The airport runway is a scarce resource that must be shared by different runway operations (arrivals, departures and runway crossings). Given the possible sequences of runway events, careful Runway Operations Planning (ROP) is required if runway utilization is to be maximized. Thus, Runway Operations Planning (ROP) is a critical component of airport operations planning in general and surface op...

Long-landing events (LLEs) can lead to reduced available runway length and increased operating costs, which are primarily caused by the improper operation of aircraft, i.e., human error. The pilot’s data comprehensively recorded in quick access recorder (QAR) during aircraft takeoff landing, analyzing QAR determine causes LLEs. Traditionally, domain experts inspect LLEs manually setting ...

A set of flight tests designed to evaluate the relative utility of candidate displays with advanced symbology for general aviation terminal area instrument flight rules operations are discussed. The symbology was previously evaluated as part of the NASA Langley Research Center's Terminal Configured Vehicle Program for use in commercial airlines. The advanced symbology included vehicle track ang...

The main component of the movement area an airport is its landing strips, which must be kept in optimal conditions for takeoff and aircraft; it vitally important to know current state operating, that In this sense, objective investigation was determine surfaceevaluation asphalt pavement runway Alférez FAP David Figueroa Fernandini Huánuco (Peru) applying PCI methodology based on deterioration o...

Recently, domestic small airport development plans are being promoted centering on islands, and among them, Baengnyeong Island Airport is located very close to North Korea due its geographical characteristics. In particular, since it in the P-518, which prohibited airspace, essential configure arrival/departure flight procedure route similarly current ship terms of securing safety. Therefore, t...

We investigate the computational complexity of two global constraints, CUMULATIVE and INTERDISTANCE. These are key constraints in modeling and solving scheduling problems. Enforcing domain consistency on both is NP-hard. However, restricted versions of these constraints are often sufficient in practice. Some examples include scheduling problems with a large number of similar tasks, or tasks spa...

This paper proposes a method for obstacle detection on a runway for autonomous navigation and landing of an aircraft. Detection is done in presence of extraneous features such as tire-marks. Suitable features are extracted from the image and warping using approximately known camera and plane parameters is performed in order to compensate ego-motion as far as possible. Residual disparity after w...

Achievements of the Space Shuttle experience and recent research activities were analyzed and absorbed, and a rapid generation technique of trajectories was focused on for the terminal area of reentry runway-landing flight vehicles. Based on the present processing capability of onboard computers, the trajectory geometry preset planning can be replaced by logic condition based algorithms which c...

This paper aims to study the multiple runway case of the static Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP), where all data are known in advance. In the first part of this work, we propose a formulation of the problem as a mathematical programming model in order to reduce the number of constraints (which can positively reduce the computing time) and to give a more rigorous formulation. In the second part, w...

TEMO (time and energy managed operations) is a new concept that aims to optimise continuous descent operations, while fulfilling with a very high accuracy controlled time of arrival (CTA) constraints at different metering fixes. This paper presents the results and main lessons learnt from two human-inthe-loop experiments that aimed to validate the TEMO trajectory planning and guidance algorithm...
