Network Headline News
Typical Scope:

 

This Portlet announces events that have a significant impact on the ATFCM Network – the same way the headlines of a newspaper announce the main events of the day. These events may be foreseen or not, such as industrial action, airspace closure, sporting event, bad weather with significant regional impact, etc.

Portlet Structure

Latest News / Ongoing News Tabs

The Portlet opens by default the Latest News tab - to display the list of Headline News as they are set to be announced, with the newest item on top.

Click on the Ongoing News tab to get a list of the currently ongoing events, effectively affecting the Network.

News List

Each line starts with the Date and Time of the item, formatted as DDMMM hh:mm (two digits for the Day and three letters for the Month, then two digits for the hour followed by two digits for the minutes).

Next comes the title of the Network Headline News - displayed in two colors, depending on the level of criticality:

  • black:  INFO means there is no severity - NORMAL is the lowest severity level - WARNING indicates there could be a medium or high severity level.
  • red: ALARM is the highest severity level. The news is critical.
Headline news must not be confused with AIMs (ATFCM Information messages). Events with minor or local impact on the ATFCM Network may be announced via an AIM while significant events will be announced via both media. It will be let to the NM operations to determine the events that come within the Headline News category.

A summary of the News is revealed when clicking on the expand button, as shown below with the third item.
