Integration of Flight Management and Air Traffic Management Systems

Abstract

GARTEUR Action Group FM(AG) 03 was set up in late 1984 to consider how airborne Flight Management Systems and the equivalent ground based Air Traffic Management System could work together to form a genuine Integrated ATM System. A particular problem was how best to utilise the airborne precision 4 dimensional navigation capability that was moving from the experimental realm to airline adoption. The resulting concept of a computer based strategic ATM system utilising 4D trajectories with defined tolerances has become known as the GARTEUR 4D Tubes in Space Concept. These concepts were developed through a series of publications and have proved to be very influential in shaping the thinking of groups such as the ICAO FANS Committee and the PHARE European experimental ATM programme. This final report describes the Group's activities and concludes with recommendations for the work of a successor group. Keywords: Integrated air traffic management, Great Britain.
