Abstract :
█ Operational efficiencies — Advancing separation standards is key to future gains █ Various separation standard concepts have been proposed/validated █ EoR Approach Concept — Defines final approach course commencing on downwind leg of RNP/RNAV procedure █ Continuous course guidance to join the extended runway centerline █ Application of standard radar separation no longer required when joining █ RVFP Operations — RVFP procedures for initial operational demonstrations of the EoR concept at ATL █ Two designs with downwind-to-final turns using either RF leg or segmented TF leg construction — All operations that initiated the turn remained established (no NTZ entry observed) █ Evaluation of RVFP Operations — Preliminary results. Limited data sets each containing less than 1,000 operations — Fits to empirical dispersion distributions provide initial characterizations of navigation performance
