The development of a mission simulator for use in the Terminal Configured Vehicle (TCV) program is outlined. The broad objectives of the TCV program are to evaluate new concepts in airborne systems and in operational flight procedures. These evaluations are directed toward improving terminal area capacity and efficiency, improving approach and landing capability in adverse weather, and reducing noise impact in the terminal area. A description is given of the design features and operating principles of the two major components of the TCV Mission Simulator: the TCV Aft Flight Deck Simulation and the Terminal Area Air Traffic Model Simulation, and their merger to form the TCV Mission Simulator. The first research study conducted in the Mission Simulator is presented along with some preliminary results.
