Kapitel 4.1 Ground-based Advisory Systems

Abstract

The main objective of a Ground-Based Advisory Systems is to punctually or permanently reduce landing and departure wake turbulence separations and, therefore, to increase the runway throughput in such a way that it safely absorbs arrival demand peaks and/or reduces departure delays without jeopardizing flights safety. The Ground-Based Advisory System will be able to deliver in real time, the position and strength of the wake vortices, predict their behaviour, monitor the air traffic situation with regard to the hazard of wake encounters and possibly alert ATC controllers in case the flight safety is, or is predicted to be affected.
