Concept of Operations for Oceanic Tailored Arrivals DRAFT
| Content Provider | Semantic Scholar |
|---|---|
| Abstract | DRAFT Tailored Arrivals (TA) is a comprehensive method of planning, communicating, and flying highly-efficient arrival trajectories from cruise altitude to the runway threshold. TA trajectories are optimised for each aircraft to permit a fuel-efficient, low-noise descent profile that will provide separation assistance while complying with arrival sequencing requirements and other airspace constraints. With airline partnership and FAA support, NASA Ames and Boeing have recently embarked on a collaborative R&D effort aimed at TA concept exploration and system validation in the U.S. This effort will initially focus on trans-oceanic arrival operations due to the availability of airborne and ground-based data-link support infrastructure present in the oceanic control environment. The purpose of this document is to describe a general, end-state, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) applied to trans-oceanic operations, referred to herein as Oceanic Tailored Arrivals (OTA). This CONOPS describes the scope, assumptions, and potential benefits associated with OTA, together with general system requirements and procedures for the airspace user and Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP). This CONOPS is intended to provide a framework for advocacy and planning in preparation for a near-term flight demonstration involving trans-pacific commercial arrival operations in the 2006 timeframe. |
