Federal Aviation Administration, Office of System Capacity and Requirements. Near Term Capacity Initiatives

The capacity initiatives contained herein offer near-term solutions toward improving the nations aviation system capacity. Based on the application and refinement of new systems and procedures, these initiatives promise an increase in capacity with relatively little financial investment or systems development. Users can look forward to receiving benefits from these procedures within the next year without the requirement for extensive certification of new airborne and ground-based systems. Two terms which are used in describing some of the procedures need clarification. They are independent and dependent procedures. Independent procedures are so called because aircraft arriving along one flight path do not affect arrivals along another flight path. Dependent procedures place restrictions between the various arrival streams of aircraft, because their proximity to each other has the potential for some interference. This pamphlet offers the reader a description of near-term capacity initiatives, their intended purpose, an indication of which airports may benefit, and the target implementation dates.
