Continuous descent operations (CDO) are an efficient descent operation for
passenger/cargo aircraft and implemented at various airports worldwide. However, it is …

Cyclic loads have a significant impact on the fatigue life of aircraft lugs. To evaluate fatigue
life of aircraft lugs, an accurate calculation of fatigue life is essential. Therefore, thermal …

Real-time autonomous interval management in multi-aircraft operational scenarios
addresses safety, efficiency, and economic issues in air transportation. This study proposes …

Protection of the natural environment is a key activity driving development in the transport
discipline today. The use of simulators to train civil aviation pilots provides an excellent …

The paper discusses a case study of obtaining an airline pilot license in integrated training—
the so-called “from zero to Airline Transport Pilot License”. The environmental implications of …

Civilian aviation continues to contribute significantly to the total economic and environmental
impact of aeronautics. Reduction of the fuel burn and environmental impact of civilian …

Toward implementation of fuel-saving descent operations, this study demonstrated a fixed
flight-path angle descent using regularly scheduled commercial flights arriving at Kansai …

CONTINUOUS descent operations (CDOs) have been subject of extensive research in the
last decades. Even if proving successful in reducing the environmental impact [1], such …

In this study, the effects of instrument approach procedures and flight path angles on fuel
consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions were investigated using the actual …

Recent research on flight-deck interval management technology, including the findings of a
