Uncertainty in aircraft trajectory planning and prediction generates major challenges for the
future air traffic management system. Therefore, understanding and managing uncertainty …

The problem of aircraft trajectory prediction subject to wind uncertainty is addressed. In
particular, a probabilistic analysis of aircraft flight time and fuel consumption in cruise flight is …

Accurate estimation of the fuel consumed during aircraft operation is key for determining the
fuel load, reducing the airline operating cost, and mitigating environmental impacts …

An approach to statistically quantify the severity of aircraft conflicts subject to wind forecast
uncertainty is presented. The conflicts are characterized by two indicators: conflict intensity …

The increasing demand for efficient and environmentally sustainable flight profiles requires
innovative operational concepts. Short-term trajectory adaptations, considering dynamic …

The effects of along-track wind uncertainty on aircraft fuel consumption are analyzed. The
case of cruise flight subject to an average constant wind is considered. The average wind is …

Purpose The use of the 4D trajectory operational concept in the future air traffic management
(ATM) system will require the aircraft to meet very accurately an arrival time over a …

The existence of significant uncertainties in the models and systems required for trajectory
prediction represents a major challenge for the Trajectory-Based Operations concept …

Aircraft flight planning is impacted by weather uncertainties. Existing approaches to flight
planning are either deterministic and load additional fuel to account for uncertainty, or …

Abstract The future Air Traffic Management (ATM) system will feature trajectory-centric
procedures that give airspace users greater flexibility in trajectory planning. However …
