2010 ATO Business Plan

The Air Traffic Organization's (ATO) Fiscal Year 2010Business Plan has been developed through a structuredprocess, targeted both to respond to the Administrator'slatest FAA Flight Plan initiatives and to meet the challengesposed by the turbulent environment in which the ATO willoperate over the next five years. ATO is poised to performwith rigor and to work with our customers and stakeholdersto meet their most urgent needs by leveraging ourstrengths through globalization and innovation. Using adisciplined approach, we have identified the five strategicmulti-year focus areas we must follow to be successful andoperate effectively. These are the 5 focus areas:- Engaged Customers. Partners and Stakeholders: -Achieve a long-term shared commitment to a sustainableand responsive air transportation system;

- People-Driven Service Excellence: - Foster a service-oriented climate in which employees continuously learn,embrace innovation and share accountability for success;

- Safe, Efficient, Responsive Air Transportation System: -Provide a customer-focused, safe, efficient and affordableair transportation system that is environmentallyresponsible;

- New Capabilities through Technology and Tools: - Evolvethe National Airspace System infrastructure to provideefficiency, resilience andNextGen technology; and

- World-Class Administrative and Business Operations:Enhance performance and increase productivity througheffective and responsivebusiness operations.

This Business Plan reflects the specific actions andcommitments we are taking in Fiscal Year 2010 to followthose focus areas. Each year, our Business Plan will mapout the specific activities and commitments for that yearthat lead to a transformed ATO in the future. In 2010 andbeyond, our ATO Plan will build on our success, continuethe strategic transformation we have begun, and accelerateour performance improvements. We will support the FAA'sFlight Plan goals of improved safety, greater capacity,international leadership, and organizational excellence.

Increased SafetyOur first commitment is to safety. The proof of our ability tomaintain that focus is in the actual safety record itself. Infiscal years 2007 and 2008, there were no commercialpassenger fatalities on commercial flights in the U. S.Knowing this, the issue facing FAA comes in the form of asimple question with an exceedingly complex answer:

When a system is so safe, how do you know where toplace your focus to keep it that way? With morepassengers flying than ever, and fuel prices forcing airlinesto look for ways to save money, the test has never beenmore daunting.

To address this challenge, we're moving away from theanecdotal approach to safety and instead using data-analysis to prevent accidents before they happen. SafetyManagement Systems (SMS) are being put in place thatallow us to examine the data of what's actually happeningin the system. With SMS, we examine that data to isolatethe trends that very well could become the precursors toaccidents themselves. Three of the agency's largest linesof business--Air Traffic, Aviation Safety and Airports--havethese programs under way.

These efforts complement other areas of focus, such asthe "Call to Action" we placed to industry regarding runwaysafety. We used the data that had been accumulated withour Safety Management System to isolate trends. Withthat information, we met with chief pilots, put newtechnology in place, and revamped airport signage toincrease the levels of safety on the runway.

Even though commercial aviation draws most of theheadlines, we remain diligent in our efforts to work with thepilots who form the backbone of General Aviation (GA).The FAA continues to work jointly with the Alaska aviationcommunity through a number of organizations and safetyprograms such as: the Medallion Foundation, Alaska AirCarriers Association, Alaska Airman's Association, FAASafety Team, and Circle of Safety. In addition to thesetraining and education efforts, we're using new technologyin Alaska, such as the satellite-based Capstone navigationand terrain awareness avionics. We're also installing 221additional weather cameras throughout the state. Theseweather cameras prove that a picture that is indeed worth athousand words and are a real-time depiction of what'shappening throughout the state. The Alaskan pilot nowhas go/no go information that was previously unavailable.

In addition, we're using ADS-B to solidify the use of satellitesurveillance in Alaska. The breadth of the geography theremakes the use of radar virtually impossible. Satellitesaren't encumbered by terrain. The situational awarenessbenefits provided by the improved surveillance, broadcastservices, and improved avionics has proven to be a greatsuccess; preliminary data indicates a projected 47 percentdrop in the fatal accident rate for aircraft equipped withADS-B in Southwest Alaska.

As a result of that success, we are transferring the lessonslearned in Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, another location inwhich radar coverage is limited. We are increasing ouroutreach and training to general aviation pilots to increase

their skills and awareness.

