Describes new operational procedures that are expected to be in effect at all terminals served by high performance aircraft by 1979. The profile descent and metering program is a comprehensive air traffic management concept designed to enhance safety and efficiency in air traffic handling, conserve fuel, and reduce noise over airport communities.
