In order to establish the RNAV performance of aircraft in a TMA environment, a data collection was carried out in the Zurich TMA. 352 tracks of aircraft entering and in holding were retained for statistical analysis. A difference in track-keeping performance between pilot directed and automatically flown holdings and entries was observed. However, the overall occupancy of airspace during the holdings did not significantly vary. DC10 aircraft used the largest amount of airspace. The results of this and other TMA studies will be used to define the accuracy requirements for TMA operations which will then be included in the EUROCONTROL Standard on Area Navigation.
