In 2007, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), under the coordination of the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO), created a Research Transition Team (RTT) to help refine the Flow Based Trajectory Management (FBTM) concept. The primary technical challenge in implementing FBTM is developing an efficient process for managing trajectories of in-flight aircraft in a planning horizon that extends beyond the controllers field-of-view. As part of this effort, researchers at NASA's Ames Research Center began conducting work in collaboration with the FAA's NextGen Office with funding from both agencies. Specifically, the researchers implemented two major human-in-the-loop simulations, which simulated operations at FAA en route centers with participation by air traffic controllers, traffic managers, and supervisors. Results showed that the FBTM is not only feasible, but it is also useful and beneficial. Most notably, it can support NextGen initiatives toward perspective best-equipped, best-served operations that would create incentives for operators to equip their aircraft to take advantage of NextGen capabilities.
