At the request of the Director, Southwest Region, the Technical Center conducted a series of dynamic, real-time, air traffic control simulations of selected aspects of the D/FW Metroplex Air Traffic System Plan. Using D/FW controllers as subjects, the simulations provided an opportunity to evaluate proposed changes in area flow patterns and traffic management and to experience simultaneous approaches to the four parallel runway configuration under consideration for D/FW. The results of these simulations demonstrated that, even when faced with up to twice their normal traffic load, the controllers could maintain a smooth and safe flow of traffic using the new configurations proposed for the D/FW area. The D/FW Evaluation Team declared that the parallel arrival routes, separate altitudes for high performance turboprops, increased departure routes, and stratified sectors all proved to be valuable controller tools. In addition, simulation of the four simultaneous parallel approaches led the Evaluation Team to enthusiastically endorse the concept of four simultaneous approaches to the D/FW airport and to affirm that in each and every case the concept proved to be safe even though frequently challenged by the unlikely conditions of 30 degree blunders without communications.
