Summary The article presents a study conducted at EUROCONTROL which investigates the limited delegation of separation assurance to the pilot. Firstly, a problem analysis is proposed based upon a new dimension — the notion of “level of delegation”. Secondly, the principles of the concept are presented, and the main issues arising are discussed. Finally, the main results of the initial evaluation are presented. The overall feeling can be summarised by “promising with a great potential”: controller availability could be increased. In addition, the notion of “flexible use of delegation”, which enables the controller to select the appropriate task to be delegated to the pilot, would enable gradual growth of confidence in the method. This notion would also provide flexibility to use the method under different traffic conditions, airspace constraints, and controller’s practice level.
