Supporting Trajectory Based Operations in Aerodrome Control: Supporting the Timing of the Take-off Clearance

The introduction of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is set to change the operation on all levels of Air Traffic Control (ATC), including aerodrome control. Here, adherence to a planned four-dimensional trajectory is important to achieve a stable operation. At the same time, this concept provides possibilities for support tools to be used in...

Effects of Wind and Trajectory Uncertainty in a 4D Trajectory Management Interface: Bringing 4D Air Traffic Control Closer To Reality

As a result of the current evolution in the ATM system, a fundamental shift in the ATC work domain is foreseen from ad-hoc tactical to more strategic, 4D (i.e., space and time) trajectory management. Both the SESAR programme in Europe<br/>and the NextGen programme in the US envision a central role for the human operator, to be aided by high...
