Quick Intro

ALB is an arrival sequencing and planning aid for EuroScope.

In one or two minutes, the important picture is this:

  • ALB helps controllers watch arrival order, planned timing, via-fix flow, landing timeline, holding and EAT coordination, and peer collaboration
  • one ALB instance normally acts as the FMR for a destination airport and shares planning decisions to peers
  • the recommended modern method is EAT:LT, where ALB plans against the landing timeline and the FMR monitors conformance
  • EAT:AR is still available as a rougher fallback method based on via-fix release spacing
  • feeder versus runway view is a separate display and operational-role choice, not an EAT: mode choice

ALB does not fly aircraft or replace controller judgement.

It gives the FMR and peers a shared plan, highlights deviations, and helps the team keep a stable arrival sequence.

What the FMR usually does

  • choose the relevant timeline and layout
  • monitor the landing picture
  • correct aircraft that stop following the expected sequence
  • use Advance 1, Resequence, and hold-related EAT actions when the plan needs explicit intervention

What peers usually do

  • follow the same planning picture
  • treat the shared plan as coordinated by the FMR
  • use local display choices without independently fighting the shared sequence
