Overview
|
This MITRE developed, Converging Runway Display
Tool (CRDA), is an automation aid for air traffic
controllers that allows users to precisely establish
and maintain a stagger distance between two aircraft
approaching on different runways. The basic function
of CRDA is to project position information of an aircraft
approaching one runway onto the final approach course
of the other runway of the pair (known as "ghost"
targets). The capability of CRDA to enable the controller
to make better judgments about spatial relationships
between aircraft that are approaching converging or
intersecting runways has been adequately proved in
operational use.
