Sažetak
With the increase in the number of flights and in accordance with the expansion of airports, air traffic is becoming a serious problem of the present times. In spite of the tendency to integrate maximally air traffic into all the ecological aspects, one of the main problems today is the noise generated by aircraft engines. These engines generate vortex, exhaust gases at high speeds, whereas in supersonic aircraft there is the additional thunder due to the impact waves produced during take-off and landing of the aircraft. The aircraft noise-related problems will have to be solved by certain alternatives, such as the replacement of the existing aircraft fleet by new generations of aircraft or by fitting the aircraft with hush-kits and other special parts or by using new, alternative procedures in landing and taking off. This paper will deal with procedure model of Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) on Zagreb Airport. Due to the expansion of the city and nearby villages, implementation of such a system on Zagreb Airport could be cost efficient for the airport itself as well as for the airlines that use the airport. It would reduce the bad influence of noise on human health in those, ecologically critical surroundings. Apart from noise reduction, the usage of this system would decrease fuel consumption of aircrafts which would directly reduce exploitation costs of an aircraft.
