As defined on the FAA's Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) program office website, FFP1 is "the limited deployment of [a set of] core capabilities during the 1998 - 2002 time period." The capabilities listed above also include those in the Flight and Oceanic domains introduced during this same time frame.

Some of the capabilities introduced in FFP1 will share flight information via the Common Message Set, in place of the messages currently used for communicating with the Host Computer System. For further information on the Common Message Set and its use in FFP1, see the following: Katkin, R., and T. Waters, Operational and Implementation Considerations for URET to Transition from the 320 Patch to the Common Message Set, A Comparison of the 320 Patch and CMS, June 2000, WN 00W0000033.

Caveats

  • Capabilities introduced in the Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) time frame, not necessarily available everywhere (see associated issue)
  • Capabilities expected to have wider deployment and possibly more functionality in FFP2 time frame and beyond
  • Information sharing among these capabilities not expected to be in place during FFP1 time frame
