Abstract :
• A HITL simulation was conducted that examined the application of NextGen tools to arrival operations at EWR • A key enabler of observed improvements was the actions performed by the Arrival Planner in manually creating a de-conflicted arrival schedule to intersecting runways • Manual adjustments performed by Arrival Planner intended to be automated within TMA • Insights gained into the strategies and considerations of the Arrival Planner — Timing and Location of adjustment — Coordination — Inter-arrival Spacing • Results of de-conflicted schedule: — Reduced vectoring on final to runway 11 — More predictable and uniform delivery — Fewer go-around violations
