A terminal area control concept based on 4D RNAV (3D plus time) has been developed to take full advantage of STOL aircrafts' unique performance capabilities. The 4D RNAV concept involves an airborne system, a ground system and a protocol for information exchange between aircraft and ground. The function of the airborne system is to synthesize the curved three dimensional (3D) flight path, to predict and control the landing time (4D) and to generate flight director or autopilot commands. The airborne system assumes the ground system will specify the 3D path and assign a conflict-free landing time. A real time simulation of this concept has been developed to evaluate its effectiveness for terminal areas control of STOL aicraft. Key elements of the simulation are a computer graphics traffic display, a scheduling display and a keyboard language for issuing controller commands to simulated aircraft. Initial results and planned experiments are described.
