What is the required spacing using FUSION target when separating aircraft?

The required spacing using FUSION target when separating aircraft is 3 miles. This standard is important in air traffic control to ensure safe distances between aircraft during various phases of flight, particularly during approach and climb phases, where maintaining adequate separation is critical to prevent any potential conflicts.

FUSION technology integrates various sources of data to provide a comprehensive view of air traffic, improving situational awareness for air traffic controllers. The 3-mile spacing is determined based on numerous factors, including aircraft performance characteristics and the dynamics of airspace. This distance allows for a safe margin to account for any variations in speed and trajectory of the aircraft involved.

Understanding the concept of separation distance and adhering to established guidelines is crucial for maintaining air safety. Other distances, while they may seem reasonable, do not meet the specific requirements designed to optimize the efficiency and safety of air traffic operations.
