Abstract

This is the concluding part of a series of three papers for this Journal, documenting the European studies into the feasibility of 1000 ft vertical separation minima above FL290. This paper outlines the results from European data collections other than the main precision radar data collection and expands upon the factors affecting height-keeping performance. The development of a Minimum Altimetry System Performance Specification (MASPS), necessary for a reduced vertical separation minimum above FL29O, is presented. A number of implementation issues, in particular monitoring, are also discussed.

The contents of this paper reflect the views of the authors; they do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the NLR, CAA or EUROCONTROL.
