NASA-Developed Air Traffic Management Tool Flies Into Use (NASA - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration)

(Source: NASA - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) NASA Future Flight Central is a national Air Traffic Control/Air Traffic Management (ATC/ATM) simulation facility. The two-story facility offers a 360-degree full-scale, real-time simulation of an airport, where controllers, pilots and airport personnel participate to optimize expansion plans, operating procedures, and evaluate new technologies. A new software tool developed by NASA, and being deployed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is positioned to help air traffic controllers manage the nation's skies. The software, called Terminal Sequencing and Spacing (previously called TSS, now TSAS), will help air...
