3D reference path GLS Ground station

To make the best use of satellite navigation capabilities for approach and landing.


A380 - RNP Approaches

To cope with the problems of:

Airspace and airport saturation

Environmental issues (noise, overflight)

Obstacle issues.

For aircraft such as the A380 which have sufficiently high navigation accuracy, RNP approaches will allow:

Reduced separation between aircraft in RNP environment

Straight in / segmented / curved approach operation

Approach minimum adapted to the navigation performance of the airplane.

• Energy awareness displays

• Turbulence detection and mitigation

On-going Studies


On-going Studies - Take Off Monitoring

Before Take-off: To independently verify planned configuration and thrust settings.

During Take-off: To detect anomalies early so as to abort take off in low energy conditions.

Weight and CG error monitoring

Slat, flap, pitch trim setting

Power and bleed selection

Acceleration monitoring

Visual and oral warning

Monitors the distance to reach the speed

expected for the nominal theoretical acceleration profile


On-going Studies - High Energy Approach Monitoring

To assist aircrew in achieving stabilized approach conditions from high energy situation.

Predicted aircraft position at runway elevation and on flight plan trajectory is displayed on the ND, assuming best achievable descent path

LFBO

33R

ND: Navigation Display

If predicted position is before the runway, stabilized approach conditions are achievable.

If not, the aircraft is “too high or too fast” and stabilized approach conditions not recoverable; alert provided.


On-going Studies - Atmospheric Turbulence Mitigation

To pre-warn pilots of areas of atmospheric turbulence and to mitigate their effects on the aircraft.

To ensure a smooth ride to the traveller.

Early detection of turbulence in clouds, and soon, clear air

Alleviation of structural loads on the aircraft through the use of turbulence-damping flight control laws

Cabin new safety devices for passenger seats and trolleys


On-going Studies - Auto Pull-Up to avoid terrain

Provides a progressive and automatic pull-up in case of a late or no reaction from the crew to a terrain warning.

Caution/Alert provided by Terrain Warning System (TAWS)

Time delay to allow for pilot reaction

If no pilot reaction the autopilot will initiate an automatic pull-up in time to avoid the terrain / obstacle.

« Terrain ahead »

« Pull up »

TAWS: Terrain Awareness & Warning System



Conclusion

The A320 introduced a radical advance in cockpit design

The A380 represents a similar leap forward

Development work continues which will benefit both future and existing Airbus aircraft
