Abstract

This paper describes an ongoing program of real-time, interactive air traffic control simulations to test and evaluate the feasibility of conducting closely-spaced, Independent, instrument approaches to dual, triple, and quadruple parallel runways. Real-time simulations are used to test and evaluate the human, technological, and systemic issues critical to the implementation of independent multiple parallel approaches. These simulations quantitatively evaluate controller performance, pilot/aircraft performance, and airport capacity issues. Simulation data are also used in the assessment of risk associated with the operation. To address human capabilities and limitations, qualitative analyses are used to assess the opinions of controllers, flight crew members, simulation technical observers, and recognized subject matter experts. This paper describes the planning, implementation, data collection, analysis, and related issues involved in real-time simulation for the development of national standards for independent multiple parallel approaches.
