The Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST) is a decision support tool for terminal area (TRACON) air traffic controllers. FAST utilizes 4D trajectory synthesis, human performance modeling, and a graphical user interface to plan and advise efficient, conflict-free aircraft trajectories for arrival traffic. It increases airport capacity, reduces arrival delays, and reduces controller workload by issuing: sequence and runway advisories ("Passive" FAST) and speed and heading advisories ("Active" FAST). This paper discusses in detail the architecture of the system and operational tests done on the system.
