The achievement of a regular distributed aircraft arrival rate at the TM borders and the smooth integration of different flows of traffic are the main objects of flow control in the approach area. With respect to these goals some fundamental flow control measures normally being applied in a selected near terminal area were investigated by the analysis of real traffic recordings as well as by controller interviews. The effects of certain flow control principles on the entry and exit distribution and on the further evolution of traffic within the TMA are explained. Finally it is discussed to which degree such different flow control techniques should be considered in a future computer assisted ATC system.
