AOM-0702-A — Continuous Descent Operations (CDO)

Progressive implementation of procedures for CDO in higher density traffic or from higher levels, optimised for each airport arrival procedure, assisted by airspace design which integrates arrival and departure streams.

Rationale
CDO are optimised descents and approaches to an airport from a defined point, without intermediate level offs, with use of minimum required thrust setting, normally idle thrust. Developments promoting increased use of CDO, involving PRNAV procedures and appropriate available sequencing tools, allow their use even in high density traffic situations.
