Abstract

Purpose - Continuous descent approach (CDA) is a method, which allows the aircraft flying its individual optimal vertical profile down to runway threshold with engines operating at low-thrust power. The main objective of this paper is to provide less-fuel consumption, less noise and less emission with using CDA procedures instead of conventional procedures.
