An ad-hoc simulation model of direct routings in European airspace was used to investigate the frequency of loss of horizontal separation, and to compare methods of flight level allocation to maximize vertical separation. The model demonstrates that, using a pre-defined flight level allocation by heading, one controller, using modern data link and display facilities could provide 'radar separation' for up to twice the present traffic density. Using 'co-ordination' with the existing traffic, a virtually conflict-free direct routing system could be provided for the foreseeable future. The implications of these findings are briefly considered.
