This study estimates and compares the fuel savings |
|
potential of each of five fuel conservation ideas which, |
|
if adopted, would require significant changes to the |
|
Federal Air Regulations or in the way the air traffic |
|
control system operates. The five ideas are (1) absorb |
|
landing delays before leaving en route airspace, (2) |
|
permit cleaner, higher speed approach and landing |
|
procedures, (3) lower the altitude restriction on the 250 |
|
knot speed limit in TCAs, (4) increase the number of |
|
flight levels above 29,000 feet, and (5) eliminate fixed |
|
cruise or crossing altitude restrictions. Comparative |
|
estimates of the fuel-saving potential of each of these |
|
ideas are developed, both on a per-flight basis and on an |
|
annual national basis. For three of the more promising |
|
ideas, the potential implementation problems and possible |
|
solutions are identified and explored. (Author) |
