After successful MCDP execution in TAP simulators, the MCDP flight campaign started on December 2015, using the new concept for departing from Lisbon runway 03. The provision of the required parameters to perform the MCDP on-board were provided through the MCDP charts. Based on the meteorological conditions (temperature and headwind) and the aircraft TOW, flight crew were able to select from tables the MCDP parameters to be used in the departure operation. On ground, the Noise Monitoring Terminals Network was used for recording acoustic data on the airport surroundings during the MCDP flights. |
