摘要

半球规则要求东行航班使用奇数千级飞行高度(FLs),西行航班使用偶数千级飞行高度。虽然这些规则提高了安全性,但它们也可能对飞行效率产生负面影响,例如,减少了可用的可用于提高效率的快速飞行。随着海洋空域监视和通信能力的提高,可以使用不符合半球规则(不符合)的高射线。这篇论文调查了在太平洋空域这样做是否会给航空公司和空中交通管制员带来好处。我们的分析结果喜忧参半。我们发现,随着越来越多的航班接受不符合规定的燃料费,燃油节省将会增加。如果所有航班都接受不符合规定的燃油燃油,奥克兰和安克雷奇飞行情报区(FIR)每年可节省1220万加仑的燃油。根据喷气机a型燃料的价格,这些燃料节省的货币价值从1125万美元到2566万美元不等。然而,我们也发现,每年在两个first内的总旅行时间将增加约2,070飞行小时。此外,空中交通管制员和飞行员的工作量也可能增加,因为越来越多的航班接受不遵守的飞行指令。

Evaluating the Benefits of Accepting Cruising Flight Levels That Are Not in Compliance with the Hemispherical Rules in the Pacific Airspace
The hemispherical rules require that eastbound flights should use odd thousands flight levels (FLs) and westbound flights should use even thousands FLs. Though these rules improve safety, they could also negatively impact flight efficiency by, for example, reducing the available FLs that can be used to improve efficiency. With improved surveillance and communication capabilities in oceanic airspace, it is possible to use the FLs that do not comply with the hemispherical rules (non-complying FLs). The paper investigates whether doing so in the Pacific airspace could bring benefits to airlines and air traffic controllers. Our analysis showed mixed results. We found that fuel savings would increase as more flights accept non-complying FLs. If all flights accept non-complying FLs, the annual total fuel savings could reach 12.2 million gallons within the Oakland and Anchorage Flight Information Region (FIR). Depending on the price of Jet-A fuel, the monetary value of these fuel savings ranges from 11.25 to 25.66 million dollars. However, we also found that the annual total travel time inside the two FIRs would increase by about 2,070 flight hours. In addition, the workload of air traffic controllers and pilots may also increase as more flights accept non-complying FLs.
