Mitigation studies

Motivation for environmental flight planning is mitigation of aviation climate impact. Hence, REACT4C will contribute on evaluating mitigation effort from environmental flight planning and estimate possible benefit from specific air traffic management measures.

The potential total (global and annual) mitigation gain from environmental flight planning will be computed, and the uncertainties in the mitigation gain from environmental flight planning will be estimated. With simplified mitigation studies the environmental benefit of simplified ATM measures will be quantified. General principles of environmentally-optimized flight for defined timescales and climate effects will be formulated.
