Abstract. In the article a new approach for aircraft landing with the presence of the windshear phenomena was presented. The differential-algebraic model with variability constraints was under considerations. To transform the optimal control problem into a nonlinear optimization task, a modified direct shooting method was used. Then, to solve the obtained large-scale nonlinear optimization problem, a barrier method was applied. Moreover, in the proposed optimization-based approach, the variability constraints imposed on the state trajectory were considered directly.
