The ERAT project
The EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) partcipates in the ERAT project, which is a component of the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).

ERAT is an acronym for Environmentally Responsible Air Transport.

ERAT is a three-year study to identify, develop, integrate and validate operational measures that reduce the environmental impact of the air transport operation in the terminal phases of flight.

Project objective

The objective of the ERAT project is to develop operational solutions to reduce the impact of air traffic on the environment in the vicinity of airports.

The purpose is to minimise the noise and emissions that result from air traffic in the airport TMA (terminal manoeuvring area), while permitting an increase of (or at least no adverse effects to) airport capacity.

Isolated solutions developed in related research projects such as Sourdine II and OPTIMAL, as well as new solutions, are combined into a concept of operations.
