Time-Based Arrival Management and Continuous Descent Approaches

Abstract

The presentation deals with the successive applica­tion of time-based arrival management and automatic arrival-departure-coordination. DLR’s arrival manager 4D-CARMA supports approach controllers with sequence and advisory information during two time-based human-in-the-loop experi­ments: First 4D-CARMA was used for dual thres­hold operation on a parallel runway system operated in mixed mode for arrivals and departures. In an additional human-in-the loop experiment 4D-CARMA supports the controllers to integrate unequipped aircraft into a stream of 4D equipped ones performing a user-preferred CDA approach.
