ASSESSMENT OF AIRCRAFT EMISSIONS DURING LANDING AND TAKE-OFF (LTO) CYCLES AT GALEÃO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, RIO DE JANEIRO¶
Abstract¶
RECENT STUDIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN CIVIL AVIATION SHOW SPECIFIC INTEREST IN THE IMPACTS OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANT EMISSIONS FROM THE LANDING AND TAKE-OFF CYCLES OF AIRCRAFT (LTO) NEAR AIRPORTS. THESE IMPACTS ARE MORE WORRISOME AT AIRPORTS SURROUNDED BY A DENSE URBAN OCCUPATION. ALTHOUGH INTERNATIONAL ENTITIES ALREADY HAVE METHODOLOGIES FOR EVALUATING EMISSIONS, THERE IS A NEED TO EXPAND THE CASE STUDIES TO DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD TO DISCUSS THE VARIOUS FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE POLLUTANT EMISSIONS AND TO DEFINE THE BEST ACTIONS TO MITIGATE UNWANTED EFFECTS IN EACH CASE. TRAFFIC INTENSITY, AIRCRAFT MIX, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND WEATHER ARE AMONG THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER. THE BRAZILIAN CASE IS QUITE CRITICAL, SINCE MOST OF ITS LARGE AIRPORTS ARE IN DENSE URBAN NETWORKS, WHICH IMPLIES A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION BEING AFFECTED BY CIVIL AVIATION ACTIVITY. THIS PAPER ESTIMATES THE EMISSIONS OF LTO CYCLES IN AN AIRPORT OF GREAT RELEVANCE IN THE BRAZILIAN SCENARIO AND DISCUSSES THE RESULTS IN FACE OF ITS CAUSATIVE ELEMENTS, COMPARING THEM WITH THE RESULTS OF STUDIES FROM OTHER AIRPORTS AROUND THE WORLD. RESULTS SHOW RELEVANT ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN ACTIONS TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF EMISSIONS FROM LTO CYCLES AND RESEARCH GAPS IN THE LITERATURE.
