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.
