Adsystech Employee Co-Authors Key Technical Aviation Report

Hampton, VA June, 2000 — Thomas M. Doyle, Adsystech Site Coordinator and Air Traffic Control consultant at NASA-Langley Research Center, recently teamed with representatives from Lockheed Martin and NASA-Langley to co-author a comprehensive report of the Adsystech/NASA team's findings in the area of air traffic control (ATC) system capacity improvements. The report, "An Analysis of the Role of ATC in the AILS Concept", was published by NASA in April and presents the results of the team's analysis of one method for increasing the number of aircraft that can be safely handled at airports with two or more parallel runways. "AILS" stands for Airborne Information for Lateral Spacing, a concept for enhancing airport capacity by allowing aircraft to conduct approaches to closely-spaced parallel runways in inclement weather conditions. Anticipated growth in aviation operations threaten to increase the amount of system delays and overcrowding at major airports in the National Airspace System; therefore, methods such as AILS are critically needed to answer burgeoning traffic demands. Tom's expert support to FAA and NASA has proved to be of significant value in the jointly sponsored effort aimed at developing improved systems to serve the country's commercial aviation needs.