We're making similar advances to air traffic control safety.The establishment of "proximity events" last year was arecognition that our focus should be on the more seriousoperational errors and not on those that present little or nosafety risk. Training programs and better automation willhelp us meet our goal in FY 2009.

The section that follows identifies the measures andinitiatives we have in place to improve safety. Because wealways look toward continuous improvement, we haveupdated our safety measures and initiatives. For example,we've put in place a new metric to collect and shareinformation from multiple programs, including the AviationSafety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) programand the new Air Traffic Safety Action Program. We'respreading safety data as far and wide as we can. Therecan be no secrets in safety, and everyone, including andespecially the passenger, benefits with this approach.

We accelerated the expansion of the Air TransportOversight System (ATOS) for the airlines. We're blendingthe oversight data ATOS is providing with our other datasources to enhance our ability to detect nationwide trendsand provide a better perspective on the health and safetyof the aviation system.

It is not a coincidence that we are in the safest period in thehistory of aviation. It took a lot of hard work and dedicationfrom our employees, the aviation industry and externalstakeholders to get us here. The system is the safest ithas ever been, and we will continue to work to keep it thatway.

Top INCREASED SAFETY Accomplishments for FY 2008

Reduced Commercial Aviation Fatal Accidents. In FY2007, the FAA rolled out a new way to measure airlinesafety. The new measure, fatalities per 100 millionpersons onboard, more accurately reflects risk to the flyingpublic. The FAA's target is to reach a 50 percent reductionby 2025 from a 2007 baseline of 8.88 fatalities per 100million persons on board. At 0.04, we were well below theFY 2008 performance target of 8.7 fatalities per 100 millionpersons on board.

Continued to Reduce Fatal GA Accidents. The success ofcollaborative safety initiatives between the FAA andindustry continues to drive the GA fatal accident rate evenlower. This year marked a 3-year period that was thesafest ever recorded in the history of GA. The FAA will usethese years as the baseline for next year's new GA safetymetric and goal. The aim is to reduce GA fatal accidentsover the next 10 years to no more than one accident per100,000 flight hours.

Maintained Safety Record for Commercial SpaceLaunches. The commercial space launch industrycontinued its safety record of safe launches with noneresulting in a public fatality or injury. This year marked an

increase from previous years in launches from land-basedand offshore sites. All told, there have been elevenlaunches in FY 2008.

Implemented an agency-wide SMS. This year, the FAApublished guidance for implementation of SMS throughoutthe agency. This guidance furthers the practice ofmanaging safety by moving to a more process-orientedsystem safety approach. It also required developing andimplementing a plan for functions under the SMS, includingthe structure of safety oversight relationships with thesegment of industry for which we hold safety oversightresponsibility.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Certifications. As thedemand for these systems expands, our goal is to protectthe safety of all. We established the procedures for issuingexperimental airworthiness certificates of UAS for purposesof research and development, market survey, or crewtraining to UAS. We've issued close to 40 experimentalcertificates for unmanned systems so far.

Fatigue Workshop. FAA is actively engaged in addressingissues involving fatigue in flight crewmembers and airtraffic controllers. We have an ongoing project to addressfatigue management for crews on flights of greater than 16hours duration. We sponsored the highly successfulindustry Fatigue Symposium in June, 2008 when webrought together all the current and best science andpractice on fatigue and fatigue management in a publicforum that will serve as the baseline for future FAA andindustry actions.

Flight Plan Target: CommercialAir Carrier Fatality RateCut the rate of fatalities per 100 million persons on boardin half by FY 2025. FY 2010 Target: 8.1

Flight Plan Target: Total RunwayIncursionsBy the end of FY 2013, reduce total runway incursions by10 percent from the FY 2008 baseline. FY 2010 Target:-2%

Install Airport Surface Detection Equipment-Model X(ASDE-X) and retrofit ASDE-X equipment capabilityinto selected Airport Movement Area Safety System(AMASS) installations, such as Los Angeles andNewark airports.

