This report introduces a number of transitory steps necessary to progress towards the production of enhanced flight efficiency indicators. Three issues were addressed. The first was the replication of existing indicators to test their sensitivity to different assumptions and to the evolution of measurement tools. The second was the compilation of results for airport pairs, [...]
Co-Author : Tarja Kettunen Abstract This report presents the result of a study to explore ways of progressing towards ‘enhanced’ air traffic management (ATM) flight efficiency indicators. The indicators will allow the performance of the environment related efficiency of the ATM system to be monitored and to generate meaningful environmental impact assessments through continuous monitoring [...]
Paris, 18/11/2005: Co-Author : Ian Crook Abstract: This study investigates the potential environmental impact of several ATM options to guide air traffic around, above and below airspace volumes of cold and moist air likely to produce contrails. Full report on request to sandrine@isa-software.com
Co-Author : Claire Leleu Abstract This report describes a complexity study performed on all the Maastricht UAC sectors. Particular focus was put on the Brussels sectors in the vicinity of the REMBA navaid to assess if airspace changes made in May, 2004, resulted in a reduction of complexity. The study was conducted over two separate [...]
Co-Author : Claire Leleu Abstract The PRU initiated a study to investigate the difference in cost-effectiveness and productivity between US and European en-route centres and determine if this difference could be attributed to distinctions in complexity. This report supports the PRU study by describing and comparing US and European air traffic control centres in relation [...]
