| Abstract | To support improved analysis of the environmental impacts of proposed global aircraft operational changes, the United States Federal Aviation Administration recently worked with European academic partners to update the airport terminal area fuel consumption methods used in the Aviation Environmental Design Tool. These updates are based on fitting data from a commercial third party aircraft performance program to previously developed empirical equations. These algorithm updates have adequate fidelity in the terminal area to assist air transportation policy makers in weighing the costs and benefits of competing environmental and economic demands. Comparison with Flight Data Recorder information for in-service airline operations shows that the combination of new aircraft data with the methods in the environmental model can accurately capture the fuel consumption consequences of different terminal departure and arrival procedures within a reasonable level of uncertainty. |
