This paper is intended to show those areas in which improved avionics could, in the relatively near future, contribute to overcoming the limitations described by Reich and Dickie. Sir Robert Cockburn has pointed out that present-day avionics is ‘decision-limited’ rather than ‘technology-limited’. If the present paper is to do more than reiterate a melancholy list of avionics solutions which are still unsuccessfully seeking suitable problems, it is essential to consider the constraints under which the airspace planners must operate, and the contribution which good electronic design might make to breaking the decision-taking bottleneck.