Strategic Initiative: ASDE-XInstallation

Strategic Activity: Airport SurfaceDetection Equipment - Model X (ASDE-X)ASDE-X is a surface surveillance system thatprovides seamless multi-sensor airport surveillancewith identification and conflict alerting to air trafficcontrollers. It provides controllers with a visualrepresentation of the traffic situation on the airportmovement area and arrival corridors. ASDE-Xincludes safety logic, which combined withsurveillance information from ASDE-X, determines ifthe current and/or projected positions and movementcharacteristics of tracked aircraft/vehicles present apotential collision situation. Visual and audible alertsare provided to air traffic controllers. The ASDE-Xsystem is particularly useful as a traffic control aidduring hours of darkness and during other conditionsof poor visibility. ASDE-X was developed to aid inpreventing surface collisions and in reducing criticalCategory A and B runway incursions.

ASDE-X supports the FAA Flight Plan goals forincreased safety and greater capacity. ASDE-Xenhances safety through the improvement of thesurface movement infrastructure. It increasesefficiency by improving air traffic controllers'situational awareness. ASDE-X provides flight callsigns for all transponder-equipped targets. As aresult, controllers are able to view the ASDE-Xdisplay to determine the correct order of aircraftwithin the queue, monitor whether aircraft arefollowing their prescribed taxi routes, and validatethat the proper beacon code is associated with theradar target for each aircraft. Through theimplementation of data tags, ASDE-X provides theability to accurately identify each aircraft within aqueue preventing unnecessary coordination andcommunication. This improved capability will reducethe time spent between clearance deliveries and inturn lead to less taxi time and delays. ASDE-X ispart of the Operational Evolution Partnership (OEP)

Strategic Activity: Low Cost GroundSurveillance Systems

Activity Target 1:Procure and install system at site one airport. DueMay 31, 2010

The Federal Aviation Administration is consideringthe use of low-cost, commercially available radarsurveillance systems that would reduce the risk ofrunway incursions at certain small and medium-sized airports. We would install these systems atairports that do not have Airport Surface DetectionEquipment (either ASDE-3 or ASDE-X). We arecurrently testing a prototype system at Spokane,Washington. Controllers and pilots can safelyconduct ground operations through visual and voicecommunication due to lower traffic levels and lesscomplex operations at these airports. A low-costsystem would further reduce the risk of groundincidents or accidents, especially during periods oflow visibility. The Federal Aviation Administrationrecently sent out an industry survey to determinewhat systems are currently in the market. FederalAviation Administration will build additional runwaysafety applications such as Runway Status Lightsand Surface Movement Guidance and ControlSystems upon the basic infrastructure provided bythe Low Cost Ground Surveillance.

Greater CapacityAmerica's airports are the access point for the Nation to theair transportation network. We must preserve and improveour airports -- both commercial and general aviation -- inorder to prepare for the future and maintain our leadingrole.

Over the last several years, we've made significant stridesto add capacity to the aviation system. Since 2000, 13 newrunways have opened and the numbers tell the story. Withjust 20 miles of concrete, we've added the potential toaccommodate 1.6 million more annual operations anddecrease delay per operation by about five minutes. Withroughly 5,000 aircraft in the sky at any given time, fiveminutes adds up to quite a bit of fuel and a considerableamount of time saved. . In November 2008, FAA willcommission three new runways at three major airports, allon the same day, an event that has never happenedbefore.

Even with these new runways, the capacity of the systemcontinues to be stretched beyond its limits at certainairports and regions. The associated delays are placing astrain on everyone. The FAA must immediately takeextraordinary steps to reverse this trend at these keyairports in the system.

Although FAA and airports have made progress addingcapacity, there are still areas where a sense of urgencyremains. Delays affect everyone. Passengers deal withmissed or canceled flights, lost productivity, not to mentionthe potential for sitting on the tarmac instead of sitting on abeach while vacationing. Beyond this, airlines incurincreased costs for crews, fuel, and maintenance whileplanes sit idling on the airfield surface or circling in holdingpatterns. The U.S. economy suffers both direct andindirect costs from aviation delay as lodging, food service,retail, ground transportation, and other industries areimpacted. Additionally, the environmental impacts continueto mount as aircraft burn more fuel or have to return to thedeicing pads due to delayed departure times.

A few U.S. airports are experiencing significant levels ofcongestion that produce delays locally as well asnationally. Many of these delays result from a persistentmismatch between the demand for and the availability ofcapacity. Given that infrastructure developments such asnew runways can take up to 10 years to implement, theFAA must develop processes and systems to speed

Page 38 of 15311/17/09 Fiscal Year 2010 ATO Business Plan

Page 40: ATO Business Plan 2010

intervention at critical and chronic delay points.

