| Abstract | This paper proposes an innovative guidance for descending aircraft, the so-called CDA-MP 4D Guidance, where CDA-MP stands for Continuous Descent Approaches for Maximum Predictability. The vertical guidance consists of a novel combination of elevator and throttle actuations that enable accurate continuous 4D navigation while minimizing fuel consumption, throttle activity, gas emissions, and noise production during descent. The method uses elevator actuations to control groundspeed and efficiently match a prescribed groundspeed law. By conservation of energy, uncertainties such as wind translate into potential energy (vertical) errors if the along-track position of the aircraft is to match the guidance reference at all times. Along-track predictability makes spacing between aircraft or estimated arrival times to metering fixes more predictable, and due to its continuous nature provides an enhanced level of integrity for the entire system. All these factors represent enormous advantages for the future Air Transportation System. Previous vertical guidance developments have included ground speed control by elevator actuation, but this method includes an additional logic for throttle activity to control the mechanical energy of the aircraft, which is the actual contribution of this method. The engine is actuated with a given law that uses near-idle thrust values in order to confine vertical deviations within predefined thresholds from the guidance reference with minimal engine interventions. Simulated descents for Boeing aircraft under the proposed guidance are presented, and the potential strengths and benefits of this guidance with respect to existing methods are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
