Abstract
Since continuous descent operations (CDO) is one of several tools available to aircraft operators and air navigation service providers (ANSPs) to increase safety, flight predictability, and airspace capacity while reducing noise, controller-pilot communications, fuel burn and emissions, widespread implementation of CDO would result in significant reductions in the environmental impact and aircraft operation costs in south korea as well. After analyzing each procedure from standard terminal arrival routes used for the Incheon international airport, it can be noticed that one of the procedures has a relatively high altitude constraint at initial approach fix than others, which lead the pilots to use unnecessary drag device in certain situations. Therefore we came to a conclusion that some arrival procedures need to be revised, so unnecessary procedure required during approach can be minimized, thereby reducing fuel consumption, noise and emissions compared to current approach procedures. And it is going to increase the safety margin significantly during approach phase due to reduced workload.
