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.
