<strong>Trajectory</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> <strong>Operations</strong> (<strong>TBO</strong>)<br />
Study Team Report<br />
• Merging <strong>and</strong> spacing tools<br />
• Variable separation st<strong>and</strong>ards support that is both time <strong>and</strong> distance-based <strong>and</strong> supports less<br />
than three-miles separation<br />
• Provides wake turbulence separation<br />
• A subset of departure <strong>TBO</strong> automation provides similar capabilities for remotely staffed tower<br />
services<br />
• Integrates departure weather information into decision making for management of departure<br />
paths<br />
• Supports optimized climb performance by aircraft type <strong>and</strong> takeoff weight to meet<br />
environmental objectives <strong>and</strong> deliver fuel efficiency through use of OPCs (similar to OPDs)<br />

17.9 En Route <strong>TBO</strong> Automation<br />
At the initial level-off, or at any position in the airspace, a transition is made to the en route cruise<br />
phase. Because the line between departure, en route, <strong>and</strong> arrival is now set by resource allocation,<br />
including dynamic airspace, the automation used in the classical en route operations also has elements<br />
of departure <strong>and</strong> arrival. The en route <strong>TBO</strong> automation provides the bridge between departures <strong>and</strong><br />
arrivals, receiving aircraft <strong>and</strong> scheduling the descent into the arrival phase of flight. En route<br />
controllers may select specific modules of functionality, including certain arrival <strong>and</strong> departure<br />
functions.<br />
Many of the same functions used in departure <strong>TBO</strong> are replicated in en route. Some of these functions<br />
can be turned on <strong>and</strong> turned off depending on the airspace configuration <strong>and</strong> the need to support<br />
airports without terminal services. Likewise, en route modules can be found in terminal <strong>TBO</strong><br />
automation, supporting tower en route <strong>and</strong> other low altitude flight processes.<br />
