Abstract

Next-Gen Flight Procedure Analysis: Design vs. Real World Realities
Track: Aviation
Authors: Gregory Maxwell

Through the use of track density analysis tools in GIS and the injection of realistic aircraft performance data to improve the fidelity of noise contours, Boeing and its partners have been able to refine their environmental performance analysis. This helps all parties including the FAA make more informed decisions to better balance the needs of the community against the current cost pressures on the industry when designing new flight procedures.
