AIRCRAFT TURNS FOR INTERVAL MANAGEMENT

A method and apparatus of turning an aircraft for interval management. Interval management information identifying a desired spacing between the aircraft and a target aircraft is received. Turn information is determined using a performance gain factor. The turn information identifies a turn point for the aircraft. The performance gain factor identifies a desired portion of achieving the desired spacing due to turning the aircraft at the turn point and a desired portion of achieving the desired spacing due to changing speed of the aircraft. The turn information is used to turn the aircraft at the turn point. 本申请涉及用于间隔管理的飞行器转向。具体地，涉及使飞行器转向以进行间隔管理的方法和装置。接收标识所述飞行器与目标飞行器之间的希望间距的间隔管理信息。利用性能增益因子来确定转向信息。所述转向信息标识针对所述飞行器的转向点。所述性能增益因子标识如下各项：因使所述飞行器在所述转向点转向而实现所述希望间距的希望部分；和因改变所述飞行器的速度而实现所述希望间距的希望部分。所述转向信息用于使所述飞行器在所述转向点处转向。
