Abstract:
This paper presents the Concept of Operations (Con-Ops) associated with integrating a quasi-real-time ground-based trajectory optimization tool in the Air Traffic Control system. The tool is intended to be used a few minutes before a climb or descent to generate trajectories with minimual fuel burn which take into account the latest operational considerations.
