• Scheduled vs non-scheduled-unpredictable departure times

Vancouver Airspace Review
PHASE III
CHANGES ALREADY IMPLEMENTED
ASDE Virtual Stop Bars
Intersection departure rules
08R/26L ILS GP protection
YVR Tower: ASDE Virtual Stop Bars
YVR Tower: Intersection Departures
Intersection Departure Rules All aircraft are issued threshold departures unless:The flight is a MEDEVAC.The flight has a flow time.There are no other aircraft waiting at the threshold.
Improved safety
Went from third highest Runway Incursions in Canada to 13th
YVR Tower: Glide Path Protection
NAV CANADA and YVR Airport have made a significant investment to move the glide path shacks closer to the runway to improve the hold lines and still ensure the glide path is protected in all weather conditions.
GLIDE PATH PROTECTION
Glide Path Shacks
Old Hold Lines
New Hold Lines Before Glide Path Relocation
New Hold Lines Due to Glide Slope Shack Rearrangement
