This document describes the operational concept for the Expedite Departure Path (EDP) tool. EDP is part of the Center-TRACON Automation System (CTAS). CTAS provides computer intelligence for planning and controlling arrival and departure traffic within several hundred nautical miles of the adapted airport. It consists of a set of integrated tools. EDP is the tool used by departure controllers in the terminal area. The concept of operation described in this document identifies the specific uses of EDP through operational scenarios. These scenarios are taken from real operational challenges found in the air traffic system. The scenarios illustrate how EDP can safely and optimally expedite the climb of departure aircraft, and merge departures into the en route stream through the use of speed, vector, and altitude advisories. These advisories allow aircraft to be safely climbed and efficiently spaced, while minimizing aircraft maneuvers and controller clearances.
