In today’s airspace, rapidly increasing amounts of traffic are pushing the limits of capacity and safety. In an effort to optimize available airspace, various initiatives have been undertaken to investigate future air traffic management concepts. In these efforts, a shift towards trajectory-based environments can be identified, where user needs and performance capabilities are leading to user-preferred routing, using Airborne Separation Assurance Systems. This paper describes the initial research towards an ecological design of a fourdimensional Separation Assistance interface. Based on a work-domain analysis, several perspective projections of travel constraints are proposed, as well as an initial layout for the display concept. Key issues in the current design are discussed, with recommendations for future work.
