This paper discusses a top-down analysis methodology for the design, development and evaluation of advanced technological systems like those being considered for General Aviation Free Flight and also the Advanced General Aviation Technology Experiment (AGATE). A current project sponsored by the FAA's Civil Aeromedical Institute is being introduced as an example.
