MITRE/CAASD to host Continuous Descent Arrival (CDA) event at KATLOn Saturday, September 27, 2008, MITRE/CAASD will host its fourth event on the VATSIM network from 8-11 PM EDT (0000Z - 0300Z). The event will take place at Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport (KATL) and will focus on a Continuous Descent Arrival (CDA) that is currently being tested by real-world pilots and controllers in Atlanta. CDAs are a new breed of Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) that allow aircraft to calculate an optimized top of descent in order to eliminate level flight and minimize fuel burn while descending. An in-depth briefing including more information about CDAs and comprehensive pilot/controller training material can be found at http://www.mitrecaasd.org/vatsim. As with all CAASD hosted events, prizes will be awarded to several participants, so grab your favorite FMS and join us in the skies above KATL for this exciting new event!
