A Government Total ATC System Concept 700293

This paper reports the recommendations of the Air Traffic Control Advisory Committee for improving air traffic control into the 1990s. The recommended program has three objectives: increase airport capacity to satisfy the demand in the 1975-1980 period and beyond, provide en route and terminal airspace capacity adequate for the traffic of the 1980s, and determine the ingredients of a fourth generation air traffic control system for the post 1990 period. Details of the steps necessary to achieve these objectives are supplied, along with cost and duration estimates.
