• Abstract:
  The concept of free flight is intended to provide increased flexibility and efficiency throughout the global airspace system. This idea ; could potentially shift aircraft separation responsibility from air traffic controllers to flight crews creating a ‘shared-separation’ ; authority environment. A real-time, human-in-the-loop study was conducted using facilities at NASA Ames Research Center and the ; FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center. The goal was to collect data from controllers and pilots on shared-separation procedures, ; information requirements, workload, and situation awareness. The experiment consisted of four conditions that varied levels of ; controller and flight crew separation responsibilities. Twelve controllers and six pilots were provided with enhanced traffic and ; conflict alerting systems. Results indicated that while safety was not compromised, pilots and controllers had differing opinions ; regarding the application of these new tools and the feasibility of the operational concept. This limited investigation demonstrated the ; need to further explore the shared-separation concept.
