In this paper we apply the commonly used model predictive control as the real-time optimal control for an aircraft arrival flight considering its nonlinear dynamics and constraints. Due to the technological improvement of optimization solvers, optimal control theory is applied in the Trajectory Based Operation analysis to achieve safe and efficient operations via trajectory optimization. In these applications, a proper formulation is required. For this work, we consider that the three-dimensional path constraint translated to the flight path coordinates uses the actual arrival route. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the conventional aircraft can fly by the model predictive control from the initial position to the final position with decreasing the airspeed and altitude as a Continuous Descent Operation without violating the given constraints with or without the influence of the wind.
