Our paper describes a newly developed method for imposing a special type of path constraints with respect to the position of an aircraft within the optimization of approach trajectories. Interior point conditions forcing the trajectory to pass a number of locations are reformulated as path constraints, thus omitting the introduction of additional phases. Considering standardized airport approach procedures, the aircraft have to remain inside a vertical and horizontal corridor. In order to incorporate such a corridor into the optimization of approach trajectories, a centerline in form of a polynomial of a certain degree running through the given waypoints is established. A differential equation is formulated that directly gives the shortest distance between the position of the aircraft and the centerline of the corridor. Then, inequality path constraints are imposed so that the lateral and the vertical deviation of the aircraft from the centerline is bounded and the trajectory optimization tasks can be accomplished in accordance with the standardized approach procedures. A point-mass simulation model based on the BADA database published by EUROCONTROL is utilized as basis for the optimization of the approach trajectories. The objective that is to be minimized is the total amount of fuel consumed during the approach.
