The article presents a 4D algorithm covering all phases of an aircraft’s flight path, including the intersection of air-space areas, air-traffic-control sectors, restricted zones, and zones of dangerous meteorological phenomena. The main stages of the 4D algorithm, the critique relates, would cover the aircraft’s trajectory from taxiing-moving under its own power through running-moving on the runway prior to stoppage after final landing. The document suggests that the developed algorithm could be applied to establish a four-stage flight planning and organizational segment dealing with course, estimated time-of-arrival (ETA) at the destination point, operational assessment of the quantity of fuel needed to cover the route, and prediction of potential conflicts en route.
