Special Case

Because of the greater speed of modern aircraft and the increasing complexity of air-traffic systems, air navigation is changing and breaking away more surely from its marine counterpart. This divergence means that navigational equipment designed for marine navigation is becoming less and less suitable for use in the air, and the special needs of air navigation are slowly gaining recognition. This paper concerns air navigation charts; its aim is to show the shortcomings of the charts at present in use, and to suggest a specification for a new style of chart that will meet modern requirements.At the beginning it is well to define exactly what is meant by the word ‘Chart’. In I.C.A.O. terminology it is widely defined and includes amongst other things maps; but maps are a special case and their use is limited to visual flight. In this paper, therefore, the word is used in its older sense of a sheet upon which the actual navigation is performed.

Traffic Systems

There is a real possibility that the air traffic control system in the United States will change radically in the next decade. One vision–“free flight” or “free routing”–is to move most of the responsibility for navigation and separation back to the cockpit and away from ground based air traffic systems. The basic notion of free flight is that each flight would be completely determined by the user, i.e. by some form of airline/pilot combination, and would not need to follow pre-defined airways or altitudes. The airlines would inform the air traffic system of each aircraft's intentions, but would not have to seek any prior air traffic approval. The job of the air traffic system would be to meet the user's requirements, but not to suggest what those requirements should be. However, the air traffic system would be expected to collaborate with the airlines to ensure the safe passage of flights and to intervene when aircraft separation requirements are jeopardized or violated. Such a system would bring with it dramatic changes in the roles of all the human members of the aviation system, and as such, would have significant human factors impacts. The goal of this panel will be to identify and discuss some of those issues.

This paper was first published in Volume 19, p. 88, in 1966. Parts II and III were included in following issues of the Journal. The paper is Crown Copyright and is reproduced with the permission of H.M. Stationery Office. It is followed by comments from Stanley Ratcliffe.The main task of air traffic controllers is to plan traffic flows so that aircraft are allotted sufficient separation to absorb not only systematic differences in speed but also the imperfections of navigation and piloting, which we term flying errors. To this end, they usually work with three separation standards, to be applied in, respectively, the along-track, across-track and vertical dimensions of space. The separation standard for any one dimension is the minimum intended (i.e. planned) separation permitted in that dimension when the intended separations are less than standard in the other two. The problem is to choose standards which are safe enough, but not so large as to lead to unnecessary traffic delays and deviations.
