Through the Center of Excellence (CoE) KDC wants to intensify the cooperation with universities and colleges. Initially, a collaboration has started between the Aviation Academy, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) and the Technical University (TU) Delft. The KDC is open to work with other parties in line with their objective: air traffic control, aircraft […]
Read MoreI 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 […]

Read MorePlease 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. […]

Read MoreGreater 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 […]
Read MoreQueue 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 […]
