The Parallel-route System for North Atlantic Subsonic Jet Traffic

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 January 2010

Extract

In the first of this series of papers, the general principles of costing the effect of air traffic control deviation were discussed. This paper discusses the application of these principles to a model route structure for North Atlantic subsonic jet traffic. It is shown how the, design of an optimum system is related to cost considerations and how the cost depends on variations in traffic intensity and on the level of separation standards in all three dimensions. The work on which the paper is based was carried out at the Royal Aircraft Establishment.
