Simulation of CTAS/FMS Air Traffic Management  (2001)

"A simulation of integrated air and ground operations was conducted to demonstrate procedures, flight management automation, data link technology, and air traffic control decision support tools for improving Air Traffic Management (ATM) efficiency. Air traffic controllers managed simulated arrival traffic using Center-TRACON Automation System (CTAS) tools. Flight crews in Flight Management System (FMS) and data link-equipped simulators were included in the arrival flows. Controller observations help understand CTAS tool use and arrival flow planning issues. Flight crew results indicate procedures developed for FMS and data link operations can work in concert with CTAS.
