ATD-2 Team Conducts Virtual Training Session
March 22, 2018

On March 8, 2018, the NASA Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) Team conducted a virtual training session for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and American Airlines (AAL) Ramp Managers on the new features and updates to the Integrated Arrival/Departure/Surface (IADS) system, software release 3.1.1. The IADS system is deployed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and is in daily operational use in the AAL Ramp Tower and FAA ATCT during the Phase 1 Field Demonstration. The latest software features a new Surface Metering Display that enables metering by individual runways, new Data Analysis and System Health (DASH) interface, and continued expansion of data exchange and integration elements.

Human Factors Data Collection for ATD-2 Phase 1 Completed
March 22, 2018

NASA completed the third and final round of subjective human factors data collection for Phase 1 of the Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) Field Demonstration on March 4-9, 2018. Data were collected at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) American Airlines (AAL) Ramp Control, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON). CLT FAA ATCT/TRACON and AAL Ramp Control Managers and Controllers completed feedback forms during the data collection. The first set of human factors data was collected in September 2017, to gather information about baseline operations prior to the installation of ATD-2 tools in the field. The second data collection period occurred in November 2017, focusing on the impacts of ATD-2 tools in the operational environment before surface metering was introduced. In this latest data collection, users provided feedback about the impact of ATD-2 tools in the operational environment following the introduction of surface metering into the field. Human factors data collection will continue during the Phase 2 Demonstration. (POC: Lindsay Stevens)
