Air Traffic Management - Procedures for Air Navigation Services

The Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (PANS-ATM) are the result of the progressive evolution of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Control (PANS-ATC) prepared by the Air Traffic Control Committee of the International Conference on North Atlantic Route Service Organization (Dublin, March 1946).

Originally applicable on a regional basis, the PANS-ATC became applicable on a worldwide basis on 1 February 1950.

This edition, re-titled Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (PANS-ATM), provides for a comprehensive update of the procedures as well as a major reorganization of the contents. The new title reflects that provisions and procedures relating to safety management of air traffic services and to air traffic flow management are included.
