Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee

The Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee (ATMAC) serves as a Federal Advisory Committee.  Its purpose is to provide the Federal Aviation Administration with consensus-based, recommended investment priorities that will improve the safety, capacity and / or efficiency of the United States air transportation system.  The timing and inter-relationship of government and industry actions will be considered while developing recommendations.

Public and private sector operational requirements, coupled with the current and expected availability of public and private sector funding, are the fundamental criteria upon which ATM Advisory Committee deliberations and recommendations will be based.  International interoperability will also be a major consideration.  System life cycle costs … development, acquisition, facility and equipment modification, training, operation and maintenance and removal from service … will serve as the basis for the economic aspects of the committee’s deliberations.

Meetings of the Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee are open to the public.
