Method and device for determining and providing a classification, according to their environmental impact, of a plurality of separate aeronautical flights

Abstract

A method for determining and providing a classification, according to their environmental impact, of a plurality of flights including, for each flight, discretization of the trajectory thereof into a plurality of segments, for each segment, determination of the value of the nitrogen oxide emission index, obtaining the quantity of nitrogen oxides emitted on the segment, obtaining the total quantity of nitrogen oxides, by summing the quantities on each segment, conversion of the total quantity into equivalent carbon dioxide using a predetermined metric and determination of a score of environmental impact, and determination and provision of a classification of the plurality of flights, classified by decreasing value of the score.
