On final approach, an approach controller is responsible for separating aircraft lining up on the instrument landing system. In an attempt to increase traffic throughput, especially in strong headwind conditions, European regulation advises all European airports to move from distance-based to time-based separation. This effectively changes the controller’s task from a distance-based to a time-based problem. Further complications arise because of the European recategorization of aircraft types initiative, and experts fear that the gains foreseen with time-based separation will not be realized. This paper presents a visual tool integrated into the radar screen to assist controllers in performing time-based separation, the ideal turn-in point (ITIP) display. To assist controllers in selecting optimal approach strategies, starting from the moment aircraft enter the terminal control area, the display shows the possibilities and restrictions in the system rather than giving (restricting) advisories. A proof-of-concept experiment was performed with people knowledgeable in air traffic control (N = 8) and compared the ITIP to a current industry state-of-the-art display designed by U.K.’s National Air Traffic Services in scenarios of varying difficulty. Results show that with the ITIP tool, efficiency improved with similar or higher levels of safety and similar or lower workload. These promising results justify testing the interface with professional air traffic controllers. Future work aims at reducing clutter, increasing simulation fidelity, and increasing the level of support in complex traffic situations.
