In this study, we propose trajectory-based arrival management using CDO (Continuos Descent Operations). The operational procedures with TBO (Trajectory-Based Operations) concept were established to allow aircraft and ground system to share the trajectories with each other in real time. The proposed operational concept was validated in the air traffic control simulation environment, which consists of controller working position, pseudo pilot system, air traffic generation system, and controllers' decision support system for arrival management using CDO. Simulation results compared with actual flight data indicate that proposed concept could improve the efficiency of traffic flow management in terms of total descending time and fuel consumption. And it was confirmed that if there is a system that can share and utilize the synchronized trajectory, it can be helpful to control arrival aircraft and apply CDO concept.

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.

점증하는 항공교통량의 원활한 수용과 안전한 항공기술 저변확대를 위하여 ICAO는 성능기반의 항공교통관리(ATM) 체계와 시스템을 Upgrade할 구체적 이행계획인 ASBU를 개정하고 체약국들의 수용을 촉구하고 있고, 우리나라는 ICAO의 5연임 이사국으로서 ASBU의 주요 Module에 대응하는 모든 Working Paper에 대하여 적극 수용한다는 입장이다. 본 논문은 ASBU의 PIA 4에 해당하는 CDO 및 관련 Module인 TBO의 개념을 살펴보고, 선도적으로 운용되고 있는 사례를 분석해 봄으로써 미래에 대응하는 방안을 찾고자 하였다. CDO는 새로운 장비와 시스템을 갖추지 않더라도 절차의 보완으로 개선할 수 있는 부문에 속하므로 우리나라의 운영 현황을 리뷰하고 그 영향에 대하여 정리해 보았다. 다만, 항공기 고도 강하 단계에서의 개선효과가 상승 또는 순항 단계에 비하여 효율성이 상대적으로 미미한 편이고, ATM 구분 상 기상 등의 외부 변수에 취약하여 효율성 연구에 접근하기 어려운 면이 있으나, 고밀도 공항의 특화된 CDO 기법 개발을 통하여 연료절감 및 탄소배출량 저감, 소음감소의 성과를 이룬 선진 사례를 들어 국내에 적용할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 장기적으로 연구하고자 한다.

The main causes of the July 2013 OZ 214 accident were poorly performed approach and the failure to recognize the autothrottle in the HOLD position which the automated speed control was not provided. The pilots late decision for go-around was also a critical factor leading to the accident. The B777 POM restricts the use of FLCH mode beyond the FAF. This research utilized the QAR data of an airline's B777 fleet in the period of two years where 44 cases were found. In many cases, the FLCH mode was used for rapid descent from an higher than normal situation. In addition, in the base turn, continuous use of FLCH mode even when the path was below the glide path were observed. Airports with elevation above 500 ft MSL had a higher rate of occurrence. In this research, the proper descent planning and vertical path monitoring, and the adherence to the limitation set in the manuals and the stabilized approach criteria were re-emphasized as mitigation to reduce event occurences.
