The simulation was part of an ongoing effort to evaluate plans for increasing air traffic capacity in the D/FW area and to evaluate multiple parallel approaches in general. An additional parallel runway (16L), with centerline 5,000 ft east of the existing 17L runway, was simulated in a triple simultaneous parallel operation conducted under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). The results of the study indicated that controllers were able to maintain miss distances, between blundering aircraft and nonblundering aircraft, in the proposed D/FW triple simultaneous parallel Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach operation, that were statistically equivalent to the miss distances maintained in the approved dual approach condition. None of the blunders in the triple or dual approach conditions resulted in a slant range miss distance of less than 1,000 ft. Finally, controllers, controller observers and ATC management observers concluded that the triple simultaneous ILS approach operation at D/FW is acceptable, achievable, and safe. (jhd) 收起
