The study involving the STOL airplane and air traffic control is a joint NASA/FAA effort designed to examine the effects of introducing large numbers of STOL airplanes into a high-density terminal area. Simply stated, the objectives of the study are to determine the effects of the STOL airplane on the air traffic control (ATC) system and to determine the effects of the ATC system on the STOL airplane. More specifically, the study seeks to determine the airspace requirements and air traffic control equipment and handling techniques required to accommodate the STOL airplane in the ATC system and the design characteristics, avionics equipment, and flight procedures required to operate the STOL airplane in the air traffic control system.
