Field Test of Interval Management Spacing during an Optimized Profile Descent Arrival and Approach

Abstract

Interval Management-Spacing (IM-S) is a concept enabled by Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) technology. It consists of ground and flight deck-based capabilities and procedures designed to enable aircraft to achieve and maintain spacing relative to each other.IM-S delegates the spacing task to the flight deck and enables flight crews to follow speed guidance generated by avionics to achieve and/or maintain spacing relative to a Target Aircraft. IM-S increases throughput in capacity constrained airspace by spacing aircraft closer togethermore consistently than is otherwise possible.
