The Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) program is a critical FAA initiative designed to improve airport surface operations, enhance traffic flow predictability, and increase overall air traffic management efficiency across the National Airspace System. The TFDM Training Scenario Generation Tool supports the development of site-specific, operationally realistic training scenarios used by air traffic controllers. These scenarios enable effective deployment, validation, and adaptation of TFDM capabilities at individual facilities by reflecting local airport configurations, traffic patterns, and operational procedures.
