Back Investigating ATC Procedures for Simultaneous Non-Interfering Flight Within the National Airspace System

Fiscal Year 2007
Division Research & Sponsored Programs
Department Modeling, Virtual Environments & Simuation Institute
Investigator(s) Sullivan, Joseph A.
Sponsor Federal Aviation Administration (Other-Fed)
Summary The proposed research program is performed in cooperation with Dr. J. Mulligan of the NASA Ames Research Center. The operating hypothesis for this research is that current ATC procedures for handling simultaneous flight operations of fixed and rotary wing aircraft are suboptimal, and that the use of burgeoning technologies such as GPS can be used to improve on the current situation in terms of air traffic volume and safety. We will experimentally relate physically validated human performance metrics in the air to performance in a simulator built specifically for this program.
