Flight Deck Display of Airborne Traffic Wake Vortices
نویسنده
چکیده
A flight deck display that allows the pilot to “see” the neighboring aircraft, as well as its wake, may allow for a decrease in spacing and an increase in airport and airspace capacity, while maintaining safe separation distances from wake vortices. This research evaluates a model based on aircraft parameters that are readily available in flight to predict aircraft wake vortices in real time. Using this model, a number of graphical representations of wake symbology were created for use in a 3-D perspective view flight deck display. This research determines the feasibility of this method of wake vortex display and ascertains the most favorable symbology for use in flight deck operations.

A Flight Deck Decision Support Tool for Autonomous Airborne Operations
NASA is developing a flight deck decision support tool to support research into autonomous operations in a future distributed air/ground traffic management environment. This interactive real-time decision aid, referred to as the Autonomous Operations Planner (AOP), will enable the flight crew to plan autonomously in the presence of dense traffic and complex flight management constraints. In ass...

In a Free Flight Environment, safe –separations are delegated to the pilot by the Air Traffic Control. An adoption of a Free Flight Environment is considered vital as air traffic is predicted to double over the next two decades. Transitioning from the current Controlled Airspace to Free Flight Environment involves number of changes. A pilot role is to change to airspace and decision manager. Pi...
