12.4 Traffic Complexity

Traffic complexity is not determined solely by the number of aircraft.

Factors

Crossing routes
Opposite direction traffic
Mixed climb and descent profiles
Speed differences

Key Principle

Low traffic with high complexity can be more demanding than high traffic with low complexity.
