Standard state estimation techniques, either for linear or nonlinear systems, typically assume a perfect knowledge of the system, i.e., known process and measurement functions, and the corresponding noise statistics. The ...

This study presents a sensitivity analysis to model mismatch of an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter when used for aircraft guidance modes identification. The mismatch appears in the guidance command parameters ...

Ground delay programs typically involve the delaying of aircraft that are departing from origin airports within some set distance of a capacity constrained destination airport. Long haul flights are not delayed in this ...

Continuous descent operations (CDOs) with required times of arrival (RTAs) represent a potential solution to reduce the environmental impact in terminal maneuvering areas without degrading capacity. However, flight management ...

The optimisation of aircraft noise abatement procedures involves several conflicting factors, including several noise sensitive locations and aircraft operating costs. This paper presents some strategies that aim at ...

Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) with Con- trolled Times of Arrival (CTA) at one or several metering fixes could enable environmentally friendly procedures without com- promising airspace capacity. Extending the ...

This deliverable starts with the proposal of Pilot3 but incorporates the development produced during the first four months of the project: activities on different workpackages, interaction with Topic Manager and Project ...

In this paper a strategy for planning aircraft departure trajectories for a given airport is presented. Noise annoyance produced by overflying aircraft is modelled by using fuzzy logic in function of the received noise ...
