2. Description of the Method used The method followed to produce the raw data used in the 1.A.3.a Aviation annex 1 2016a.zip accompanying the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2016 is described in Figure 2-A and consist of the following steps: 1. Determination of the flights data sample: This includes the identification of the aircraft types to be modelled, and for each of them to determine its associated engine(s) and the maximum stage length that this aircraft type usually fly. 2. Determination of a trajectory for each aircraft type selected in Step 1 and for each stage length this aircraft type can fly by applying an aircraft performance model. 3. Determination of the mass of fuel burnt and the masses of emissions of each aircraft type, and for the different engines with which they can be equipped, for each stage length, and from gate to gate. Data sample Aircraft type Flights Stage length Cruise flight level Performance model Flights trajectories Emissions model Flights Fuel burn and emissions Figure 2-A: Method followed to produce the raw data This method relies on the use of two main EUROCONTROL environmental impact assessment tools: 1. The IMPACT modelling platform, and 2. The Advanced Emission Modelling (AEM) model. These tools have been recognised by the ICAO CAEP Working groups. They are compliant with the recommended practises as published by ICAO (see References [1] and [2]) and they provide the solutions to the objectives of the experiments. Edition: 1.0 Released Issue Page 11

2.1 Determination of the flights data sample The determination of the flight data sample is done by: 1. Selecting a set of aircraft types to model; 2. Determining the maximum stage lengths for a specific aircraft type; 3. Determining the cruise flight level for a specific aircraft type / stage length. 2.1.1 Selecting the aircraft types to model The EUROCONTROL PRISME database stores information about air traffic movements in the ECAC area flying IFR. It has been decided to select, from the PRISME database, the aircraft types that represent 99% of the flight movements in the ECAC area in 2014. It has to be noted that, in PRISME, each aircraft type selected represents in fact a certain range of variants using different engine types with similar performances. For example: The aircraft type ATR42 is used for ATR42-310, ATR42-500, ATR42-600, etc. Furthermore, each selected aircraft type can be categorised by an ICAO aircraft type designator as defined in the reference document ICAO Aircraft Type Designators [4]. For example: The ICAO code SBR1 represents the aircraft types SAB60 (Sabreliner 60), SAB65 (Sabreliner 65), among others. The aircraft type is used to find fuel burn/emissions data and performance data in reference databases. When this aircraft type is not referenced, a proxy can be identified to enable the modelling of the aircraft trajectory and the estimation of the fuel burnt and the emissions. For example: the aircraft type A306 can be modelled by an A300-622R in ANP V2.0, an A300B4-622 in BADA4.1, and an A306 in AEM2.5.3. 2.1.2 Determining the maximum operated/operable stage length In the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2016, the stage length has been defined as the great circle distance to be flown between the end of the ICAO LTO departure phase and the beginning of the ICAO LTO arrival phase, which corresponds to the trajectory flown with an altitude QNH greater or equal to 3000ft in ISA conditions (see Figure 2-B). Altitude Climb/Cruise/Descent (CCD) Aircraft altitude >= 3000ft 3000 ft Departure Airport STAGE LENGTH Landing and Take Off (LTO) Aircraft altitude < 3000ft Destination Airport Figure 2-B: Stage length schematic Page 12 Released Issue Edition: 1.0

