Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

With rapid growth in air traffic, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been under considerable pressure to increase the capacity of the National Airspace System. One of the FAA's solutions is to provide air traffic controllers with automation tools designed to increase their efficiency. Using experience with the Free Flight Program as a case study, this paper explores some of the challenges and successes with implementing new air traffic control automation tools.
