Airport Information Retrieval System (AIRS)

The handbook is a support manual for a prototype air traffic flow control automation system developed for the FAA's Systems Command Center. The system is implemented on a time-sharing computer and is designed to provide airport traffic laod predictions and flow control support. The manual is designed for use by an experienced computer programmer. It contains instructions on performing the monthly AIRS data base updating including the Official Airline Guide data tape processing, the merging with the existing data base and the maintenance of the associated supporting data files. The manual describes the duties associated with monitoring nightly file checking and failsafe programs to assure data base integrity. The daily processing and troubleshooting of the system's usage records are also described. (Modified author abstract).

  • "The report presents the system design for a prototype air traffic flow control automation system developed for the FAA's Systems Command Center. The design was directed toward the immediate automation of airport data for use in traffic load predictions and flow control operational support. The system employed computer services offered by commercial time-sharing companies. The system was also designed to serve as a technology foundation and an experimental tool from which subsequent automation specifications could be derived. The report covers the design decisions associated with the data base, the user interface, the user language, the special processing and the numerous operational considerations. Also included are the supporting program designs for data base updating and integrity maintenance. Finally, the report presents several recommended improvements to the automation system.

  • "The handbook is a user's guide for a prototype air traffic flow control automation system developed for the FAA's System Command Center. The system is implemented on a time-sharing computer and is designed to provide airport traffic load predictions and flow control support. The User's Guide is a reference manual designed for use by the air traffic controllers and does not require any previous computer experience. The AIRS request (command) language is explained along with instructions on using remote teletype and graphical display terminals in working with the time-sharing computer. The manual tells the user how to obtain airport traffic demand data, flight listings, plots, arrival delay predictions and flow control assistance. It also describes how to enter operational data such as landing capacity estimates and how to add (or cancel) flight schedules to the AIRS centralized data base. (Author)."@en
