Beschreibung:
The problem of mixing four-dimensional (4D) equipped aircraft (aircraft equipped with on-board guidance systems that can predict and control the touchdown-time of an aircraft to an accuracy of a few seconds throughout the descent) with unequipped aircraft in the terminal area has been investigated via a real-time air traffic control simulation study. The objective of this study was to develop scheduling algorithms and operational procedures for various traffic mixes that ranged from 25 percent to 75 percent 4D equipped aircraft. Results indicate substantial reduction in controller workload and an increase in orderliness when more than 25 percent of the aircraft are 4D equipped. Moreover, this is accomplished without increasing the workload or adding delays for the unequipped aircraft.
