Mission

The Sourdine II project will produce the following results:
1. Implementation Strategy for advanced environmental friendly approach and departure procedures and supporting aircraft/ATC systems
2. Validation methodology for procedure/system development
3. Improved noise modelling tools for the validation of new procedures with respect to noise

In addition, the Sourdine II consortium and expert panel will provide a wide involvement of all stakeholders. This has the potential to generate sufficient commitment for the European (or world) wide implementation of the harmonised and optimised approach and departure procedures.

More detailed information can be found in the executive summary of the proposal
