| Abstract: | This dissertation presents a proposal for new departure and arrival procedures for the most commonly used railways at Malta's International Airport, runway 13 and 31. This was done to reduce the track miles flown by terminal aircraft in order to decrease fuel burn and reduce greenhouse emissions over Malta. The design, following ICAO recommendations, is described in detail. Current practices of aircraft inbound and outbound of popular exit and entry points observed using ADS-B recorded data is also presented in a discussion leading to the identification of gains that could result from flying the proposed arrivals and departures. |
