Abstract:A prototype decision support tool for terminal area air traffic controllers,
referred to as the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), was recently evaluated in
operation with live air traffic at the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Airport,
Controllers utilized FAST's runway and sequence advisories to manage and control
arrival traffic during more than twenty-five peak rush traffic periods. This
paper presents the results of these tests, describing data on FAST's impact on
airport capacity, in-trail separation on final approach, safety, and controller
workload. Results demonstrate airport throughput increases of more than 13
percent with no negative impact on controller workload or safety.
