Description:
It is pointed out that advances in avionics and computer technology have reached the point where serious attention may be given to structuring a new controlled air traffic environment. The principal feature of such an environment is related to the capability of pilots to perform certain active ATC functions from the cockpit. The main function is concerned with the ability to maintain safe separation from other aircraft under all meteorological conditions. Technical features available to permit such a functional change include such concepts as the Discrete Address Beacon System, a full capability Beacon Collision Avoidance System, data links, computer generated displays, and flight management computers.
