Ramp Traffic Console (RTC) Ramp Manager Traffic Console (RMTC) User Manual

Abstract

This document serves as a user manual for the Ramp Traffic Console (RTC) Version 4.6.0 in the Ramp Control Tower. It describes the elements of the RTC interface and provides explanations for how to utilize RTC to manage ramp traffic. RTC provides live data for all flights including Earliest Off-Block Times (EOBTs) and Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs). RTC augments management of ramp traffic by providing notifications of runway configurations, and lists flight arrivals, near arrivals, and departures as additional sources of information. This document also provides instructions for use of the Ramp Manager Traffic Console (RMTC) for Ramp Manager functions, such as adjusting the priority flight list and setting the ramp status. The RTC/RMTC ramp tools are components of the NASA Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) sub-project.
