AGENDA Set up the scene What has been done What is to be done Enlarge the picture Questions AUN2014 Paris 15-16 avril 2014 2
Setup the scene Operational context: Gradual increase of traffic Airport capacity: limited number of runways Airspace design and route structure: organisation already optimised Effects Congestions in Terminal Area Airport become a bottleneck, delaying flights Holding is a common occurrence for traffic (ARR/DEP) AUN2014 Paris 15-16 avril 2014 3
Setup the scene Upcoming operational issues for airports High density of traffic during rush hours More dense mixed traffic pressure during rush hours (A380, B747-8) Conservative Wake-Vortex Separation on the glide Fixed ICAO Wake-Vortex Separation Downgraded RWY capacity in adverse weather conditions Extended Runway Occupancy Time (e.g. 80 s for A380 vs. 55 s for B747 AUN2014 Paris 15-16 avril 2014 4
Wake vortex hazards Wake-Vortex Hazards: Safety Issues Enquiry have shown that highest occurrence of wake-vortex encounters are: At the touchdown (behind 100 feet in altitude) At Turn onto glideslope (between 3500-4500 feet in altitude) Severe wake-vortex encounters mainly occur under 500 feet in altitude Impact of wake-vortex encounter on follower aircraft is Roll Angle Due to flying command limits, critical Wake-Vortex Encounter is at low altitude during final approach and Initial Climb phases Roll angle induced by wake-vortex :Critical at altitude AUN2014 Paris 15-16 avril 2014 5
