3 INTRODUCTION Airspace congestion near to airports is a critical problem, causing costly ground delays and environmental problems (noise) The continuous traffic increase is pushing the current system to its limits and it keeps growing There is a need to fully reduce noise and environmental impact through optimizing aircraft traffic specially near to airports. Thus means, finding/designing new techiques for approaching to runway. WE FOCUS ON OPTIMIZING THE VERTICAL DESCENT PROFILE IN THE FINAL APPROACH TO AIRPORT ersidad de Las Palmas de G.C. CTM (ULPGC) 3

6 DESCENT STRATEGIES: Standard Vertical Step Descent Profile the trajectory is composed of a series of segments keeping two of the following variables constant: - Engine control (idle thrust / maximum thrust) - Speed (Mach / CAS) - Vertical rate (altitude rate /inertial flight path angle) The values of the constant variables are specified to be - within the constraints of air traffic control Altitude - performance limits of the aircraft (BADAS database) Horizontal flight (non optimal) Segments Distance to airport 3º ILS requirements IT REPRESENTS THE NORMALLY USED DESCENT APPROACH FOR COMMERCIAL/ CIVIL FLIGTHS ersidad de Las Palmas de G.C. CTM (ULPGC) 6
7 DESCENT STRATEGIES: Continuous Vertical Descent Profile Although CDA (Continuous Descent Approach) was originally developed as a procedure for just reducing fuel, it is becoming a efficient methodology for reducing the noise (and fuel) of approaching aircraft close to airports. The CDA technique results in lower noise levels on the ground through two main effects: CDA flight-path is always higher, keeping the aircraft on a continuos descent, the overall engine power levels are kept lower, causing less noise than if the aircraft were required to fly level. IT BEING USED AS AN EXPERIMENTAL DESCENT APPROACH FOR COMMERCIAL/ CIVIL FLIGTHS WHEN AIR TRAFFIC ALLOWS IT ersidad de Las Palmas de G.C. CTM (ULPGC) 7

X Set of allowed nominal speeds Time constraint Speeds/flap configuration/flight path angle 10
11 NUMERICAL SOLUTION SCHEME: Characteristics of the stated problem: Cost function f(x) is not known explicitly, neither the gradient; they must be evaluated through a simulated program Cost function is not convex (and nonlinear) The problem can be classified as a nonlinear programming problem 11
12 NUMERICAL SOLUTION SCHEME: POSSIBILITIES HEURISTIC STRATEGIES Genetic Simulated annealing Monte Carlo... CLASSICAL METHODS using derivatives ( gradient like) non using derivatives ROSENBROCK S METHOD 12
13 NUMERICAL SOLUTION SCHEME: ROSENBROCK S METHOD It is a classical multidimensional deterministic optimization method from 1960 s It does not use gradient information (only function evaluations) It is easy to programm and... Seems to work well in our problem!!!! 13
14 ROSENBROCK S METHOD As an example, we plot the map for the function f(x 1,x 2 ) = (x 1-2 ) 4 + (x 1-2x 2 ) 2 Progress in both variables Rotate axis by Gram-Schmidt ortogonalization procedure considering the improvement reached on each variable to estimate the new coordinate axis Minimum is at (2,1) 14

21 CONCLUSIONS A EN-ROUTE AND DESCENT TRAJECTORY AIRCRAFT SIMULATOR HAS BEEN DEVELOPED CODE IS IMPLEMENTED IN MATLAB/C++ AND THE COMPUTATIONAL COST IS LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW ITS INTEGRATION IN AN AUTOMATIC TRACKING TOOL TO ASSIST USERS (PILOTS) AN OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEFINED IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE CONTINUOUS DESCENT APPROACH AND RESULTS SHOWS THAT FITTING A TIME-TO- DESTINATION IS REACHED FOR THE CASES UNDER CONSIDERATION 21
