Report of the FAA Task Force on Aircraft Separation Assurance. Volume III. Appendices,

Abstract

A task force has developed FAA Engineering and Development consensus on the integrated aircraft separation assurance system for the National Airspace System. This report details a study of system errors, mid-airs, and near mid-airs, and altitude deviations to define the problem. The system element requirements are defined to provide two levels of backup to the ATC system: a separation violation warning and a final fail safe collision advisory and resolution function. The current FAA ASA development programs are discussed and the changes are detailed which are required to transition to an integrated ASA system. This report consists of three volumes. Volume I is the Executive Summary with an overview of the work performed by the Task Force. Volume II is the detailed main concept description delineating the required systems and interfaces. Volume III includes appendices, referred to in the main report, which define in detail the specific interfaces and designs required for system integration. (Author)
