Follow the ghost Merging helps guide traffic to the correct routes. This applies to Dutch motorways but it also applies to our airspace. To develop smooth merging of air traffic the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) conducted the Traffic Merging Support for Schiphol Approach project from August 2016 to January 2017 in close conjunction with LVNL.

I see, I see… Air traffic controllers predict the future using the Trajectory Manager The aircraft makes a smooth descent towards the runway. At the correct altitude, making the least possible noise for local residents. It’s not that difficult. Any modern aircraft can do it. At least, they can as long as there are no other […]

Please don’t let the bridge be open… Dealing with uncertainties in arrival times Great! The sun’s shining. One more sip of coffee and you jump on your bike. There are many benefits to cycling to work: Fresh air, a healthy dose of exercise and no traffic jams! Yet your arrival time is not 100% predictable. […]

Greater runway capacity thanks to shorter distances Tailgating. An irritating and dangerous habit on the roads. This doesn’t happen in the air. Aircraft need a safe distance from one another. If the second aircraft is too close behind the first, it can be affected by wake turbulence. That’s why a minimum distance is prescribed between […]

Queue here! How do we manage 500,000 aircraft manoeuvres in 2020? Statistics don’t lie. Air traffic has increased dramatically over the past couple of years. In 2015, over 450,000 aircraft took off and landed at Schiphol. This figure will rise to 475,000 in 2016. We expect the number of aircraft manoeuvres to grow to 500,000 […]
