A Human-Machine-Interface was developed to allow pilots to perform Continuous Descent Approaches following 4D guidance. This interface was then integrated into a complex Aircraft-Ground architecture to demonstrate the trajectory generation, communication and execution process. For an evaluation of the developed system simulator and flight trials are planned.
