Design and Evaluation of a novel holding stack management tool

Before an aircraft enters the Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) a delay may need to be introduced due to capacity limits. An Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) has the opportunity to introduce a holding procedure. When multiple aircraft need to be delayed in this form a holding stack may be formed. This holding stack is formed above the Initial...

Design and Evaluation of a Visual Interface for Separation Support in Time-Based Approach Air Traffic Control

On final approach, an Approach (APP) Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) is responsible for keeping sufficient separation between aircraft lining up on the ILS. The current industry standard is to separate these aircraft with a minimum distance, called Distance-Based Separation or DBS. European regulation requires all European airports to implement...
