The Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) arrival flows are an important component of overall NAS efficiency and airline costs of operation. The efficiency of TRACON arrival flows is a function of the relative position of the final waypoint on the Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) to the runway threshold, the type of approach (ILS, RNP, VFR), and the arrival vertical and longitudinal profile. A previous research established the presence of 16 unique arrival flows for the main runways (31C, 4R, 22L and 13C) at Midway International Airport (MDW), using 43 days of National Offload Program (NOP) radar track data. This paper uses an aerodynamic fuel burn model to estimate the fuel burn for these flows.
