Fact Sheet ? Report on the Operational Use of Flight Path Management Systems
The report, "Report on the Operational Use of Flight Path Management Systems" is some 267 pages long with 29 findings and 18 recommendations.
"The findings address:
Many of the sources of safety and operational risk mitigation in the current aviation system;
