NASA's first Air Traffic Management Technology Demonstration (ATD-1) successfully completed a nineteen-day flight test under a NASA contract with Boeing, with Honeywell and United Airlines as sub-contractors. An Interval Management (IM) avionics prototype was built based on international IM standards, integrated into two test aircraft, and then flown in real-world conditions to determine if the goals of improving aircraft efficiency and airport throughput during high-density arrival operations could be met. This paper describes the speed behavior of the IM avionics prototype, focusing on the speed command rate and the number of speed increases.
