• Abstract:
  The United States (US) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Environment and Energy (AEE) has ; developed the System for assessing Aviation’s Global Emissions (SAGE) with support from the Volpe National ; Transportation Systems Center (Volpe), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Logistics ; Management Institute (LMI). Currently at Version 1.5, SAGE is a high fidelity computer model used to ; predict aircraft fuel burn and emissions for all commercial (civil) flights globally in a given year. ; This means that the model is capable of analyzing scenarios at from a single flight to airport, country, ; regional, and global levels. SAGE is able to dynamically model aircraft performance, fuel burn and ; emissions, capacity and delay at airports, and forecasts of future scenarios. FAA’s purpose in developing ; SAGE is to provide the international aviation community with a tool to evaluate the effects of various ; policy, technology, and operational scenarios on aircraft fuel use and emissions. FAA is committed to the ; continued development and support of SAGE. Although the results from the model have been made available ; to the international aviation community, SAGE is currently an FAA government research tool and has not ; been released to the general public. ; As part of SAGE Version 1.5 development, this document was developed to provide a detailed description of ; the model’s validation assessment. The assessment was undertaken to quantify the uncertainties of the ; model’s methods, data, and assumptions at both the modular and system levels. It is expected that this ; assessment will be used as the basis for future SAGE development and validation work.
