The basic principles are described of the method to guide aircraft accurately down to the runway in a time-of-arrival constrained environment. The method is designed to be used in a Zone of Convergence context or in any similar advanced Air Traffic Control (ATC) system characterized by the integration of control phases over an extended area on the one hand and true computer assistance to the air traffic controller on the other, i.e., assistance provided at the decision making level through the automatic generation of guidance advisories. The method includes two closely coupled basic components, namely, a predictor, which computes a trajectory once initial conditions and plans are known, and a profile manager, which adapts the plans to meet the time constraint and generates the guidance directives on the basis of present position, actual surveillance information, aircraft operation and route constraints.
