Expected Impact
A unique concept achieves broad impact: applicable in all areas, for all utilization times, using existing infrastructures.
Impact on short-haul operations
Ground side
- Continuous steady taxiing
- Reduced waiting times with engine running
Air side
- Shorter routes through direct approaches
- Avoid holdings by required time of arrival
- Always use Continues Descent Approach
- Always use Continues Climb
- Avoid long transitions
- Take disturbances into account
Impact on long-haul operations
- Shortened flight routes of long-haul flights coming from Europe
- Less emissions
- Less impact on climate
Key facts and figures
10% reduction
of CO2 emissions
per tonne-km before 2030, in conformity with ACARE (Europe) and CAAMS (China) targets.
Joint evaluations
concerning different KPAs
enabling a common view on measurement methods especially on environmental impact assessment metrics, systems in both Europe and China.
Worldwide influence
through several working groups
IFAR, RTCA, EUROCAE Working Group 41 “Surface Movement Guidance & Control System” and 81 “Interoperability of ATM Validation Platforms”;
EUROCONTROL standardisation working groups related to CDO/CCO implementation and performance unit.
