What are the benefits of Continuous Descent Operations?
More efficient
Less noise
Save fuel
What is a continuous decent approach?
A operating technique which arriving aircraft descends from an optimal position with minimum thrust and avoids level flight. To the extend permitted by safe operation of the aircraft and compliance with published procedures and ATC Instructions.
CDA May compromise of any of the folllowing:
- Simple CDA: provision of Distance to go (DTG) Information by ATC
- More advanced: STARs with vertical profiles
- A combination of if the two
What is the principle of CDA?
Can be implemented from any altitude but, where and when possible should be an optimised descent profile from Top of Descent
