Abstract
A worldwide air traffic growth is expected for the future. Continuous increases of traffic demand faces limited infrastructural resources such as parking positions, airways, or runways. In general, the capacity extension of those resources is limited. New concepts under development in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) field represent a promising possibility to achieve optimal resources usage. This work provides a preliminary definition of some cooperative approaches of future ATM concept for the Brazilian environment, called C-ATM/BR. To guide the description of the cooperative approaches, this preliminary definition considered the main three pillars of: advanced common situational awareness; decision making process support; and control measures implementation. These approaches are intended to help de Brazilian Air Transportation authorities to deal with and improve its Airspace Control.
