Operational Aspects of Vertical Navigation during the Approach Phase of Flight: CDA vs. Conventional Step-Down Approach
The continuous descent approach (CDA) is an operational technique used by aircraft when descending from cruise altitude; the aim is to minimize thrust and thereby avoid horizontal flight segments. CDA involves vertical navigation calculations that modify flight trajectory according to altitude; thes...
