Potential benefits of Area Navigation (RNAV) to operating costs, airspace capacity, and environmental impact are well known. Unfortunately, several real-world RNAV implementations have underperformed benefits expectations. Integrated procedure design seeks to capitalize on the benefits of RNAV and mitigate some of the effects that reduce benefit. This paper focuses on integrating upstream and downstream constraints into procedure design to achieve this goal. It explains a general methodology for combining techniques, such as diverging departures and Q-routes during route development.