The reference stage lengths chosen for the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2016 are: 125Nm, 200Nm, 250Nm, 500Nm, 750Nm, 1000Nm, 1500Nm, 2000Nm, 2500Nm, 3000Nm, 3500Nm, 4000Nm, 4500Nm, 5000Nm, 5500Nm, 6000Nm, 6500Nm, 7000Nm, 7500Nm, and 8000Nm. For economic reasons or due to their performance envelope, some of the aircraft types selected are not operated or cannot be operated on some of the reference stage lengths listed above. The maximum reference stage operated by a specific aircraft type was determined by querying the EUROCONTROL PRISME database or by using the declared maximum operation range as provided by the manufacturer. 2.1.3 Determining cruise flight levels For each selected aircraft type the average cruise flight level corresponding to each reference stage length to be modelled was determined by querying the PRISME database or by using the optimum flight level as provided by the aircraft manufacturers. 2.2 Determination of a trajectory The trajectory calculator implements a point mass model, relying on both the ANP and the BADA performance data. The calculation method (Figure 2-C) is further described below. Cruise speed Optimal cruise level management BADA 3 & BADA 4 Performances Altitude Climb at constant Mach/CAS 3 Descent at constant Mach/CAS 3000 ft Departure profile < 10000 ft Arrival profile < 6000 ft ANP Performances LTO Phases < 3000 ft LTO Phases < 3000 ft Figure 2-C: Trajectory modelling 2.2.1 BADA Total Energy Model (TEM) implementation above 6000ft/10000ft BADA is an Aircraft Performance Model developed and maintained by EUROCONTROL, in cooperation with aircraft manufacturers and operating airlines. BADA is based on a kinetic approach to aircraft performance modelling, which enables aircraft trajectories and the associated fuel consumption to be accurately predicted. BADA includes both model specifications that provide the theoretical fundamentals to calculate aircraft performance parameters and the datasets containing aircraft-specific coefficients required to calculate their trajectories. Edition: 1.0 Released Issue Page 13

The BADA 3 family is today s industry standard for aircraft performance modelling in the nominal part of the flight envelope, and provides close to 100% coverage of aircraft types operating in the ECAC region. The latest BADA 4 family provides increased levels of precision in aircraft performance parameters over the entire flight envelope, and covers 70% of aircraft types operating in the ECAC region. In the CCD portion (more precisely from 10,000ft in the climb phase, and down to 6,000ft in the descent phase), the trajectory calculator of IMPACT uses the BADA 4 data, in conjunction with a full implementation of the BADA Total Energy Model (TEM). When BADA 4 performance data do not exist yet for a given aircraft type, its BADA 3 performance data is used. 2.2.2 Use of ANP data to calculate trajectories below 6000ft/10000ft The IMPACT trajectory calculator uses the aircraft performance coefficients of the ANP database - in conjunction with the aircraft performance calculation method provided in ECAC Doc. 29 [6] and ICAO Doc 9911 [5] - to model aircraft trajectories within the TMA portion (more precisely below 10,000ft for departure and below 6000ft for arrivals). The reasons for adopting this approach are twofold: The use of ANP data in conjunction with the aircraft performance calculation method described in the above-mentioned guidance documents constitutes the current best modelling practice for airport noise assessments and is often part of legal requirements (ex: the END 2002/49 of the EC) BADA, even in its latest version (BADA 4 family) provides engine coefficients for the MaxTakeoff ratings (used during the initial climb segments) only for a very limited number of aircraft types (unlike ANP). The aircraft mass at the take-off is determined by the selected ANP aircraft model. 2.2.3 Optimal cruise management The IMPACT trajectories tries to find the trajectory that will allow each aircraft to reach the optimal cruise flight level entered as an input. Depending on the aircraft type and the stage length, the pre-determined optimal cruise level might be too high to be reached directly at the end of the climb phase. In that case, a new intermediate and reachable optimal cruise level is calculated. The aircraft continues its cruise at this flight level until its weight enables it to reach the next best suitable flight level, with a maximum offset of 2000 ft. This process is repeated until the maximum optimum cruise level is reached. The aim of this implementation is to model, as closely as possible, the real life operational management of aircraft in economic mode, when pilots require successive flight levels to Air Traffic Controllers.

2.3 Determination of the mass of fuel burnt and the masses of emissions 2.3.1 Model principles The Advanced Emission Model (AEM) is used to calculate the emissions (CO 2, water vapour [H 2 O], SO X, NO X, hydrocarbons [HC], CO, volatile organic compounds [VOCs], total organic gases [TOGs]) and fuel burn of aircraft based on precise flight profile information which is combined with more detailed information about aircraft fuel flow and specific engine emissions both for the LTO and CCD flight phases. The emissions for the H 2 O and CO 2 pollutants are a direct result of the oxidation process of the carbon and hydrogen contained in the fuel with the oxygen contained in the atmosphere. The SOx emissions depend directly on the sulphur content of the fuel used. All three are directly proportional to the mass of fuel burnt Benzene emissions, as well as other VOC, TOG and all pollutants derived from VOC-TOG, are proportional to the HC emissions. The emissions of particulate matter (PM) are calculated by using the First Order Approximation method as described by the ICAO Doc 9889 [2]. AEM links each aircraft appearing in the input traffic sample to one of the engines in the ICAO Engine Exhaust Emissions Data Bank or another emission database. Figure 2-D: ICAO LTO and CCD cycles Edition: 1.0 Released Issue Page 15

