How to set movements limitations
ATC movements limitations are put in place to ensure that the airfield is not overburdened with too much air traffic, which can lead to congestion, delays, and other safety hazards. By carefully managing and limiting the number of aircraft movements, ATC can help ensure that flights operate safely and efficiently at the airfield.
RedAtlas has the ability to limit the number of bookings within a specified time period e.g. 5 movements every 10 minutes. When this limit is exceeded, the system will block the creation of new bookings being created on an online PPR or Book-out public form. The system will display a warning when creating bookings within the ATC application bookings screen or the scheduled movements in the back office but will allow the user to ignore the warning. Movements entered directly into the ATC application movements screen are unaffected.

- Go to Admin > Common > Firm Settings
- Click on
