Phase 2 - PREPARE

The PREPARE phases consists in associating an airspace profile to each flight in the schedule, these profiles being derived from the standard profile catalogue that the NM provides to the CSST.

In addition, this use case prepares the next one by computing the potential overlaps on which DECONFLICT will base the work to detect conflicts efficiently.

This is how the PREPARE tab looks like when first opened. Note the 'back' arrow, allowing you to return to the previous phase.

This short phase associates an airspace profile to each flight in the schedule.. These profiles are derived from the standard Profile Catalogue maintained by CSMC. The phase also prepares for detection by computing the flight overlaps (potential conflicts).

Click on the Profile button to add city pair to your flights. A status popup will appear, allowing you to monitor (or cancel) the process:

 Upon successful completion, a results table is returned, similar to the example below:

As highlighted in the red frame above, your schedule may be fully profiled or partially profiled if city pairs are missing from the profile catalogue.

Missing profiles are indicated as a warning that for these city pairs there will be no airspace overlap calculated. Only a check on aerodrome buffer times will be carried out

The next DETECT/DECONFLICT phase is now reachable  - click on the arrows in the PREPARE tab.
