Enhancing approach procedures to reduce noise and environmental impact (DREAMS)

How can Enhanced Approach Procedures (EAP) of airplanes contribute to reducing noise and environmental impact? NLR, EUROCONTROL, Indra, ENAV and Airbus participated in large-scale live flight demos as part of the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking research project VLD1 DREAMS SESAR. This comprised a series of satellite-enabled solutions aimed at evaluating sustainable approach procedures in real operational environments for single-runway-with-dual-threshold operations or dual-glide-slope (one being steeper) operations while contributing to a reduction in noise pollution.
