Abstract:

This report documents work done to enhance terminal area aircraft performance modeling in the Federal

Aviation Administration's Aviation Environmental Design Tool. A commercially available aircraft

performance software tool was used to develop data in a form usable by the Aviation Environmental Design

Tool. These data were compared to actual aircraft performance data measured by flight data recorder

systems. The terminal area fuel consumption data was shown to average about 2% different from the

measured fuel consumption for departures and about 5% different for arrivals.