Below 3000 ft: LTO flight phases Below 3000 ft, the fuel burn calculation is based on the LTO cycle defined by the ICAO Engine Certification specifications. The ICAO LTO cycle covers four engine operation modes, (see Figure 2-E) which are used in AEM to model the six following phases of operation: (1) Taxi-Out, (2) Take- Off, (3) Climb-Out, (7) Approach, (8) Landing (Approach), and (9) Taxi-In. Phase(s) Engine mode Thrust setting 1 Idle 7% 2 Take off 100% 3 Climb out 85% 7 and 8 Approach 30% 9 Idle 7% Figure 2-E: ICAO LTO and CCD cycles four engine operation modes The rate that fuel is burnt at each defined thrust level (7%, 30%, 85%, and 100%) derived from the data stored in a number of aircraft engine emissions database, one such database is the ICAO Engine Exhaust Emissions Data Bank [3], which includes fuel burn rate and CO, HC and NOx associated emission indices [g/kg of fuel burnt] for a very large number of aircraft. Other emissions associated with the amount of fuel burnt are CO 2, H 2 O, SOx and PM. For the VOCs and TOGs, the emission indices are given in terms of the amount of HC emitted. Once the amount of fuel burnt in a LTO phase is known, the associated emissions can be calculated by multiplying the amount of fuel burnt (for CO,HC, NOx, CO 2, H 2 O and SOx) or of HC (for the VOCs and TOGs) in that LTO phase by the relevant emission index. Above 3000 ft: CCD flight phases Above 3000 ft, the fuel burn calculation is based on the BADA performance values. This database provides altitude- and attitude-dependent performance and fuel burn data for more than 150 aircraft types. Most of the emission calculations are based on the ICAO Engine Exhaust Emissions Data Bank indices, but emission factors and fuel flow are adapted to the atmospheric conditions at altitude by using a method initially developed by The Boeing Company (The Boeing Fuel Flow Method 2 BFFM2) and modified by the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC-BFFM2). EEC-BFFM2 makes it possible to estimate emissions for the NOx, HC, and CO pollutants. Page 16 Released Issue Edition: 1.0

IMPACT are processed with AEM kernel, which calculates the fuel burnt and emissions. Below 3000 feet, the fuel burnt is provided by the ICAO Engine exhaust database fuel flow, based on the ICAO LTO times in phase: 1140 seconds for Taxi out:, 42 seconds for Take-off, 132 seconds for Climb out, 200 seconds for Approach, 40 seconds for Landing, and 420 seconds for Taxi in. 2.3.3 CCD emissions adjustment The modelling of the performance of different aircraft types between the same two airports induces minor differences of stage lengths. The consequence is that the distance of flight which concerns the CCD portion of the flight differs from one aircraft type to another (see Figure 2-G), and de facto the basis for the fuel burn and emission calculation. AC 1 AC 2 Altitude AC 3 3000 ft Departure Airport Stage length AC3 Stage length AC2 Destination Airport Stage length AC1 Reference Stage Length Figure 2-G: aircraft types versus stage lengths This difference is greater for short stage lengths than for longer ones (see Figure 2-H), on average of the aircraft types, because of the range of very different performances of short-range flights (from single piston engines to heavy jets). It can be noticed that this relative difference is less than 8.6% in the worst case (125Nm for BE60). For stage lengths above 500 Nm, it is reduced below 2.5%. It is then assumed that the CCD fuel burnt and emissions can be calculated by extrapolating the fuel burn and emissions values for each aircraft real stage length to the reference stage length. As an example, we have then, for a given reference stage length (Ref. Stage Length) and aircraft type: Fuel burnt (Ref. Stage length) = Fuel burnt (CCD distance) * Ref. Stage length / CCD distance It is the same for the calculated emissions. Page 18 Released Issue Edition: 1.0
