  • Methods and systems for determining required interval management performance (RIMP)
    Patent number: 8577587
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method of characterizing an airborne spacing operation. The method includes determining, using a computer, a spacing tolerance based on a performance objective for the airborne spacing operation, determining, using a computer, a minimum state data performance level and a minimum speed performance level based on the spacing tolerance, and providing, using a computer, a required interval management performance (RIMP) category for the airborne spacing operation, the RIMP category specifying the spacing tolerance, the minimum state data performance level, and the minimum speed performance level.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013

  • Method and systems for determining required interval management performance (RIMP)
    Patent number: 8437949
    Abstract: A method of characterizing an airborne spacing operation is provided. The method includes determining, using a computer, a spacing tolerance based on a performance objective for the spacing operation, determining, using a computer, a minimum state data level and a minimum speed performance level based on the spacing tolerance, determining, using a computer, an airborne functionality required to meet the performance objective, and providing, using a computer, a required interval management performance (RIMP) category for the airborne spacing operation, the RIMP category specifying the spacing tolerance, the minimum state data level, the minimum speed performance level, and the airborne functionality.
