steps represented by the boxes, from top to bottom, address a reduction in effective traffic spacing starting with route spacing, intervention buffers, through reduction in the basic separation standard. The improvements implied by each box are described in detail below. Reduced Lateral Spacing For More Arrival And Departure Transitions This enables closely spaced arrival and departure routes to fit additional traffic streams within terminal area corridors. This enhancement will be most beneficial in terminal areas where airspace is constrained due to proximate airports or Special Use Airspace. Airspace design criteria have to be changed to enable this operational enhancement. Those criteria are likely to be predicated on a level of navigation performance of RNP 0.3, along with a corresponding surveillance performance. Airspace will then have to be redesigned around airports where advantage can be taken of this enhancement.

The improvement will be enabled by better trackers for trajectory prediction, automation tools for accurate traffic sequencing and spacing, and automation support to generate accurate ATC vectors for final approach spacing. Reduced Separation Buffer (Aircraft Guidance) 110

The component of the spacing buffer at the final approach fix that is contributed by the aircraft guidance and navigation performance will be improved in this step. This will involve the use of required time of arrival functionality with the appropriate performance parameters, an accurate and common time source and data link to deliver clearances with accurate timing information. In addition, short term conflict alert functionality may be required to improve conformance monitoring. Reduced Horizontal Separation Standard In this operating phase it is normally spacing on final approach that determines the separations applied. As seen in Figure 6.7 the concept includes a plan to reduce spacing on final approach, and thus the approach transition phase may need corresponding separation reductions. The improvement and enablers would be analogous to the last box in Figure 6.6, with perhaps a need for further improvement in navigation and surveillance performance. 6.2.4 NAS Final Approach Figure 6.8 shows the proposed concept transition path to achieve increased capacity in the Final Approach and Initial Departure operating phases. The chart shows two independent enhancement paths, the one on the right centered on additional runways, the one on the left centered on increased runway utilization.