To meet this challenge, we must enhance the partnershipwith the airport operators and airport users to continue todevelop action plans that provide solutions to ensure thebest fit on local and regional levels. Each airport, eachlocal community, each local environment, each geographicregion must play into the solution set, with the specific toolsets identified and implemented appropriately. What worksat one location may not work at another for a variety ofreasons.

FAA recognizes the need to identify and prioritize delayissues, and is implementing a team approach to do this forthe chronic delay airports. FAA is creating congestionaction teams to help alleviate and manage specific capacityissues at the airports that create the greatest impact on thesystem. For the longer-term solutions, FAA prefers anintegrated approach to improve capacity by improvingtechnology, air traffic control procedures and expandingairport and airfield infrastructure. In circumstances whereoperational efficiency and airport capacity expansion is notfeasible or not yet completed, where demand routinelyexceeds airport capacity, and where local delaysreverberate through the NAS, a congestion managementapproach may be the appropriate choice, includingschedule reduction. But it is important to recognize thatthere is no one-size-fits-all in applying strategic mitigationor congestion management.

Top GREATER CAPACITY Accomplishments for FY 2008

Adjusted Operational Availability. The FAA achieved asustained adjusted operational availability of 99.8 percentfor the reportable facilities that support the 35 OperationalEvolution Partnership (OEP) airports. This measurecannot obtain a 100 percent Adjusted OperationalAvailability rate because of the requirements to performformal facility inspections, periodic maintenance andcorrective maintenance on the operational equipmentlocated at the 35 OEP airports.

Average Daily Airport Capacity. We achieved the target ofan average daily airport capacity for the 35 OEP airports of101,868 arrivals and departures per day, and an averagedaily airport capacity for the 7 Metro areas of at least33,676 arrivals and departures per day. We are continuallyworking to maximize available capacity in the NAS to keepup with demand and better serve the flying public.

Area Navigation (RNAV) Procedures and Routes. Thus farin FY 2008, we implemented 63 RNAV Standard TerminalArrival (STAR) and Standard Instrument Departure (SID)procedures at 45 airports, with 15 more proceduresscheduled for publication in September, 2008. RNAV issaving operators millions of dollars per year by loweringfuel consumption due to more efficient routes, whilesimultaneously improving safety, environmental impacts,and user access to the NAS.

Wake Turbulence Program. The Wake Turbulence

Program had two major accomplishments for FY 2008: thedevelopment of a draft National Air Traffic Rule Changeand the Wake Turbulence Mitigation for Departures(WTMD) decision support tool. The National Rule changeallows the use of a dependent parallel instrument landingsystem aircraft approaches to an airport's closely spacedparallel runways. The development of the WTMD air trafficcontrol decision support tool design and functionalrequirements were sufficiently mature to enter intopreparation for the tool's procurement for up to 10 of the 35OEP airports.

Air Traffic Management (ATM). In an effort to reducedelays, ATM, working collaboratively with the aviationcommunity, has made airspace more available duringperiods of bad weather by use of the Airspace FlowProgram (AFP). We estimate that since installation in 2006,ATM efforts during periods of bad weather have savedairlines over $120 million in fuel and operations costs.

Future Airport Capacity Team (FACT). FAA is teamingwith external stakeholders to identify and address capacity-constrained airports and metropolitan areas. This teamhas identified critical high activity airports in the NAS andperformed site visits to the following airports: Atlanta,Chicago Midway, Fort Lauderdale, John Wayne, LasVegas, Long Beach, Oakland, Phoenix, San Diego andSan Francisco. The team has also developed a toolbox ofpotential solutions for each unique location. This toolboxincludes technological, procedural, and infrastructureimprovements to be considered for implementation at theidentified airports based on additional capacity needs in thefuture.

Airport Studies. Eleven projects are in the planning orenvironmental stage at the largest airports including anenvironmental assessment for a proposed runwayextension at Portland, an environmental impact statementfor a proposed runway extension at Ft. Lauderdale, anenvironmental impact statement for a proposed airfieldreconfiguration at Philadelphia, and an environmentalimpact statement for a new supplemental commercialservice airport for Las Vegas. In addition, threecommunities have planning studies underway to examinehow their metropolitan areas will accommodate futuredemand for aviation. They include Chicago, Atlanta andSan Francisco.

