Among the various strategies and mitigation methods, an important aspect is the development of optimal operational profiles. Due to the large number of variables which can affect aviation environmental metrics, it is often infeasible or impractical to model all parameters of an operational profile in a comprehensive manner. This research performs a comprehensive analysis by modeling a full-factorial Design of Experiments based on a set of parameters and by visualizing the results to analyze the influence of each parameter on various environmental metrics. The identification of this influence of parameters should help subsequent research by making it feasible to efficiently model operations and evaluate their environmental impacts.
