Validating SESAR Time-Based Separation concept

Strong headwinds are one of the trouble-makers in airports reducing aircraft speed during approach, what decreases the landing rate. This turns into delays and cancellations.
Within the scope of SESAR, TBS project has developed new operating methods for spacing aircraft by time during strong headwinds conditions, instead of applying distance separations.