Continuous Descent Arrival (CDA) at Los AngelesInternational Airport. The first publicly-charted arrivalprocedure with the vertical profile optimized to permit CDAwas implemented at Los Angeles International Airport onDecember 20, 2007. Procedures with an Optimized ProfileDescent (OPD) allow use of the CDA technique to providelower noise and emissions and increased fuel efficiency.FAA implemented two OPD arrival procedures at LosAngeles. Use of the CDA technique provides advantagesby reducing ground noise along much of the flight path,reducing emissions, and saving time and fuel.

This data isprovided to terminal automation systems and utilizedby air traffic controllers to safely and efficientlyseparate aircraft in the terminal environment. TheASR-9 provides data to AMASS and ASDE-X, to aidin the prevention of accidents resulting from runwayincursions. The purpose of the investment is toaddress the most troublesome components withinthe ASR-9 transmitter - the modulator pulseassembly, trigger amplifier, and post chargeregulator - to ensure that we maintain the currentlevel of system availability and reliability. TheModulator Pulse Assembly (MPA) and relatedcomponents are responsible for up to 50% of thefailures associated with the transmitter, and thus thissubassembly is considered the greatest single risk tosystem reliability and availability. Without thesemodifications to the ASR-9 transmitter, the ASR-9will continue to experience decreasing reliability andavailability over time. The cost of technology refreshhas been deemed more cost-effective than acquiringfull replacement systems, because the currentperformance is effective in meeting both the safetyand capacity needs of the nation's air traffic systemat major airports.

This investment will begin to lower O&M costsassociated with the ASR-9/Mode-S SLEP, Phase 1Bbeginning in 2009.

maintenance and repair. It will provide a projectedcost savings to the O&M budget by allowing for moreefficient future signal processing softwaremodifications.The retrofitting of the ASDP into the ASR-11 systemallows increased processing speed and memory.

Taking advantage of this processing capability, theASDP software, as delivered, will include baselinechanges that were not possible in the original SignalData Processor due to processing and memorylimitations. Additionally, further changes to the signalprocessing software become possible due to theinherent scalability of the ASDP. This scalabilityallows for increasing the processing capability bysupporting the addition of processor cards withoutrequiring a major restructuring of the software. Withthis ease of adding processing capability, additionalchanges to the signal processing design (from asoftware perspective) are straightforward and easilyaccomplished. The changes to the signal processingwould allow targeting of known shortcomings of thesystem that would improve the system performanceand target detection capability in the presence ofwind farms and other anomalous propagation.Ultimately, the ASR-11 Technology Refresh retrofitof the ASDP into production systems will reduceOperations and Maintenance (O&M) cost by allowingfor more efficient future signal processing softwaremodifications.

Activity Target 1:Complete Joint (FAA/DOD) Operational UtilityEvaluation at two sites. Due September 30, 2010

The FAA currently relies on paper flight strips toprovide air traffic controllers with a physicalrepresentation of the aircraft they are controlling.The strips are used to coordinate and planoperations regarding individual flights, includingarrivals, departures, and surface movement ofaircraft. As flights are processed, the correspondingflight strips are passed from one controller to thenext -- each of whom is concerned with a specificsegment of the overall sequence to be completed.This process is inefficient and restrictive sinceinformation hand-written on the flight strips duringthe progress of a flight is not easily shared with otherpersonnel or facilities.This program will automate the flight strips, providingcontrollers with electronic tools and functions tobetter manage air traffic operations, facilitating asafer and more efficient Air Traffic Control (ATC)operational environment.

Core Activity: ATCT/TRACONReplacement

Activity Target 1:Assess Progress for initiating four constructionawards and continuation with multiple Phase IVand V activities by the end of the fiscal year. DueMarch 31, 2010

An Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and TerminalRadar Approach Control (TRACON) are integralparts of many airports. It is from these facilities theair traffic controllers direct aircraft in the terminalairspace environment. There are more than 500ATCTs and TRACONs within the Department ofTransportation. The average age of these facilities isapproximately 30 years old, and the oldest facilityhas been in service for over 70 years. The primarymethod of controlling the immediate airportenvironment is visual observation from the controltower. The tower is a tall, windowed structurelocated on the airport grounds. Tower controllers areresponsible for the separation and efficientmovement of aircraft and vehicles operating on thetaxiways and runways of the airport itself, andaircraft in the air near the airport. A TRACON is afacility that provides radar separation services within30 to 50 miles of an airport but does not alwaysneed to be located at the airport. The FAA has arigorous program for ATCT/TRACON replacement.The FAA must also continually replace facilities toensure an acceptable level of air traffic controlservices. ATO-T's Air Traffic Control Facilitiesprogram contributes to the FAA greater capacitygoal by replacing ATCTs and TRACONs to meetcurrent and future operational requirements. Thisprogram addresses requirements to accommodategrowth and safety concerns (e.g., to ensure thatcontrollers have an unobstructed view of therunways and taxiways).

