  1. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Smart SkiesTM Preparing to LeadNASA Air Traffic Control Simulator Activities for Middle School Students Can you line up the planes? All Materials Free! A Presentation for Museum Docents/Trainers 3/20/08

  2. Intro to Air Traffic Control During the busiest travel times, about how many commercial planes are flying in the US? About 5,000 planes!

  3. World’s Largest D-R-T Problem

  4. LineUp with MathTM Math-Based Decisionsin Air Traffic Control (ATC) Distance = Rate • Time Proportional Reasoning Web-based ATC simulator • Act as an Air Traffic Controller. • Use a simulator and math • to change plane routes and speeds • to keep planes safely separated and on time. LineUp With Math™

  5. LineUp with MathTM • Full set of free classroom materials • Simulator, workbooks, videos, teacher guides • Standards-based • Forces and motion • Proportional reasoning • Problem solving • Classroom-tested • Over 5,000 students nation-wide LineUp With Math™

  6. Intro to ATC and the Simulator “Welcome to Sector 33” Video LineUp With Math™

  7. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Typical Problem • Line up 2 or more planes at MOD, 3 Nmi apart. To do this: Challenge: • Change route • Match the target time. • Change speed • Requires math. LineUp With Math™

  8. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts ATC Simulator Problem 3-8 To SFO Three planes all flying to SFO through Modesto (MOD). LineUp With Math™

  9. 3:48 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts The Goal at MOD The planes must be spaced 3 Nmi apart at MOD. The last plane must arrive in 3 mins and 48 secs. LineUp With Math™

  10. 3:48 Target3:48 3 Nmi 3 Nmi MOD 0 10 5 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts A Closer Look at the Goal The planes must be spaced 3 Nmi apart at MOD. The lastplane must arrive in 3 mins and 48 secs. LineUp With Math™

  11. Select and Run Problem 3-8 1. Select Problem 2. Run Problem LineUp With Math™

  13. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Results of Our Analysis All 3 planes: Are the same distance, 35 Nmi, from MOD. Are flying at the same speed, 600 kts. Arrive at MOD at the same time!!! LineUp With Math™

  14. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Ways to Resolve the Conflicts Route Change(s) Speed Change(s) LineUp With Math™

  15. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Resolve the Conflict at OAL Change the route for AAL12to go direct from MINAH to MOD. LineUp With Math™

  16. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Analyze the Route Change What’s the new flight distance to MOD for AAL12? What’s the new spacing at MOD? LineUp With Math™

  17. 00:00 Target3:48 AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts Resolve the DAL88/UAL74 Conflict 540 kts Let’s reduce the speed of UAL74.Try 540 knots (smallest reduction). LineUp With Math™

  18. AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 540 kts Try the Route and Speed Changes 1. Reset Problem 3-8. 2. Change the route of AAL12 direct from MINAH to MOD. (Click AAL12 call sign) 3. Slow UAL74 to 540 kts. (Click UAL74 speed) 4. Run the problem. LineUp With Math™

  19. 3:54 3 Nmi 4 Nmi Target3:48 MOD AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 600 kts 10 5 0 Result of Route & Speed Changes At MOD, note the spacing and time: 3 Nmi between AAL12 & DAL884 Nmi between DAL88 & UAL743 minutes, 54 seconds (target is 3:48) How can you keep UAL74 from falling so far behind? LineUp With Math™

  20. Review & Analyze the Spacing • Click Review. • Drag the slider to 1 min. Note the plane spacing. • Repeat at 2 min. and 3 min. • When should we speed up UAL74 to maintain the 3Nmi spacing between DAL88 and UAL74? LineUp With Math™

  21. AAL12 600 kts DAL88 600 kts UAL74 540 kts Solution Summary 1. Click Solve. 2. Reset Problem 3-8. 3. Change the route of AAL12 direct from MINAH to MOD. 4. Slow UAL74 to 540 kts. 5. After 3 minutes, speed up UAL74 to 600 kts. LineUp With Math™
