Abstract:

Improved navigational technology, such as microwave landing systems (MLS) or

global positioning systems (GPS), installed in today's commercial aircraft

enable the air traffic control (ATC) system to better utilize its airspace.

This increased efficiency is essential if the ATC system is to meet its growing

demand. Another approach to help increase airport capacity is to direct arrival

traffic to final approach with reduced lateral separations between parallel

runways. Currently, efforts are already underway to increase airport capacity

and efficiency by providing advanced automation to the ATC system. Research

into ATC automation by NASA Ames Research Center in cooperation wtih the Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) has lead to the development of the Center TRACON

Automation System (CTAS). CTAS is intended to provide better traffic management

and plannning information for the ATC environment to reduce delay and increase

air traffic control efficiency for both the TRACON and the ARTCC (Center)

(Erzberger, 1992). The TRACON component of CTAS is known as the Final Approach

Spacing Tool (FAST). The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of

aircraft equipped with improved navigational technology upon controller

coordination and workload under precision approaches to closely-spaced parallel

runways within the CTAS environment.
