Abstract:
|
TEMO (time and energy managed operations) is a
new concept that aims to optimise continuous descent operations,
while fulfilling with a very high accuracy controlled time of
arrival (CTA) constraints at different metering fixes. This paper
presents the results and main lessons learnt from two human-in-
the-loop experiments that aimed to validate the TEMO trajectory
planning and guidance algorithm: a full motion flight simulation
experiment and a flight testing campaign. Positive results were
obtained from the experiments, regarding the feasibility of the
concept and acceptance from the pilots. TEMO descents typically
showed lower fuel figures than conventional step-down descents.
Moreover, RTA adherence at the initial approach fix (IAF)
showed very good performance. Time accuracy at the runway
threshold, however, did not fulfil the (very challenging) time
target accuracies. Further work is needed to enhance the current
algorithm once the aircraft is established on the instrument
landing system glideslope. |
