COPENHAGEN - AND BEYONDACHIEVING A GLOBAL APPROACH TO REDUCING AVIATION EMISSIONS At Greener Skies 2009 aviation leaders will outline their visionary plans to make aviation greener as they seek a rightful place among industry equals at the world most important climate change forum.

Aviation is responsible for 2% of man-made CO2 emissions worldwide

Industry

G8 and ICAO policy, 50% CO2 reduction by 2050

Emissions Trading System (ETS) EU directives are now in place.

Effecting 2700 air carriers flying to and from Europe

The EU will require details of both Revenue Tonne Kilometers (RTK) and CO2 emissions to be kept by all carriers.

Carbon Footprint

Why is lowering of CO2 relevant?

• ETS will be in effect in Europe as of Jan 1st 2012.• Virtually all airlines flying to, from and within the EU are affected.• The monitoring will start in 2010.• Emissions and tonne-kilometres are monitored.

For the Airline:

• Environmental issues affecting all airlines – (Branding)

• Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is coming

• Fuel cost savings – with training program, it will

• strengthened the airlines saving potential

Why is fuel saving important?

• Fuel costs contributes to a significant amount of airline operating costs, approximately 25-35 %.

• The airline can market is self as a “green airline”.• There is a big demand from society to be as environmental

efficient as possible

What is the potential in an efficient fuel conservation program

Fuel saving or Fuel conservation means managing the operation and conditions of an aircraft to minimise the fuel used on every flight!

How much is a 1 % reduction in fuel worth?

What is the potential in EPT Training & Fuel Saving

Summary:

The potential for the company is to save 3-5 % on their annual fuel costs, in addition, less engine wear will be achieved, which is a significant saver as well.

What can we do Now

Before the introduction of new technology, there is significant Eco improvements Airlines can do with today's technology by introducing fuel saving initiatives in their daily operation.

Strengthening Fuel Saving Behaviour

Why Eco Pilot Training?

An important piece in the Airlines fuel saving strategy

Target customers:

• Smaller and medium sized Operators

• Training must be flexible due very different level of maturity among the Airlines fuel conservation programs

• Fuel cost today per A/C and year:”Charter” 8-10 M Euro”Scheduled” 5-8 M Euro

Training program

Phase 1 commitment

Management Commitment… “Plan for Success”

Key players…

CEO, DFO and Chief pilots

Time frame… 1-3 days with OAA consultants and lecture basis

Phase 1 Phase 1 Briefing

Executive Management decision Top priority… Fuel saving

Flight OperationsA review of ALL Operating Procedure

Review ALL fuel critical areas

Training of employeesChange of culture

Phase 1 Phase 1 Training

• The challenge is to convince all flight crew member that a change in behaviour might be or is needed.

• The aviation business is generally “conservative”, and changes are sometimes met with scepticism.

• Many flight crew members operate and plan their operation like they always have.

to

Phase 2

Course summary “Green Module”

• Flight crew awareness of how to operate the aircraft more fuel efficient

• Lower the operating costs of the airline, more profit to the airline and secure long-term success of the company

• More environmental friendly operation

Phase 2Ground School

Relevant theory will be covered• Economical facts (and ETS if applicable)• Environmental facts• Aircraft performance & aerodynamics• Engine deterioration• Active flight planning

Phase 2Flight Training

Two simulator sessions• Focusing on a fuel efficient operation during

different LOFT sessions• How to conduct a more fuel efficient flight

operation• Convince pilots that efficient flying can make a

difference

Phase 3

Consultation and follow up performed 3 times in the first year

Since all customers will require a unique solution in phase 3, a very flexible solution will most likely be tailored in each particular case.

Phase 3

Summary of the activities in Phase 3

• To ensure that the airline continue to work with the program in a day-to-day operations and are informing involved personnel about the results.

• To monitor the progress of the program, with regard to specific Key Performance Indicators and solve any issues that might need further clarification.

• External operational expertise is offered via Parc Aviation on demand for line training, line checks etc.

The “Good example”

Some airlines have focused on these important issues in the last 2-3 years.

In general, they have had some fuel saving campaign running, affecting the whole company.

One European operator among others reports an improved fuel efficiency of 4%, an North American operator reports an improved fuel efficiency of 5%.

A flight from Stockholm to Berlin with a Twin jet operation, with a fuel burn of 3500 kg, some examples of fuel savings initiatives (hard):

Five minutes less APU usage 11 kgSingle engine taxiing for 10 minutes 58 kgTake-off with packs off 3 kgAcceleration altitude 800 ft instead of 1500 ft 24 kgOptimum speed with a lowered Cost Index 50 kgLanding with partial flap setting 8 kgIdle reverse on landing 15 kgEngine wash program 20 kgWeight reduction 500 kg (fuel or equipment) 15 kgRemoval of external dirt accumulation 29 kg

233 kg (6,6% of the fuel burn)

The “Good example”

…the Good example (soft):

An active flight crew chasing 1 min of short cuts 45 kgFlying optimum altitudes at all times 66 kgAlways enter winds aloft in FMS/FMGS 45 kgA Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) 50 kg

Σ206 kg (5.9% of burn)

Total “hard+soft” = 439 kg (12.5%) of burnConclusion: Every kilo counts on every flight…..

Generic business case

• Charter Operator (small) with 10 A320 • Estimate 6 crew per A/C = 60 crew• Yearly fuel cost 8 x 10M€ = € M80

Savings potentional 4-6% = € M 3-5/ year

Extra direct mandatory investment needed for the Operator on market price should give a Return of investment of less than 12 months

So, we do not only train pilots

but:
