Deducted Improvements

Concept and implementation Usability of the TRACC HMI

  • Higher stability of trajectories/

Less frequent adaptations

  • Increase of safety buffers
  • Less speed changes in trajectory
  • Reduced amount of curves
  • Automatic command transmission

(e.g. datalink)

DLR.de • Chart 15

Concept and Implementation Higher stability of trajectories/ Less frequent adaptations Increased safety buffers Less speed changes in trajectory Reduced amount of curves Automatic command transmission (e.g. data link) Usability of the TRACC HMI Information in flight tables optional Clearance status and remarks More information in aircraft label (e.g. last speed command) Connect corresponding information by highlighting Button to prevent disappearing of advisories Transparency of reasons for adaptions
