fundamental contribution to satisfying future demands in air transport like gain of capacity, reduction of environmental impact, improved flight efficiency and high predictability is often the term “4D”. However, having a look at today's fleet only one out of nine aircraft is currently able to, e.g., fulfill a requested time of arrival with high accuracy. Therefore, a successful transition to a 4D-trajectory based operations strongly depends on how especially the unequipped aircraft without an onboard flight management system fit into the concept. In 2007–2009, the FAGI (Future Air Ground Integration) project investigated a new concept facilitating the transition to 4D-trajectory based air traffic management operations.
