A method is provided. The method comprises: identifying a vehicle; providing, to a remote processing system, an interval between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle; providing, to the remote processing system, the preceding vehicle identifier; obtaining, on the remote processing system, a location and a direction of the vehicle; obtaining, on the remote processing system, a location and a direction of the preceding vehicle; determining, on the remote processing system, a speed of the vehicle necessary to maintain the interval; and providing, to the vehicle from the remote processing system, the speed of vehicle necessary to maintain the interval.

System and method for virtual flight interval management

Technologically improved Flight Deck Interval Management Paired Approach (FIMPA) system and methods are provided that provide safe speed guidance to a trail aircraft. The FIMPA system comprises a processor operatively coupled to a memory and a database of aircraft-specific parameters. The processor is configured to: receive instantaneous target traffic state data; receive instantaneous state data of a trail aircraft; process the state data, target traffic state data, and aircraft-specific parameters to determine a safe speed zone to perform paired approach, and a recommended speed; render, on a cockpit display, a paired approach bar (PAB) with indicators for (i) a current location of the target traffic, (ii) a current trail aircraft speed, and (iii) the recommended speed; and wherein the indicators are separate and visually distinguishable from each other; determine a wake risk area; and render the wake risk area in a visually distinguishable manner on the PAB.
