.
Over-flight of suburbs X and Y prohibited between 2300-0530 (projectobjective).
In such a case, The Terminal Airspace design team would be tasked to fulfil the (very specific and narrow) project objectives. To this end, it would have to derive /determine designobjectives compatible with the project objectives (see para. 2.3).

2.2.3 ATM PROJECT
In contrast to the previous project ‘types’, ATM-type projects are usually initiated for ATM – related reasons by either the Terminal Airspace design team, operational air traffic controllers, airspace users etc. As such, these projects are initiated because some operational requirement has been identified. Examples of an operational requirement include:-
.
Reduce the workload of Sector TX between 1000-1700 UTC on week-days.
.
Increase the frequency of north-bound departures exiting the Terminal Airspace via point KODAP.

It is then up to the Terminal Airspace design team to ‘translate’ or derive design objectivesfrom these operational requirements by going through the process such as the example provided in para. 2.3.

Irrespective of the managerial framework within which the Terminal Airspace design team operates, the Terminal Airspace design team is ideally made up of specialist airspace planners (where available), operational Approach Controllers, at least one operational Area controller, a Tower controller and a PANS-OPS specialist.
Whilst these members may be viewed as the core of the team, this is not the team’s limit. On a needs basis, the team will grow to include additional expertise such as pilots, engineering, simulation and safety specialists. If the decision to include such specialists is not taken when the project is launched, it is advisable to identify which specialists are needed once the objectives and scope have been formulated and tasks identified (see paras.2.4.1 and 2.4.2).
Depending upon the internal arrangements of a particular ANSP, the team may be led by the Operational Manager or a separate team leader. A Single focal point for the team is a useful way of ensuring that there is at least one individual whose most important task is to oversee, co-ordinate and ensure coherency of all the work being done. Other tasks of the leader include ensuring that schedules are kept, that communication occurs with relevant (dependent) projects and that the project’s development is consistent and coherent with the larger project.
