Bio


Mr. Chartrand is currently working in the Crew Systems and Aviation Operations Branch at NASA’s Langley Research Center.  For the past twelve years he has primarily been conducting research in support of the ADS-B In-Trail Procedure.  His involvement has included concept and simulation development, planning and execution of Human In The Loop and batch experiments, and analysis of data from the FAA/United Airlines operational evaluation.  He is currently part of a team developing the Pairwise Trajectory Management concept for oceanic airspace, Trajectory Based Operations, and is the lead on the TMX simulation at Langley which is being used to support multiple research efforts at NASA. Mr. Chartrand graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering.
