• Abstract:
  The focus on optimizing aircraft fuel efficiency
  
  as well as interest in assessing aviation
  
  emissions inventories to measure the efficacy of
  
  efforts to limit or reduce aviation emissions
  
  worldwide has spurred a number of efforts in
  
  the U.S. and Europe to develop robust computer
  
  models capable of assessing aircraft emissions
  
  at local, regional, and global levels. The
  
  present contribution shows both a macro and
  
  micro level example of the types of analyses that
  
  the Federal Aviation Administration?s (FAA)
  
  System for assessing Aviation?s Global
  
  Emissions (SAGE) enables. On the macro level,
  
  examples are given of global inventory
  
  information computed using SAGE. In addition,
  
  a micro-level assessment of fuel burn, emissions
  
  and related costs associated with the 2995 nmi
  
  (Great Circle), New York (JFK)-to-London
  
  (EGLL) origin-destination (O-D) pair is
  
  provided.
  
  We highlight this O-D pair since: (1) it is an
  
  extremely popular trans-oceanic pair, with a
  
  large number of operations; (2) radar-based
  
  aircraft position data from FAA?s Enhanced
  
  Traffic Management System are available for
  
  all flights hence enhancing the confidence of the
  
  analyses; and (3) a variety of aircraft (B747,
  
  B767 and B777), operated by several different
  
  international carriers are represented on this
  
  O-D pair, which highlights the versatility and
  
  robustness of the model. SAGE supports
  
  decision making to manage and mitigate
  
  aviation fuel consumption and emissions,
  
  thereby enabling the sustained growth of this
  
  critical mode of transportation.
