查了一下wiki，CDA就是“Continuous Descent Arrivals”或者“Continuous Descent Approach”，就是从TOD点或指定高度之后，飞机一直保持大约3度的角度（应该是下降梯度的意思吧），直到截获ILS落地。油门始终保持在慢车位。这种下降方法也称为Optimized Profile Descent (OPD)。这种运行方法的目的是为了减少耗油和减少噪音。过去，人们认为CDA在繁忙机场是很能实现的。现在随着导航技术和飞机性能的提高，国际上几大机场已经开始使用了，比如London Heathrow Airport、Los Angeles International Airport。通告上看5月6日之后大阪就开始试运行了。我个人觉得这种给管制部门找麻烦、航空公司得好处的事情在中国很能推行。
就收到的通告看，CDA要求飞机装有FMS，有特定的空域和进场程序，必须有雷达引导，机组需要在下降前10分钟提出申请，机组需要向管制报告下降开始，管制可以取消或者暂停CDA。不知道以后大阪开始全面实行CDA后，对非CDA的航班会不会有影响。
