Abstract
It is becoming recognised that before civil aircraft can operate at high density, the most important problem to be solved is that of traffic control. Methods exist by which a single aircraft can navigate from a distant point to an airport and let down to a safe landing under bad weather conditions. Difficulties arise when several aircraft are involved at once and long delays can occur in the neighbourhood of airports carrying high density traffic. In this paper an analysis is made of the traffic problem in an attempt to clarify some of the factors involved.
