| Resumo : | Go-arounds (GA) are a relevant safety event that may occur during the approach phase of the flight due to several reasons such as unstable approach, loss of separation minima or adverse weather. In dense terminal control areas, this manoeuvre, even though it is a standard procedure, can generate significant and additional air traffic control (ATC) workload as it requires a quick and accurate reaction in order to safely reintegrate the flight into the traffic flow and immediately establish a new approach and landing sequence. In current operations, air traffic controllers typically become aware of a GA during or after their execution, which leads to a very short time horizon for operational decision-making. This research aims to propose and evaluate the operational impacts of a real-time monitoring and alerting solution for ATC decision support in approach control facilities and aerodrome control towers. The solution is based on the use of surveillance data and the application of analytical and machine learning methods for identifying flight trajectory anomalies in real-time and predicting the execution of a GA. Based on a human-in-the-loop simulation of air traffic operations at the Sao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport, it is assessed how the presence of such an alert that anticipates the occurrence of a GA affects the ATC performance. The results showed an increase in the perceived levels of situational awareness and safety as well as an increase in the efficiency of ATC decisions concerning the go-around, with an observed reduction of nearly two minutes in the flight time from the start of the manoeuvre and the landing when the alert was active. |
