Abstract

With the introduction of the carbon emission cost system initiated by the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation(CORSIA), the improvement of fuel efficiency in flight operations will have higher impact on airline profitability than before. In-flight fuel consumption is somewhat influenced by pilots’ technical actions when maneuvering aircraft during flight. This study investigated pilots’ recognition and implementation of fuel efficient aircraft controls. The required data were collected using a survey on a sample of pilots from multiple airlines. This survey examined their awareness of fuel saving measures and the implementation of those measures during flight operations. The data were analyzed via Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA). It was determined that pilots recognized the cruise phase to have the highest potential fuel savings with shortcut route selections. Power idle descents were considered second in terms of fuel saving potential. On the other hand, the pilots did not significantly recognize or implement factors related to operations on the ground.

航空公司飞行员对节油行动的看法和实施

摘要

随着国际航空碳抵消和减排计划(CORSIA)发起的碳排放成本体系的引入,航班运营燃油效率的提高对航空公司盈利能力的影响将比以往更大。飞行中的燃油消耗在一定程度上受到飞行员在飞行中操纵飞机时的技术动作的影响。这项研究调查了飞行员对燃油效率飞机控制的认识和实施。所需数据是通过对多家航空公司飞行员样本的调查收集的。该调查考察了他们对节油措施的认识以及在飞行操作期间这些措施的实施情况。通过层次分析法(AHP)和重要性-绩效分析(IPA)对数据进行分析。确定飞行员认为巡航阶段通过选择捷径路线可以最大程度地节省燃油。就节省燃料的潜力而言,动力怠速下降被认为是第二位的。另一方面,飞行员并没有明显认识到或实施与地面操作相关的因素。
