ERAS
The ERAS project is implemented with the aim of increasing knowledge about how current aviation practice differs from the theoretical models of pilot operational behavior that are used as a basis for noise calculation.
Based on this, ERAS will increase the knowledge of how arriving aircraft are actually making noise in relation to the theoretical noise calculations used today. ERAS will also increase knowledge of how approach angles that differ ± 0.5 ° from today's normal approach angle of 3.0 ° may affect flight operational procedures that could be operational within 10 years and consequent changes in noise.
This will be achieved by testing realistic flight operational procedures for the final part of an approach in flight simulators with approach angles of 2.5 °, 3.0 ° and 3.5 °. The tests shall include several different aircraft types of different categories, to ensure that the resulting flight operational scenarios are realistic. Both in terms of being possible to rationally manage the arrival of several different aircraft types at an airport, and at the same time being noise and fuel efficient.
