The Air Traffic Capacity of Two-Dimensional Airspace
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2009
Extract
At the present day European ATC is exercised by a multiplicity of more-or-less autonomous control centres. ‘Flow Regulation’ is used roughly to match traffic demand to the capacity of the en-route ATC and of the destination airport. The ATC authority at the point of departure for a remote destination cannot however give any guarantee that the pilot will be able to follow his chosen trajectory. The filed flight plan and the departure clearance have been described as a ‘licence to get into the sky and see what happens’.
