Abstract:This paper documents portions of a study that examined current flight deck human factors issues associated with Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) departure procedures (DPs), with a focus on issues relevant to a proposed Air Traffic Control (ATC) operational concept called Multiple Airport Route Separation (MARS). MARS aims to improve the flow of air traffic to and from nearby busy airports by reducing the separation between aircraft flying along specially approved pairs of PBN instrument flight procedures (IFPs). As long as both aircraft stay on their cleared IFPs, ATC can be confident that they will remain procedurally separated. However, past research on PBN IFPs has shown that they may add complexity to pilot tasks, potentially increasing the risk of flightpath deviations.
