The present invention replaces the use of a pilot information display method and instead relies upon an automated three dimensional aircraft tracking system using only aircraft tracking data supplied by internal spherical coverage dual mode sensor system. Separation is accurately predicted and minimum flight path separation (from all nearby aircraft) is automatically assured by signals to the aircraft flight control system without action or intervention by the pilot. When predicted separation is less than minimum separation for the host aircraft, flight control is temporarily removed from the pilot until the automated system redirects the flight path to enable the predicted separation to exceed the minimum separation for the host aircraft. When on-board sensor system predicts separation greater than required minimum, then flight control is returned to the pilot.
