parameters, each aircraft will be assigned a "protected" zone that will extend ahead, to the sides and above and below the aircraft. This zone will be the only separation area protected for each aircraft. This differs from the current system that assigns fixed airway dimensions and routes for separation.Assuming that each aircraft is equipped with an accurate flight management system (FMS), free flight proposes that each aircraft transmit to ground controllers its FMS- derived position. On the ground, computer workstations will evaluate the positional data to determine whether any aircraft conflicts are predicted to exist, and if so, offer a resolution instruction to the air traffic controller. The controller may then evaluate this information and pass along appropriate separation instructions to the aircraft involved.The free flight concept is still being developed, but if found feasible will soon be implemented at higher altitudes within the U.S. airspace structure. As confidence in the system is gained, it will likely be extended overseas and into the low-altitude flight structure.
