COMPUTER PROGRAMMING OF PHASE I MASTER PROGRAM. VOLUME 1

Abstract

The master program for Phase I flight data processing was developed to provide the maximum benefits for the Phase I systems. It permits the computer to accept and process six different kinds of messages, thus providing the system with the capability of processing semiautomatically any flight plan message received in the prescribed format. The resultant output of the program provides the Air Route Traffic Control Center with printed flight progress strips and the automatic transmission of flight plan estimates to other computer-equipped centers. The outputs are time-controlled by the use of a real-time digital computer clock. The program is capable of handling airway routes and four types of direct routes, and will accept modification messages reflecting data or route changes. In addition, provisions are made for the integration of a controller update program to implement the controller updating equipment.
