Abstract:

This paper presents a discussion about risks and
hazards of potential wake vortex encounters in the en-route
airspace. High-fidelity simulations under realistic conditions have
been analysed showing that the current en-route separation
standards may be overconservative in some cases –thus enabling
a potential reduction that may lead to additional airspace
capacity–, whereas may not protect enough in some specific
situations, thus requiring additional protection for flights. The
simulation framework developed in the R-WAKE project, a
SESAR 2020 Exploratory Research project, has been used to
identify and characterise the suspected hazard areas (SHA) that
flights should avoid under certain conditions if they are crossing
a piece of airspace after another flight. A large number of
simulations were performed to generate the SHAs, resulting
from the combination of different: a) separation distances; b)
aircraft types (including realistic masses and cruise speeds); c)
altitudes and atmospheric conditions; and d) relative encounter
geometries (horizontal and vertical). This study can support the
development of new separation standards aimed at increasing
airspace capacity and safety. |
