Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design new departure and arrival procedures for the SF Bay area Terminal Radar Approach Control in a NextGen environment with five anticipated new vehicles (very light jets (VLJ), cruise-efficient short take-off and landing (CESTOL), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), civil tiltrotor (CTR), and supersonic transport (SST)), and to provide a foundation to assess the impact of developed procedures on the Bay Area air transportation system performance.
