Development of Fast-Time Simulation Techniques to Model Safety Issues in the National Airspace System

This report is the final report of a project which investigated and developed techniques for enabling the National Airspace System (NAS) fast-time simulation modeling to be of value in conducting safety analyses. The report first discusses the role of fast-time simulation in aviation safety analysis. A clear-air turbulence scenario and the experimental design upon which the demonstration is focused is then described. The report describes the modeling approach and assumptions for demonstrating the linkage of a MIDAS-based human performance model with a RFS-based en route traffic operations simulation model. The flight crew and controller procedures involved in the en route CAT scenario are described. The report concludes with observations and suggestions for potential areas of future research and development.
