ATM4E

ATM4E aimed at integrating existing methodologies for assessment of the environmental impact of aviation, in order to evaluate the implications of environmentally-optimized flight operations to the European ATM network, considering climate, air quality and noise impacts. A modelling concept for climate-optimisation which has been developed in a feasibility study for the North Atlantic has been expanded to a multi-dimensional environmental impact assessment, covering climate, air quality and noise. Different traffic scenarios (present-day and future) are analysed to understand the extent to which environmentally-optimized flights that are planned and optimized based on multi-dimensional environmental criteria (assessment) would lead to changes in air traffic flows and create challenges for ATM. These findings were used to prepare a roadmap compliant with SESAR2020 principles and objectives which would consider the necessary steps and actions that would need to be taken to introduce..
