Abstract :
With rapid growth in air traffic, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been under considerable pressure to increase the capacity of the National Airspace System. One of the FAA´s solutions is to provide air traffic controllers with automation tools designed to increase their efficiency. Using experience with the Free Flight Program as a case study, this paper explores some of the challenges and successes with implementing new air traffic control automation tools.
