Controller tools which help decision making

We use COOPANS.

We have a number of tools which help decision making.

MTCD displays potential conflicts in either a list or graphic form.
This is in a separate window on the screen.

MINSEP tool where you can plot the closest point for 2 flights.

It is possible to probe the planned exit level in the label which will highlight all possible conflicts while suppressing non conflicts.
This probes all aircraft at the level (s) concerned within coverage.

Also you can probe the route from the label. It probes along the current flight plan path. and it will show conflicting paths in red where the predicted separation distance is below the probe values.
This is not to say that should they continue on their flight planned tracks you would loose separation merely that the predicted values are below the probe settings and you should examine the concerned aircraft paths/levels and de-conflict if necessary.

STCA is there too with 90 sec look ahead.

This functionality is inbuilt to the system.

What system do you use?
