Situation Awareness, Automation & Free Flight Some critical aspects of free flight were examined: the use of direct routes, the ability of pilots to deviate from flight plans of their own accord, and the requirement to inform controllers of pilot intentions in making such deviations. It does however indicate that if controllers are expected to act as passive monitors of free flight air traffic, their awareness of the state of air traffic may be reduced, their workload may increase, and their ability to intervene in a timely manner may be limited. It did not investigate SA of pilots who would be operating under free flight, and did not investigate potential for separation problems which would also be a function of the technologies and displays which might be provided to both pilots and controllers in the future. atm-seminar-97.eurocontrol.fr /endsley.htm   (3056 words)

Wired 4.04: Free Flight Though free flight restores to pilots some of the same freedom to choose routes, altitudes, and speeds that aviators enjoyed before the advent of air traffic control in the mid 1930s, what drives it is not some romantic notion of airborne adventure, but economics. It's not surprising that free flight's strongest advocates are the nation's major air carriers, which maintain that free flight would enable the industry to recoup a significant portion of the US$3.5 billion it claims to lose each year because of limitations in the current air traffic control system. Under free flight, many tasks now carried out by air traffic controllers will be automated, and some of the authority that controllers possess will be shifted to pilots. www.wired.com /wired/archive/4.04/es.faa.html   (788 words)

I, Cringely . July 22, 1999 - Free Flight PBS Technology is moving so swiftly, in fact, that it is even surprising me.
