DANS awards IBG an Arrival Spacing Decision Support Tool Study project
Dubai Air Navigation Services have awarded Independent Business Group the contract “For The Provision of an Arrival Spacing Decision Support Tool Study”.
The purpose of this project is for Independent to study the feasibility and options of the development of an arrival spacing decision support tool capable of assisting Dubai Air Traffic Controllers to achieve the continuous minimum spacing required on final, across all modes of operation.
It is envisioned that this tool will provide a visual reference to controllers, which will be capable of determining the minimum in trail separation required, always considering the wake category of the preceding aircraft, as well as the relevant minimum spacing as dictated by the current mode of operation in effect at the time.
