• Abstract:
  An airborne tool has been developed based on the concept of an aircraft maintaining a time-based spacing interval from the preceding aircraft. The ; Advanced Terminal Area Approach Spacing (ATAAS) tool uses Automatic ; Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) aircraft state data to compute ; a speed command for the ATAAS-equipped aircraft to obtain arequired ; time interval behind another aircraft. The tool and candidate operational ; procedures were tested in a high-fidelity, full mission simulator with active ; airline subject pilotsflying an arrival scenario using three different modes ; for speed control. Eyetracker data showed only slight changes in ; instrument scan patterns, and no significant change in the amount oftime ; spent looking out the window with ATAAS, versus standard Instrument ; Landing System (ILS) procedures.