Core Activity: Terminal AirportSurveillance Radar Model 8 (ASR-8)Service Life Extension Program (SLEP)The Airport Surveillance Radar, Model-8 (ASR-8)was procured in the mid-1970s and fielded between1975 and 1980 to provide primary surveillance radardata to air traffic controllers at low and mediumactivity airports. Forty-two ASR-8 systems (39operational systems, 3 support systems) will remainin use in the National Airspace System (NAS) afterthe Airport Surveillance Radar, Model-11 (ASR-11)

program implementation is complete. The NASArchitecture Surveillance Roadmap retains the ASR-8 systems through the year 2025. The NASArchitecture also identifies Automatic DependentSurveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) as the primarymeans of surveillance for the future. The approvedADS-B backup strategy assumes, primary radarservices will remain in all terminal areas covered byprimary radar today and will serve to mitigate single-aircraft avionics failures in the event of loss of ADS-B positioning source. The ASR-8 systems are wellpast their intended life span and need modificationsto contain operating costs and ensure the systemsare able to operate within the NAS and meet thedemands of projected traffic profiles through 2025.The ASR-8 was developed using technology that isnow obsolete. Many parts are no longer availableand the ASR-8 analog data output can not interfacedirectly with newer digital technology. Currently 11ASR-8 operational systems are converted to digitalformat to feed existing automation systems. In theAutomation Roadmap all automation systems willrequire digital radar input as a result of the migrationfrom ARTS-IIE to ARTS-IIIE or STARS. TheSurveillance Roadmap includes a decision point forimplementation of Internet Protocol (IP) addressingat radar facilities which will also require digital radardata. The Surveillance Roadmap also retains theSecondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) after therequirement to provide digital radar input to theautomation systems; this will require digitization ofthe SSR as well. To support the agency effort toestablish consolidated Terminal Radar ApproachControl (TRACON) facilities approximately half of theremaining ASR-8 systems will require a digital targetoutput as well as a 6-level weather output. Providinga digital weather output will also support the agencyto meet the recent NTSB recommendation forstandardized 4-level weather reporting. The FAAalso provides ASR-8 data to support the DoDmission. Currently the DoD Air Defense Sectorreceives radar data from 8 of the 39 operational ASR-8 systems.

Activity Target 1:Assess progress towards meeting the year-endcommitment for providing analysis support toenable decision to either terminate, modify, orcontinue the program. Due March 31, 2010

WTMD program will field new equipment in AirTraffic Control Towers. WTMD equipment appliesNASA research using MIT Lincoln Laboratory(MIT/LL) software algorithms to process both surfacewind observations and forecast winds aloft, todetermine when favorable crosswinds exist inrelation to the CSPR. WTMD alerts Air TrafficControl (ATC) supervisors when these favorablemeteorological conditions might allow reduceddeparture spacing. The ATC supervisors useWTMD inputs and other operational decision aids,when to decide when to reduce departure spacing.WTMD also provides alarms when such favorablecrosswind conditions cease to exist. Reducedspacing on departure yields significantimprovements in use of available capacity at airportswith CSPR. Ten of thirty-five Operational EvolutionPlan (OEP) airports and five of fifteen OEPMetropolitan Growth Areas will be served by WTMD.Benefits range between two and eleven moredepartures per hour, weather permitting, through theuse of WTMD techniques.

International LeadershipAs the number of international passengers and aviationactivities across the globe increase every year, it becomeseven more important for the United States to continue to bethe gold standard for aviation safety. To make this happen,the FAA actively builds partnerships and shares knowledgeto create a safe, seamless, and efficient global aviationsystem. Our premise is simple: national boundary linesshould not be impediments to safety. That's why we'veworked with over 130 countries and regional organizationsto provide technical assistance and training. We'vecontinued to work closely with the International CivilAviation Organization (ICAO) to promote our critical safetyand capacity initiatives with the larger internationalaudience, with a clear focus to ensure global harmonizationof NextGen's performance-based systems and procedures.We also promote the important work that ICAO doesthrough its Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program(USOAP). Adherence to international standards iseveryone's responsibility, and everyone's gain.

