Self-Routing Airlines?

[Hooker47]

I feel like years ago they were trying to sell ADS-B as a way for aircraft to essentially fly whatever routing they desired (off airways) to take advantage of winds and GPS point-to-point capability. Did I dream this up? Does anyone else remember this project or remember what it was called?

Without hitting each other. How would ADSB achieve that?

Are you thinking of FANS?

With the ADS-B mandate and PBCS, a lot more flights are flown on user-defined routes rather than published airways these days.

Pera, Simples!! ADS-B out, ADS-B in and then show other traffic on the nav display with instructions on how to follow or avoid it. I did several simulator runs in Maastricht airspace followed by a descent to the ILS at Amsterdam doing my own self-separation.
