Next Gen Projectan ambitious program to transform the nation’s air
traffic control from today’s radar-based system to a satellite-based system designed to let aircraft fly shorter, more direct routes
The system would use GPS for navigation, enabling airlines to reduce flight distances and use runways more efficiently
required time of arrival (RTA) is used to more precisely meet meter fix crossing times; increases safety
ModulesNewton’s Laws
Using AeronauticsAir Traffic Control
Newton’s Laws with AeronauticsObjectivesUnderstand the relationship between
acceleration, mass & force (F=ma)
Calculate speed, velocity and acceleration in relation to aeronautics
Design, create and redesign a model airplane in order to test it’s effectiveness in flight
Use and apply Newton’s 2nd law of motion
Understand and find payload amounts for safe flight
ActivitiesInteractive PowerPoint lesson with practice
Practice/Application worksheet for students
Crossword for Vocabulary Terminology Practice
Lab Activity-students design/Redesign/Test
glider
Velocity vs. Acceleration PowerPoint
Application of Velocity vs. Acceleration
ExamplesWhat is the acceleration of an aircraft flying at a
velocity of 220 m/s and reducing airspeed for approach for landing to 160 m/s over 20 sec? + or – acceleration?
If an airplane has a mass of 45,000 kg and a thrust of 5000N with a drag of 3000 N, what is the acceleration of the body? Remember F = Thrust – Drag
If a 747 has an empty weight of 184,570 kg, can hold a gross weight of 412,775 kg and when fully fueled has a mass of 356425 kg what is the maximum payload of the plane?
Air Traffic Control ModuleObjectives: Understand that math and science are
connected utilizing math skills and the formula D= R * T in order to line up aircraft at various intersection points
Calculate speed, velocity and acceleration in relation to aeronautics
Using a flight simulator, line up planes converging on a given point utilizing changes in speed or vector in order to maintain a safe distance between airplanes
ActivitiesInteractive PowerPoint Lesson with sector

Sector practice/application worksheet for students
ATC Crossword for vocabulary practice
Web Quest for ATC
Computerized SIM “Lab”
ATC Sector Practice “moving” activity
ATC Examples
Which plane is closer to OAL?How far ahead is this plane? Will the spacing be at least 2 nmi? How much spacing is needed for ideal spacing? What could the controller do to achieve at least ideal spacing? If you change the route of AAL12 to go through MINAH directly to MOD would
that correct the spacing?
