Green Approaches:4D-Trajectory Enabled Continuous Descent Approaches Keith Wichman -- Smiths Aerospace FAA New Technologies Workshop III 9-10 January 2007, Arlington Virginia Example: Aircraft capability Why are CDA’s not used wholesale? Myth: “CDA’s reduce capacity” Idle descent vertical and time profiles can vary widely from aircraft to aircraft This uncertainty drives need for ATC to block large chunks of airspace Thus, CDA’s practiced today generally off-peak hours and/or sub-optimal descents (least-common-denominator fixed vertical profiles) Solution: Marriage with 4D-trajectory downli
