The purpose of this technical workshop was to begin the process of identifying and solving human factors issues related to a new aviation concept called "free flight." The workshop looked at four key factors: o What are the human factors considerations? o What modeling and analysis effort is necessary to ensure safety? o How will the FAA and users coordinate development and accommodate evolving technologies and new requirements? o Can the separation assurance function shift between the pilot [and] controller? The workshop was envisioned as the first of a series of initiatives to help guide and manage human factors research and development (R&D) activities in support of free flight.
