Operational and Functional Description of AERA 1.01,

Abstract

The AERA 1.01 functions, to be implemented as part of the Advanced Automation System for en route air traffic control, consist of: Trajectory Estimation; Flight Plan Conflict Probe; Airspace Probe; and Sector Workload Probe. This document presents a high-level operational and functional description of these four advanced automation functions. The operational description discusses the effects of the advanced automation functions on the controller: what information must be provided to the functions, what information is received from the function, which controller receives that information, and what the controller's response should be. The effect of these functions on the structure of the controller's job, such as training and staffing requirements, is also discussed. The functional description presents the logical organization of the advanced automation functions, including the role of each function and the interfaces between functions. (Author)
