Air Traffic Management Requirements and Performance Panel
Background
The Air Traffic Management Requirements and Performance Panel was established by the ANC in December 2004, in order to work on ATM operational concepts, obtain consensus on several issues, such as autonomy of flight, separation assurance, collision avoidance, situational awareness, optimization of traffic flows, etc. ATMRPP is expected to undertake specific studies in order to develop SARPs, procedures and guidance material necessary for the evolutionary implementation of an integrated, global air traffic management system.
Scope
The ATMRPP will undertake specific studies, develop and review technical provisions to support the integration of the GANP and develop concepts and provisions aimed at the realization of the vision established by the Global ATM Operational Concept (GATMOC).
Required expertise
The panel is composed of experts familiar with air traffic management, aircraft operations, information management and system engineering.
About the Panel...
Objectives
In line with the GANP, the Panel will develop concepts, SARPs, PANS and guidance material supporting the concept of Flight and Flow Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE), System Wide Information Management (SWIM) and Trajectory-based Operations (TBO), taking into account future demands on airspace and airport capacity, and communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) systems available.
Working arrangements
The panel chairperson may establish working groups as necessary. ATMRPP should coordinate their work with the various other groups of experts responsible for other disciplines, as appropriate. Coordination is especially needed when the concepts developed reach a level of maturity that allow other expert groups to continue the necessary developments towards implementation.

He is an appointed Unit Check Controller (Area Control), a certified team leader for OJT, and has also taken the role of an Area (Procedural) course instructor in the Singapore Aviation Academy.
Mr. Lim participates actively in international and regional fora such as the FAA-led Multi-Regional Trajectory Based Operations (MR TBO) demonstration (Project lead for Singapore). The MR TBO project aims to identify and validate key TBO enablers, including System Wide Information Management (SWIM) and Flight and Flow Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE). He is also actively involved in ASEAN and Asia Pacific meetings.
In his personal capacity, Mr. Lim is the President of the Air Traffic Controllers’ Association (Singapore) (ATCA-S). Mr. Lim can be reached at [email protected].
