and resolution
Separation
assurance
Trajectories flown instead of tracks facilitated by full surveillance,
better navigation tools, real time communications and automated data
exchange between pilot and controller via data link.
Reduced separation and dynamic management of route structures help
user formulate and request preferred flight profile.
Structure changes dynamically based on weather, demand and user
preferences.
If demand exceeds capacity, changes to airspace structure and
trajectories made dynamically.
Procedural changes in separation through improved infrastructure.
Oceanic separation minima massively reduced allowing corresponding
increase in traffic demand.
Real time position data and continuously updated trajectory projections
virtually eliminate manual control procedures in Oceanic airspace.
Improvements in navigation, communication and the use of surveillance
are paramount enablers of reduced separation.
Service providers strategic in providing these functions plus solutions
to traffic congestion and demand for user-defined trajectories using new
tools and procedures.
Service providers have same decision support tools available as en
route controllers
Separation standards and procedures are derived from radar control
techniques.
Service providers use tools to prevent aircraft entering restricted
airspace.
Aircraft crossing Air Defense boundaries reported to the military.
Decision support systems and traffic display similar to en route.
Separation standards may differ.
Environment creates opportunity for transfer of responsibility to the
pilot for specific operations.
CDTI creates pilot situational awareness of nearby traffic. Utilizes
aircraft broadcast of satellite-based position
Trajectories flown instead of tracks facilitated by full surveillance, better
navigation tools, real time communications and automated data exchange
between pilot and controller via data link.
User-preferred routes replace the oceanic track system.
Structure changes dynamically based on weather, demand and user
preferences.
Procedural changes in separation through improved infrastructure.
Vertical, longitudinal and lateral reductions in separation.
More precise monitoring of separation and conformance through surveillance.
Improvements in navigation, communication and the use of surveillance are
paramount enablers of reduced separation.
Service providers strategic in providing these functions plus solutions to
traffic congestion and demand for user-defined trajectories using new tools
and procedures.
Higher degree of cockpit responsibility necessitates appropriate support aids.
Decision support systems and traffic display similar to en route.
Higher degree of cockpit responsibility necessitates appropriate support aids.
Cockpit self-separation provides immediate situation assessment,
communications (i.e. air-to-air) and greatly reduced separation standards.
