Individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area

Abstract

An individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance which, by supplying the pilot with the required flight data automatically in units of micro air spaces, permits safe and accurate flight with little scope for human error, being an individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance wherein the air-traffic control system divides the approach control area automatically into a group of micro air spaces, and establishes flight rules within the micro air spaces in order to guide aircraft by establishing no-fly air spaces. Then, at such time as a change has occurred in weather conditions or other data within the approach control area, it establishes in real time in the micro air spaces flight rules, estimated time of landing of the aircraft, estimated time when the aircraft will leave the approach control area and other data in such a manner as to reflect those details, and transmits the flight rules automatically to the system of a given aircraft when the aircraft reaches a position which corresponds to the micro air spaces. The air-traffic control system guides the aircraft in question in accordance with the flight rules which it has transmitted to the system of the aircraft, and the pilot pilots the aircraft.
