List Area
The List Area area is part of the Conflicts List window, also featuring the Query Conflicts and Conflicts Overview areas.

The List Area area si divided in two tabs:

  • Reference Detection conflicts: displays flights according to the Reference Detection criteria (CSMC set ups/rules).
  • Detection conflicts: displays flights according to Detection conflicts criteria (AO setups/ rules) - selected by default.

Reference Detection conflicts

Flights tab

The Flights tab displays Flight displayed as Flights.

Each flight is listed under sortable columns containing keyfield information from the schedule and other information to enable analysis of conflicts.

To reduce the number of lines on the page the list area is defaulted to filter on related flights. So for example AFR001 will only appear once on the left side of the list even though it may be involved in many conflicts.

Each entry of a conflict in the Conflict List contains:

  • AO:  Flight designator (AO ICAO code)
  • CFN (Commercial Flight Number)
  • Flight Id (initialised from the CFN)
  • ADEP
  • ADES
  • EOBT
  • ETA
  • CH: denotes a flight subject to user No Change or format restriction
  • ARCT (ICAO Aircraft Type if known, otherwise zzzz)
  • From (The flight valid from period of operation)
  • To (The flight valid until period of operation)
  • #Days (number of flying days of operation)
  • Days: Days of operation
  • SID: The number of flights which are in the same flight id set. If the user changes the flight id all flights in its same id set will also be changed.
  • #C: The number of conflicts the flight is involved in
  • HCP: Highest conflict priority
  • Prio: Sum of priorities according toDetection parameters ( average of rules, overlaps, number of conflicts) 
  • Refprio: Sum of priorities according to Reference detection parameters ( average of rules, overlaps, number of conflicts)  DC Number of total Days in conflict for this Flight ID
  • PR Indication if flight was profiled

You can already make changes to a flight directly from this list, by hard checking one of the flights. Multiple flights can be selected by selecting multiple selection mode and using the select all button.

Hard checking a flight or multiple flights enables certain function buttons and subsets (Modify ATC Flight Id, Modify ATC Flight Id format, Change actions, Same id set and Overlaps).

Hard checking additionally populates the Conflicts for Selected Flight panel in the lower part of the screen.

Conflicts for Selected Flight

This table displays information for the highlighted flight (Flight1) and on the right side information on the flight conflicting with it (Flight 2).

Specific Columns for Flight 1 table:

  • Cl: Conflict Class - possible values are N (not in conflict), S (Single AO), E (Entity conflict) and X (multi AO)
  • S: Conflict status - possible values are R (Resolved) or U (Unresolved)
  • Qual: Qualification - possible values are SA (Same Aircraft), NSM (No Solution Manual), LR (Low Risk), CRM (Change Restricted Manual), NSA (No solution automatic) and CRA (Change restricted automatic)

You may further examine data with the Conflict sub-set option:

  1. Select a flight in the list 
  2. Click on the Conflict Subset button to open a window with all conflicts connected with the selected flight:

This is designed to help in determining which flight to change when deconflicting.

Conflicts Pairs tab

Working in the Conflicts Pairs tab gives similar information to the conflicts for selected flights screen.

You may wish to use it when a small number of conflicts are selected according to overlap location using the filter area.

Qualifying and analysing Conflicts

Once a conflict is highlighted in either the flight list, conflicts for selected flight/s or paired conflicts, several action/information buttons are available:

  • Modify ATC flight id
    Opens the CSST deconfliction window (Manual ,Semi manual and automatic deconfliction modes).
  • Modify ATC flight id format
    Allows you to fix the format of a Flight Id before using the de-confliction modes. The CSST will take the format into account and not change it when proposing solutions.
    Lower case nn (for numeric values), upper case XX (for Alpha chars).
  • Change action
    This highlights a special action attributed to a Flight ID. Three letters are attributed in the CH column:
    1. A -  if you have entered free text which is then visible on querying the Flight ID in the schedule. For example subject overflight Ukraine
    2. N - if you have qualified it as No Change
    3. F - if you have applied the Modify ATC Flight format command to the flight  
  • Same id set
    Shows flights with same id from the schedule. All these will be changed if the User changes the one in the Conflict List .
  • Overlaps
    Identifies other flights which overlap in time and space but are not in conflict. Used to assist in deciding manual solutions.
  • Conflict Details
    Shows the details of the two flights in conflict.
  • Conflict Subset
    Opens a new Conflict List ONLY with the PAIR selected (flight 1 and flight 2) a subset of the Conflict List depending on the selection - a reduced version of the Conflict List  for easier reading.
  • Qualify
    Select an option : UNPROCESSED, NO SOLUTION MANUAL and CHANGE RESTRICTED MANUAL.
  • Same aircraft
    Add or remove the flight pair for selected flights.
  • Low risk
  • No sector in common
    Add or remove the flight pair for selected flights.
  • Same id set
    Shows all flights which will be changed if the target flight is changed.
