12.5 Capacity & Demand

Capacity

The maximum number of aircraft that can be safely handled within a sector.

Demand

The number of aircraft requiring service.

Imbalance

When demand exceeds capacity: - Delays may be required - Traffic must be managed strategically

Controller Role

Monitor demand
Adjust flow early
Prevent overload
