▪ CAPP appears to have benefits and is worth pursuing when there is a transition to visual separation ICAVS — Without this transition, not enough data was available to draw final conclusions on the benefits of CAPP, but controllers reported there was some benefit — Pilots used the NCT value as a goal (versus a distance to remain far away from) and set in an even lower spacing for CAVS. Having a target spacing goal will be particularly important to realize the benefits of reduced spacing The lowest ceiling examined in the simulation gave little time to gain the benefit of additional closure during CAVS The CAPP aircraft appeared to be able to get closer to the TTF with a lower NCT value and / or more time for CAVS (i.e., higher ceiling) ▪ The lowest ceiling examined in the simulation gave little time to gain the benefit of additional closure during CAYS — The CAPP aircraft appeared to be able to get closer to the TTF with a lower NCT value and / or more time for CAVS (i.e., higher ceiling).
