In an earlier paper, the writer attempted a quantitative study of a flow-planning system for aircraft intending to fly across Europe. This paper aims to offer each aircraft a clearance giving a reasonable expectation that, throughout cruising flight at least, there will be no conflict with other traffic. Such a clearance is sometimes termed a ‘tube of flight’. Reference i assumed a pattern of traffic flying along rhumb lines, each flight having a starting position chosen at random in a region roughly the size of Europe. Flight was in a random direction and the flight path length was chosen at random from a plausible distribution.

“…It is claimed that, with computer assistance, this latter task can be performed to an accuracy of a few seconds. 8 The principal tool used by approach control is some form of path-stretching manoeuvre. It may be possible to apply similar methods to outbound traffic.…”

“…The paper assumes that plans for a cruising trajectory are submitted, for flights originating in the European region, 10 minutes, say, before the planned time of departure and that, post departure, the time at which the aircraft joins a planned trajectory at cruising level can be accurately predicted. The mechanism which plans climb to cruising level is outside the scope of this paper, but Benoit 6 has demonstrated the possibility of achieving a good approximation to this ideal.…”

At the present day European ATC is exercised by a multiplicity of more-or-less autonomous control centres. ‘Flow Regulation’ is used roughly to match traffic demand to the capacity of the en-route ATC and of the destination airport. The ATC authority at the point of departure for a remote destination cannot however give any guarantee that the pilot will be able to follow his chosen trajectory. The filed flight plan and the departure clearance have been described as a ‘licence to get into the sky and see what happens’.
