Information brochure on CDA - The effects of aircraft noise and atmospheric emissions can cause constraints at aerodromes and increase operational costs. The implementation of Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) at airfields is acknowledged as being one method that helps mitigate these problems. Consequently, implementation of harmonised, capacity-friendly versions of the CDA technique can be beneficial to all European ATM system stakeholders and is in demand by aircraft operators.
