| Popis: | A new on board integrated planning and guidance concept has been developed that attempts to optimize the vertical trajectory to achieve a continuous engine-idle descent while satisfying time constraints. The new concept, named Time and Energy Managed Operations (TEMO), reduces noise, gaseous emissions and fuel consumption, while adhering to time constraints yielding control points for aircraft spacing and sequencing. The concept allows small deviations between planned and actual trajectory within pre-set boundaries and calculates a new trajectory when these deviations are exceeded. The concept was evaluated in a Full Motion Flight Simulator at the premises of the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) in Amsterdam. Six pilots were invited to provide feedback of the TEMO concept with respect to operation, safety and certification requirements and to demonstrate that the TEMO Technology Readiness Level (TRL) achieved level 5, in that the technology is demonstrated in a relevant (simulated) environment. Conclusions drawn from the responses to the questionnaires and any issues that have emerged indicate that TEMO is a promising concept that may play a valuable role in ATM facilitation. Recommendations for future research include the use of more involved scenarios and active participation of ATC. |
