Intermittent positive control is a totally automatic ground-based collision avoidance capability which, by issuing collision avoidance commands to aircraft on an 'as needed' basis and by continuously providing pilots with information on the location of nearby aircraft, provides increased safety in mixed and uncontrolled airspace for both IFR and VFR aircraft, while maintaining the freedom of action associated with VFR flight. This document describes intermittent positive control and explains how it works.
