Abstract This report documents work done to enhance terminal area aircraft performance modeling in the Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Environmental Design Tool. A commercially available aircraft performance software tool was used to develop data in a form usable by the Aviation Environmental Design Tool. These data were compared to actual aircraft performance data measured by flight data recorder systems. The terminal area fuel consumption data was shown to average about 2% different from the measured fuel consumption for departures and about 5% different for arrivals.
