In the Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) Implementation Program a limited deployment of the core capabilities of several decision support systems will be evaluated at a number of operational sites. One component is the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET). URET will be implemented at seven Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) as part of FFP1. This document presents a detailed description of the URET benefits. Summaries of studies show the benefits in each of three areas: safety, FAA productivity, and airspace user cost savings. The plan for benefits measurement during FFP1 is also discussed. A URET prototype is currently being used daily at the Indianapolis and Memphis ARTCCs. Much of what is described in this report comes from the operational use of the prototype at these centers.
