Abstract:
An individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance, wherein:(a) an air-traffic control system divides the approach control area automatically into a group of micro air spaces;(b) the air-traffic control system establishes flight rules within said micro air spaces in order to guide aircraft by establishing no-fly air space;(c) the air-traffic control system, at such time as a change has occurred in weather conditions or other data within the approach control area, establishes in real time in said micro air spaces flight rules, estimated time of landing of the aircraft, estimated time when the aircraft will leave the approach control area and other data in such a manner as to reflect those details;(d) the air-traffic control system transmits said flight rules automatically to the system of a given aircraft when the aircraft reaches a position which corresponds to said micro air spaces; and(e) the air-traffic control system guides the aircraft in question in accordance with said flight rules which it has transmitted to the system of the aircraft.
