09 - Air Transport System Efficiency
SPEED GATED INTERCEPT PROCEDURE STUDY FOR INTEGRATION OF INCREASING DIVERSE OPERATIONS (IDO) AT EUROPEAN AIRPORTS
T. Welsch¹, M.-M. Temme¹; ¹DLR, Germany
Simulations show that Increasing Diverse Operations (IDO) will result in capacity losses at hub airports, as controllers will have to insert larger gaps between approaches with very different speed profiles. With the help of optimized intercept points on the final, a large part of this loss can be compensated. Thus, supporting the transformation towards individually optimized approach speeds.
