The document discusses air traffic controllers' perspectives on airborne separation assistance systems (ASAS). It covers several key points: 1) ASAS could reduce controller workload per flight but increase overall workload depending on how it is implemented. There are also concerns about how ASAS may tighten coupling and introduce conflicting goals in the air traffic management system. 2) ASAS applications can provide aircraft information, instructions, or separation assistance, all of which may impact controllers and require changes to procedures. 3) Controllers want future systems to maintain clear separation responsibilities and not underestimate training needs. Proper conditions for ASAS use need definition to make it useful to controllers.
