NextGen operations in a simulated New York area airspace

• Enhancements to TAPSS tools (slot markers and timelines) can facilitate the use of RNAV OPDs without sacrificing throughput in a challenging airspace • Enhancements to TMA regarding schedule coordination to converging runways can significantly increase throughput • Next steps: - Identifying necessary parameters for automating coordinated schedules to converging runways. - Evaluating the tools in less ideal environments -e.g., convective weather, one runway operations, etc.
