Research challenges examining normal operations Joris Field, NLR
Research Challenges
• Confirming underlying theories • Putting workgroup conclusions to the test • Developing & testing new practices
Why research?
• Realistic responses • Non-normal responses
Normal operations – easy?
Research supports Operational Expertise

Normal Ops: Go-Around
Weather forecast – showers in the area
From 1000 ft: 30 kt tailwind introduced • Visible on ND • Unstable airspeed • A/T compensates
Heavy rain at Decision Height • Visibility reduces • Lose runway visual
