Government and industry agree that a reduction in air traffic control restriction has an enormous potential for time and resource savings. This consensus is well documented in RTCA task force reports and in the National Civil Aviation Review Commission Report. They note that any activity that removes such ATC restrictions represents a move toward Free Flight. In support of Free Flight, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investing billions of dollars to provide new/enhanced capabilities through the introduction of CNS/ATM technologies into the NAS. This report provides further evidence to support the pursuit of Free Flight initiatives by extending the analysis to include associated environmental benefits. In essence, if Free Flight results in lower fuel burn by users, a corollary benefit is less pollution a clear environmental benefit that is often overlooked.
