Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to methods and systems for managing air traffic. More particularly, this invention relates to methods and systems used to optimize air traffic control operations and minimize losses in air traffic efficiency, and includes methods and systems for managing the time schedule for arriving aircraft by including early cruise descents as a means of absorbing time delays resulting from one or more aircraft missing its/their scheduled time of arrival (STA).
  • STA scheduled time of arrival
  • longitudinal (speed changes) lateral
  • flight path lengthening or shortening lateral
  • vertical (lowering the cruise altitude to reduce speed) alterations Currently, a combination of speed changes and lateral alterations in flight paths is used to absorb time delays.
  • trajectory is a time-ordered sequence of three-dimensional positions an aircraft follows from take-off to landing, and can be described mathematically, in contrast, a flight plan is a series of documents that are filed by pilots or a flight dispatcher with a civil aviation authority that includes such information, such as departure and arrival locations and times, that can be used by air traffic control (ATC) to provide tracking and routing services.
  • ATC air traffic control
  • Trajectory is a means of fulfilling an intended flight plan, with uncertainties in time and position.
  • TBO Trajectory Based Operations
  • NextGen Next Generation Air Transport System
  • SESAR European Single European Sky ATM Research
  • TBO concepts provide the basis for improved airspace operation efficiency.
  • Trajectory synchronization and negotiation implemented in TBO also enable airspace users (including flight operators, flight dispatchers, flight deck personnel, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and military users) to regularly fly trajectories closer to their preferred trajectories, enabling business objectives, including fuel and time efficiency, wind-optimal routing, and weather-related trajectory changes, to be incorporated into TBO concepts.
  • business objectives including fuel and time efficiency, wind-optimal routing, and weather-related trajectory changes
  • An overarching goal of TBO is to reduce uncertainty associated with the prediction of an aircraft's future location through the use of the aforementioned 4DT in space and time.
  • the precise use of 4DT dramatically reduces uncertainty in determining an aircraft's current and future position and trajectory relative to time, and includes the ability to predict when an aircraft will reach an arrival meter fix (a geographic location also referred to as a metering fix, arrival fix, or comerpost) as the aircraft approaches its arrival airport.
  • arrival meter fix a geographic location also referred to as a metering fix, arrival fix, or comerpost
  • air traffic control relies on "clearance-based control" systems, which depends on observations of an aircraft's current location, typically without much further knowledge of the aircraft's trajectory. Typically, this results in the aircraft flying a route that is determined by air traffic control and which is not the aircraft's preferred trajectory. Switching to TBO would allow an aircraft to fly along a user-preferred trajectory.
  • CI Cost Index
  • the CI of an aircraft determines its optimal flight speed and trajectory, and is a function of atmospheric conditions, aircraft performance capabilities and trajectory, and as a result is nearly unique to every flight, in addition, factors such as speed and altitude do not necessarily increase linearly with increasing CL As such, the computation of CI in ground simulation is difficult.
  • TBO For TBO to function effectively, it requires accumulation and compilation of trajectory data from all relevant aircraft. User-preferred trajectories, those which are most desirable by the aircraft operators, may often conflict with one another, especially in air traffic systems which are no longer-clearance based. Although TBO will improve efficiency, it must deal with trajectory and traffic conflicts. Trajectory negotiation determines the trajectory requirements or intentions of a variety of aircraft, and attempts to form a solution which meets as many user preferences as possible and make the best use of available airspace. Such a trajectory negotiation relies on aircraft trajectory data as well as human decision-making and trajectory preferences.
  • an aircraft in a continuous-descent or early-descent trajectory, an aircraft begins descending at an idle or near-idle thrust setting much earlier than in a standard trajectory. By beginning a slow descent much earlier in a flight path, a time delay may be absorbed, and less fuel may be exhausted.
  • the basic outline of an early-descent trajectory is shown in FIG. 1. An aircraft following an early-descent trajectory may either continuously descend to an appointed meter-fix location, or descend to an intermediate lower altitude, allowing it to fly at a slower speed to absorb a flight delay and potentially consume less fuel.
