To examine a new concept called CAPP, a Human-in-the-Loop simulation was conducted. In CAPP, the flight crew made spacing and speed judgments using information provided on traffic displays to stay at or outside of a spacing value issued by the controller.

In order to examine a new concept called Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) Assisted Pilot Procedure (CAPP), a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation was conducted for both air traffic controllers and flight crews. In CAPP, the flight crew's task was to make spacing judgments and manage speed using information provided on the traffic displays to stay at or outside of a spacing value issued by the controller. The general purpose of the simulation was to determine the feasibility and operational acceptability of CAPP. Overall, the results support the hypotheses of controller and pilot acceptability of, and ability to conduct, CAPP.
