Optimum altitude

Reach optimum altitude ASAP

However, speed limits on climb out…

Significant savings if clean airspeed departure Clean Airspeed Departures  About kg fuel savings

Maintain en route flight at optimum altitude

Optimum altitude varies according to weight Example: 12 hour flight

1,000 ft 2,000 ft Available Cruising Levels 33,000 ft 32,000 ft 31,000 ft 30,000 ft 29,000 ft 33,000 ft 32,000 ft 31,000 ft 30,000 ft 29,000 ft Conventional Vertical Separation Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) 4,000 ft 2,000 ft

Optimum Altitude Unavailable Next Available 4,000 ft lower 450 kg/hr penalty (B744) LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL CRUISING LEVELS Next Available 8,000 ft lower 1200 kg/hr penalty

Optimum Altitude Unavailable Next Available 2,000 ft lower 140 kg/hr penalty As opposed to 450kg/hr or 1200kg/hr penalty on conventional cruising levels RVSM SAVINGS Next Available 4,000 ft lower 450 kg/hr penalty

Enhancing capacity / reducing emissions Procedural / time separation

Utilizing technology 1. Position broadcast by the aircraft (ADS-C) and Navigation accuracy 2. Direct controller / pilot communication (CPDLC) 3. Technology / available today

Reducing delays & optimum altitudes Equates to CO2 - reductions

Infrastructure enhancements

Goal: Continuous descent for arrival

Fuel Savings on Arrivals  10% less fuel  40% less noise  Saves kg fuel  kg less CO2

A B 8200 nm 9100 Winds rule! Longer the flight - greater the daily variance for the optimum track

Eastbound: Dubai - Brisbane Example: 1000 kgs per month 100 minutes flying time ~1200nm abeam great circle track

Preferred route - 20May06 Distance (nm) Flight time :13 Preferred route - 03Nov05 Distance (nm) Flight time :50 Great Circle Distance between LAX & HKG nm 2700nm Westbound: Los Angeles - Hong Kong

Military Restricted Airspace

Conclusion  Infrastructure ATM enhancement is critical  Technology on aircraft  Reduced reliance on ground systems  Airlines investing:  Reduce emissions  Plan for ASPAC (based on ICAO GPIs)  Accelerate progress from States  APEC  Working together to address issues  Common goal  Critical role
