Recommended Short-Term ATC Improvements for Helicopters. Volume I. Summary of Short-Term Improvements

摘要

A summary report is made of all improvements studied. Improvements are categorized as to those that can be recommended for immediate operational consideration or use and those that require limited short term simulation or test. The recommendations for immediate use include: (1) Helicopter ATC training material, (2) Operational Description of Loran Offshore Flight Following (LOFF), (3) Recommendations concerning military training routes and (4) Survey data for use in Gulf communications and route structure planning. The recommendations for short term simulation include: (1) Dual waypoint holding patterns, (2) other holding patterns and (3) shortened entry procedures for intercepting final approach path.
