Flight Experiment Investigation of General Aviation Self-Separation and Sequencing Tasks

AUTHOR Administration (Nasa), National Aeronaut
PUBLISHER Independently Published (08/21/2020)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
A new flight operations concept called Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) Higher Volume Operations (HVO) was developed to increase capacity during Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) at non-towered, non-radar airports by enabling concurrent operations of multiple aircraft. One aspect of this concept involves having pilots safely self-separate from other aircraft during approaches into these airports using appropriate SATS HVO procedures. A flight experiment was conducted to determine if instrument-rated general aviation (GA) pilots could self-separate and sequence their ownship aircraft, while following a simulated aircraft, into a non-towered, non-radar airport during simulated IMC. Six GA pilots' workload levels and abilities to perform self-separation and sequencing procedures while flying a global positioning system (GPS) instrument approach procedure were examined. The results showed that the evaluation pilots maintained at least the minimum specified separation between their ownship aircraft and simulated traffic and maintained their assigned landing sequence 100-percent of the time. Neither flight path deviations nor subjective workload assessments were negatively impacted by the additional tasks of self-separating and sequencing during these instrument approaches. Murdoch, Jennifer L. and Ramiscal, Ermin R. and McNabb, Jennifer L. and Bussink, Frank J. L. Langley Research Center NASA/TP-2005-213539, L-19101 23-786-10-10
