Flow control measures applied in a selected local traffic area were investigated by the analysis of real traffic recordings as well as from controller interviews. The internal procedures consist of variable control of the individual aircraft within the approach control terminal maneuvering area (TMA), i.e., the local approach phase. Flight profiles of shorter or longer duration are prescribed in order either to accelerate or retard respectively, the approach flight of aircraft within this region. The external control procedures of the approach controllers takes into account entry rates at the sector control. The retardation of traffic outside the approach control TMA is largely achieved through holding procedures. The acceleration of individual flights is possible through the direction of traffic onto shorter routes. The degree to which the various flow control techniques should be considered in a future computer assisted air traffic conrol system is discussed.
