Emissions rules likely to take center stage at ICAO conference
It may sound unreal, but it seems likely that future pilots could use a takeoff checklist sequence that reads “V1, rotate, V2, gear, climb power, check NOx

It may sound unreal, but it seems likely that future pilots could use a takeoff checklist sequence that reads “V1, rotate, V2, gear, climb power, check NOx, CO2, noise, flaps…”

While we currently can’t display the values of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and noise on the flight deck, engineers are likely working on it, because those values are direct measurements of our “environmental footprints” and could well become critical future yardsticks of aircraft performance.
