Next Generation Air Transportation System
Vision 100 - Century of Aviation Reauthorization ActPL 108-176 passed in 2003
• Transform Air Transportation System
• Unique Coalition of Public and Private Partnerships
• Develop and integrated plan to “..ensure that theNext Generation Air Transportation System
meets air transportation safety, security, mobility, efficiency, and capacity needs beyond those currently included in the FAA’s Operational Evolution Plan.” (emphases added)

Area Navigation/Required Navigation PerformanceRNAV/RNP
• RNAV/RNP = Performance Based Navigation (PBN)
• RNAV– Fully utilize capabilities of ground/space/onboard equipment– Fly any desired route – no need to go fix-to-fix (VOR-to-VOR)
• RNP – builds on RNAV– Alerts when desired performance is not met– Performance expressed as RNP X, (X = 95% accuracy in nmi)
• Benefits– Reduced fuel/emissions/delays– SAFE separation reduction – other a/c, air space, ground obstacles– Curved Paths

System Wide Information Management (SWIM)
Purpose
• Migrate applications toward a loosely coupled, open-distributed processing environment
• Expose data to both new and legacy applications
• Support interoperability
• Reduce unique interfaces and COST

ADS-B in the Gulf of Mexico
• Partnership – Helicopter operators– Helicopter Association International– Oil/natural gas companies– FAA
• 10,000 people daily; 3,800 oil platforms
• Separation: 5 nmi vs 20x20 nmi “boxes”
• Significant $$$ savings

IEEE NJ Coast ChapterMay 19, 2010 38Federal Aviation
Administration
Purpose
Demonstrate Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) operational capabilities in a complex airspace
• Combine on-board RNAV/RNP functionality (receiver) with GBAS for improved straight-in and curved path capabilities for approach & landing to all runway ends
• Solve airspace congestion issues
• Build user base - controller & pilot operational experience
• Reduce airspace separation between current New York Area Airports for more independent operations, including closely spaced parallel runways
• “Lessons Learned” applied to other locations

Overview• Government Industry Partnership
– Federal Aviation Administration– The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
– Continental Airlines (multiple B737-800 NG aircraft)– Honeywell (ground system)
• Boeing – Aircraft technical integration– Assist with procedure development (Jeppesen)
• Single GBAS unit installed at Newark Airport – Serve multiple runway ends at that airport– Could replace multiple ILS facilities– 48 distinct precision and complex approach procedures
