51 ACDM is a process, not a project. To recap, it requires the following elements: ⢠Everyone needs to realize that a better airport operation benefits everyone. Many issues should be addressed by the whole operation rather than individual entities. ⢠Success will require commitment of airports and participant resources, particularly staff time. ACDM is not a quick fix, and meetings must be frequent. ⢠All impacted entities need to be included, even those that have little technical knowledge of the issue being addressed. ⢠Team building and trust must be established. Data sharing and group goals are for the benefit of the entire airport, not one entity. ⢠Data availability must be guarded and protection provided from use for competitive reasons between participating entities. There is a great deal of data available, and transitioning data to useable information is a group effort. ⢠Sharing of knowledge and experience is critical. Airport and flight operations staff have valu- able experience and knowledge, and different perspectives can ensure a valuable end product that benefits everyone. This includes sharing of ACDM experience between airports. ⢠Metrics should be utilized to measure success. Even though a formal BCA will not usually be required, success and benefits need to be measured to improve the next application. ⢠Lessons learned should be tabulated for future efforts. This includes sharing experiences at Airports Council InternationalâNorth America (ACIâNA); American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE); and similar conferences so that other airports can understand the prin- ciples and practices. As mentioned previously, a series of checklists are provided in Appendix B to guide the airport through an ACDM application. Please refer to those to begin the ACDM process.
