1. The scenario isbased onthe oldDenver Centerairspace (prior to the 1996 airspace re-design)and focuses on the northeast portion of a small arrival rush to the Denver airport. Figures 5-7 illustrate a plan view encompassing threemajor high-altitude arrivalsectors. The terminal area(TRACON) andairportare locatedin the lower left corner. The Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) are displayed as three bold lines that merge at PONNY and SMITY intersections,and enter the TRACON at the KEANN meter fix. Radar-track and data tags are used to depict each flight's position, flight level, and groundspeed. The timeline on the left side graphically depicts the meteringinformation from TMA. The left column depicts the TMA Scheduled Times of Arrival (STA)at the meter fixwhile the right column depictsthe EstimatedTime of Arrival(ETA). The difference representsthe delay to be absorbedfor metering conformance. Predicted conflicts are indicated by a conflict-probe (CP)listofthe flights involved (and time to first loss of separation) and conflict markers depictingthe correspondinglocationsof eachconflict.
