Helicopters frequently operate in difficult terrain and at different speeds to other airspace users. Procedures to help pilots navigate more accurately improve safety by reducing workload and providing more flexibility. By introducing advanced approach and departure procedures in the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA), SESAR is looking at improving safety at airports with mixed traffic modes, especially in adverse weather.
Partners in the Enhanced Arrivals and Departures project are organising a virtual visitor's day to present the solution addressing advanced rotorcraft operations in the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA) (SESAR PJ.01-W2-06 Solution #06).
