Environmental Approach

• The AIRE domain demonstrations are proof of
  concept ATM system enhancements that have shown
  to offer major environmental benefits as well as
  improved operational efficiency.
• For each AIRE domain technology/technique,
  statistically significant levels of fuel savings
  and emission and noise reductions will be
  quantified for the participating trans-Atlantic
  flights.
• The cumulative measures will identify the overall
  potential gate-to-gate environmental mitigation
  possible for trans-Atlantic flights.

AIRE Environmental Measurement Goals (Reduce fuel
burn/emissions)

FY-08 Oceanic FocusIn-Flight Oceanic Trajectory
Management - 4D (OTM 4-D)

• Goal
• Improve fuel efficiency, reduce green house gas
  emissions, thru enhance aircraft performance by
  enabling operators to fly closer to their optimal
  trajectories
• Approach
• Through optimization analysis tools, identify
  beneficial profile changes for aircraft pairs and
  traffic flow
• Recommended profile changes for optimization via
  degrees-of-freedom control actions

Optimal Flight Level
30 NM separation
Speed Change for optimization
Sub-Optimal Flight Level

• In FY2008 an In-Flight OTM-4D proof of concept
  demonstration will be conducted as part of the
  AIRE partnership

AIRE Oceanic Summary

• The AIRE Oceanic demo is a proof of concept
  demonstration within the overall Oceanic
  Trajectory Based Operations development program
  of Oceanic Trajectory Management 4D (OTM-4D)
  In-Flight
• The AIRE demonstration is intended to exercise
  oceanic OTM-4D concepts in a limited operational
  trial, to evaluate fuel savings and emissions
  reduction potential on participating
  trans-Atlantic flights
• Automated optimization processes and coordination
  sequences from the OTM-4D In-Flight concept will
  be conducted manually during the AIRE Oceanic
  Demonstration

Tailored Arrivals What are they?

• Tailored arrival Key features
• Continuous descent from cruise altitude to
  touchdown
• Tailored for traffic, environment, airspace
• Controller-to-aircraft communication by data
  link
• Definition of flight path in both time and space
  (4D Flight Path)
• Flight path coordinated through multiple air
  traffic domains, centers, sectors
• Benefits
• Noise significantly decreased (near idle descent)
• Emissions reduction anticipated
• Flight duration reduced by several minutes
• 100 to 400 kg less fuel per flight
• Dramatically reduced VHF voice communication
• Overall efficiency improved
• Important step toward modernization of ATM

End State Description Dynamic STAR
If ATC does not have required data link
functionality, tailored arrivals can still be
achieved by using pre-negotiated set of standard
arrival processes pre-stored in FMS.

Tailored Arrivals How they workSimplified Data
Flow
FANS (or other integrated data link)
TA trajectory flown with FMS
5
TA trajectory received and loaded into FMS on
pilot concurrence
4
Aircraft downlinks ETA information (at waypoints)
along with other useful parameters for ATC
trajectory confirmation and tuning
6
Ground automation, e.g. ATOP, ERAM, TAATS
3
CPDLC
TA clearance delivered to aircraft over data

continued for any reason
