Abstract
In the pre-tactical phase of air traffic flow management, flights in terminal airspace generate plans, such as rerouting and holding, as influenced by the weather. Hence, the new flight rerouting a...
Highlights
Short-term weather variations exist in terminal airspace and cause abrupt declines in the capacity of terminal airspace and operating efficiency
The types of flight operating costs were analyzed and the flight delay cost prediction model was established based on the fuel consumption model in section ‘‘Case study: results and discussion.’’ Section ‘‘Conclusion’’ discusses the analysis of actual calculated arrival example in Shanghai terminal area and the comparison with Quick access recorder (QAR) operation data of actual fights, model feasibility, and accuracy
The key factor affecting flight delay lies in the imbalance between demand and capacity, while severe weather causes a decrease of airspace and airport capacity, leading to an imbalance in capacity and flow
Summary
Short-term weather variations exist in terminal airspace and cause abrupt declines in the capacity of terminal airspace and operating efficiency. The flight delay cost problem attributed to the rerouting strategy and aerial hold procedure in the terminal area under short-term weather influence are discussed in this article and a quantitative analysis of delay time cost and fuel cost of the flight was conducted. By introducing calculated arrival examples in Shanghai terminal area and QAR arrival data, the influences of different aircraft models and different arrival procedures on arrival time cost and fuel consumption are discussed, and a comparative analysis of theoretical calculation data of delay cost and QAR actual operation data implemented. The types of flight operating costs were analyzed and the flight delay cost prediction model was established based on the fuel consumption model in section ‘‘Case study: results and discussion.’’ Section ‘‘Conclusion’’ discusses the analysis of actual calculated arrival example in Shanghai terminal area and the comparison with QAR operation data of actual fights, model feasibility, and accuracy.
