DYN-MARS: A Way to More Energy-Optimal Approach Flight Profiles

Kurzfassung

The DYN-MARS (DYNamic Management of Aircraft Configuration and Route Structures) project aims to reduce the environmental impact of aircraft during descent and approach by enhancing collaboration between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC). Building on previous SESAR 2020 initiatives, DYN-MARS introduces an advanced flight management system (FMS) that optimizes descent profiles. This system suggests operational adjustments, including new speed policies and refined aircraft configuration procedures, to manage energy more effectively. Validation trials were carried out using DLR’s advanced flight simulator (AVES) and air traffic simulator (ATMOS), involving more than 300 simulated flights with a Airbus A320neo aircraft to evaluate the DYN-MARS solution in a realistic operational context at Berlin Brandenburg
