Abstract
At the heart of Advanced Arrival Management (AAMAN) lies the ability to plan and control aircraft along trajectories that incorporate all relevant constraints into an integral solution (clearance) and that can be reliably executed by an aircraft. This paper discusses the AAMAN option of speed schedule / route modification (Speed And Route Advisor - SARA), as well as SARA’s relation to a complementary AAMAN option - Required Time of Arrival (RTA). Results from an operational trial of the speed schedule method at Schiphol airport showed a significant reduction in the variability of track miles flown in the Terminal Area (TMA). This reduction in track mile variability will enable introduction of fixed Precision Area Navigation routes (P-RNAV) in the Schiphol TMA. P-RNAV routes in the TMA are required for noise reduction, with the positive side benefit of providing flight efficiency benefits to airlines through increased predictability and reduced fuel burn. Usage of the RTA and speed schedule methods can be complementary, and is dependent on operational factors, such as traffic conditions, airspace layout, etc.
