The Route Management Tool (RMT) was developed for the FAA by Metron Aviation to manage and display several route-related databases. Using RMT, users manage the databases for both coded departure routes (CDRs) and advanced navigation routes (ANRs). In addition to viewing database information, users can add to or modify the operational and staging databases. CDRs are used to reduce coordination time during severe weather or departure congestion events and to standardize route coordination for the user community. ANRs are advanced navigation routes, which use the concept of area navigation and eliminate the need for aircraft to over-fly ground-based navigational aids. In addition, RMT allows users to view released National Flight Data Center (NFDC) tables such as preferred routes, location identification and airway intersections.

 

The RMT centralized database and plan view display is accessible through a www server.

RMT centralized the CDR database and allowed global change on a route description element (e.g., SID/STAR numbers and jet route numbers). Because the CDR database is centralized, there is no database discrepancy among users, thus avoiding costly miscommunication on routes. RMT provides route validation capability as routes are modified or new routes are defined. RMT users can view, search/query, and download the database. RMT users can also view upcoming 56-day cycle CDR changes and prepare for those changes in advance.

RMT was initially deployed in April 2000. The CDR database on RMT can be accessed via CDMnet and/or via the FAA web server (www.fly.faa.gov).
