Aircraft Vortex Spacing System (AVOSS) Initial 1997 System Deployment at211 Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) Airport

摘要

The potential hazard of aircraft encounters with the wake turbulence of preceding211u001eaircraft requires the use of minimum separations on landing that are significant 211u001econstraint on airport arrival capcity during instrument flight rules (IFR) 211u001econditions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley 211u001eresearch Center has been researching the development of the Aircraft Vortex 211u001eSpacing System (AVOSS) which would dynamically change aircraft arrival 211u001eseparations based on the forecasted weather conditions and vortex behavior.
