SINOPTICA Evaluation Methodology and Plan

Kurzfassung

This document describes the evaluation methodology of the SINOPTICA project. The expected benefits of the integration of convective weather into extended arrival management systems will be assessed by qualitative evaluations by ATM experts. Key performance indicators will be applied for qualitative assessments. Preliminary technical tests and sensitivity studies will be done separately for meteorological and extended AMAN developments. For SINOPTICA system demonstration an extended Arrival Manager will be implemented for the high density Terminal Manoeuvring Area of Milano Malpensa. Interesting significant convective case studies developed within the SINOPTICA project and real flown trajectories will be used to compare the extended AMAN with and without weather input and activated controller guidance support functionalities.
