Due to the limitations of ground facilities and ATC technology, the existing departure and arrival procedures usually adopt the procedures of step climbing and descent. The level flight process increases the operational cost for the aircraft, especially during the climbing phase where a maximum thrust is needed. Trajectory-based operation (TBO) provides a solution to improve the efficiency of flight procedures. The addition of four-dimensional trajectory with time dimension improves the predictability of aircraft operation. Before it is widely used, it is of great significance to evaluate economic benefits. In this research, a method of economic evaluation of continuous climb program (CCO) is proposed. The CCO model is built by using aircraft performance data, and then the fuel cost and time cost are calculated and analyzed based on the cost index (CI). Through the simulation analysis of specific paths, the result shows that CCO procedure has a significant improvement in economy compared with the traditional climb, which is helpful for the future implementation of new air traffic control service.
