CENTRAL ALTITUDE RESERVATION FACILITY (CARF) ACTIVITY FORECAST, 1962-67

Abstract

Forecasts of Altitude Reservations processed by the Central Altitude Reservation Facility (CARF) located at Kansas City, Missouri are reported. Altitude reservations are used primarily by the military services for the mass movement of air craft, or for special requirements which can not be met satisfactorily without altitude reservations. CARF processes altitude reservation re quests by coordinating between the military services, Air Route Traffic Control Centers, and foreign air traffic centers as applicable. CARF detects any conflicts between the requested path of flight and any other enroute aircraft that might be encountered. CARF notifies the parties involved in the conflict and resolves it by changing the time, altitude, fix, or cancelling the mission. The basic objective of this study was to evaluate present and future altitude reservation activity in support of an automation feasibility study of CARF.
