Abstract
The basic parameters leading to aircraft navigational error are combined statistically and are used to evaluate the uncorrected deviation (wander) to be expected in both subsonic and supersonic transport aircraft operating in a typical trans-oceanic environment. The size of the across-track and along-track wander before any form of corrective control is applied indicates the physical size of the A.T.C. block of airspace necessary to contain the aircraft. The variation of block size with the forward prediction period used by A.T.C. is presented graphically. The effect of improvement in the basic sources of error is demonstrated and it is seen that for the S.S.T. era attention must be turned to effecting improvements in aircraft heading and airspeed holding capabilities.
