Solution PJ.02-01 — Wake Turbulence Separation Optimization

PJ02-01 Solution aims to optimize wake turbulence separation minima for arrivals and departures to enhance airport runway throughput. It focuses on development of:
- wake separations reductions based on weather and static aircraft characteristics;
- separation delivery support tool for ATCOs;
- wake risk monitoring function (ground and airborne);
- wake vortex decay enhancing devices.
