This was phase 3 of an ongoing effort to evaluate plans for increasing air traffic capacity in the Dallas/Fort Worth (D/FW) area. The objective was to evaluate the traffic handling ability of controllers during Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) for D/FW's proposed quadruple parallel approach airport configuration using a real time air traffic control (ATC) simulation. Both dual and quadruple simultaneous parallel Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches were simulated with controllers monitoring approach traffic. Blunders were introduced by having simulated aircraft deviate toward adjacent localizers. Some of the blundering aircraft also simulated a loss of radio communication. The ability of the controllers to maintain distance between blundering aircraft and aircraft in parallel approaches was the central issue. Also, a few runs evaluated the missed approach procedures with the controllers monitoring the departing and missed approach aircraft. Based upon the findings of the simulation, it was concluded that the quadruple simultaneous parallel ILS approach procedures are safe and workable for the airport configuration tested. Therefore, the operations at D/FW were recommended.
