12.2.2 Objectives & Solution

Safely reduce wake vortex separations for arrival &

departures

Define, analyse, develop and verify a Wake Vortex Decision

Support System (WVDSS)

� satisfying 6.8.1 operational concept

� delivering position & strengh of wake vortices

� predicting wake vortices behavior and impact on safety & capacity

� advising stakeholders (ATCOs, Supervisors, …)

WVDSS Handling & Processing

� Weather & surveillance informations, airport specific climatological

conditions, aircraft characteristics, runways layout

WVDSS able to bring solutions to Wake Vortex concerns,

taking into account airport infrastructure, layout and weather

conditions

4 /4 /13


12.2.2 phases

WVDSS built in three iterative phases dealing with the three

steps of the SESAR Concept Story Board

� TBS (Time Based Separation) –step 1

� Acquisition and processing of information about position, strength and behavior of

wake vortex in case of significant headwind

� WDS (Weather Dependant Separation) –step 2

� Real time assessment of wake vortex position, strength; and prediction of wake

vortex behavior to allow separation reduction; depending on weather conditions

� PWS (Pair Wise Separation) –step 3

� Demonstration of the system capacity to dynamically deliver separation per aircraft

pairs; requires aircraft characteristics database (generation of wake vortex, sensitivity

to wake vortex). Customization to different airports and runways configurations

� WVDSS is an enabler for validation of operational concept

WVDSS pragmatic & iterative development

WVDSS able to optimize runways throughput and reduce

delays on different kind of airports as well as to be adapted

to several runway configurations