With NextGen technologies and procedures, FAA works toimprove aviation system efficiency and establish seamlessoperations beyond our borders while reducing aviation'senvironmental footprint. We continue harmonizingstandards and procedures with our neighbors in Mexicoand Canada. We are comparing our aviation system withthose of Japan and the European Union to identify futureequipment and procedural needs. We also are expandingour cooperative efforts with China to collaborate on futureNextGen air traffic initiatives.

Environmental issues continue to be a large part of ourefforts. The FAA is a key player in ICAO's Group onInternational Aviation and Climate Change as it developsan international strategy to address aviation greenhousegas emissions. We continue our work with European andindustry partners through the Atlantic InteroperabilityInitiative to Reduce Emissions (AIRE). To addressenvironmental issues in the Pacific region, we establishedthe Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions(ASPIRE) partnership. We expect that initiatives like AIREand ASPIRE will serve as a framework for similarcooperative efforts in other parts of the world.

The FAA's international priorities support the future needsof the global aviation system by addressing fundamentalinternational aviation challenges today. Throughpartnerships, innovation, and collaborative efforts, we workwith the rest of the world to ensure the safety of air travel,increase the efficiency of the global aviation system, andcontribute to the well-being of the environment.

Top INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP Accomplishments forFY 2008

Page 93 of 15311/17/09 Fiscal Year 2010 ATO Business Plan

Page 95: ATO Business Plan 2010

Aviation Safety Leadership. The hard work and dedicationof the multi-agency U. S. government team, led by theFAA, resulted in a successful audit of the NAS by the ICAOUniversal Safety Oversight Audit Program (USOAP) office.The audit covered multiple areas of safety oversightincluding air navigation services, air traffic oversight,search and rescue, airports, shipment of dangerous goods,accident investigation and environment. The audit resultswere issued by ICAO in August 2008. The U. S. score of91 far exceeds the global average of 58.

Bilateral Agreements. At the 2008 Singapore Air Show, theU. S.-Korea Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA)Executive Agreement and Implementation Procedures forAirworthiness (IPA) were signed. This safety agreementdemonstrates the strong relationship the FAA maintainswith the Korean Civil Aviation Safety Authority and ourcombined efforts toward international aviation safety. TheIPA allows for the U. S. acceptance of Korean aviationequipment that meets U. S. specifications. A revision toupdate the U. S./Canada BASA IPA was also signed inJune 2008. During the Transatlantic Issues Conference inJune 2008, the U. S. and the European Commissionsigned a safety agreement that broadens and deepenscooperation between the FAA and its Europeancounterpart, the European Aviation Safety Agency. Theagreement, once ratified by both parties, will provide forreciprocal acceptance of safety findings in aircraft design,airworthiness and repair station facilities.

Environmental Leadership. Our second internationalpartnership to promote good environmental stewardship,the Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions(ASPIRE), was launched in February 2008. UnderASPIRE, the FAA is partnering with Airservices Australiaand Airways New Zealand to share and promote wind-based and oceanic technologies that reduce fuel burn andcarbon dioxide emissions while accommodating air trafficgrowth in the Asia-Pacific region. The ASPIRE partnershipis a significant representation of the international effort tolessen aviation's environmental footprint.

NextGen Technologies. In February 2008, the FAA AirTraffic Organization and the Air Traffic ManagementBureau of the Civil Aviation Administration of China signedan agreement to cooperate on harmonizing our respectiveair traffic system modernization programs. The agreementcreated the NextGen Air Traffic Management SteeringGroup and serves as a formal building block for thefoundation that allows the two countries to work together toharmonize their broader NextGen strategies

External Funding. The 2008 Flight Plan target for ExternalFunding was set at $15 million. Due to hard work andcontinual outreach, FAA's international team secured fundsto surpass the target, including U. S. Department of Statefunding for an International Visitor Leadership Programproject for Singapore, U. S. Trade and DevelopmentAgency funds for developmental projects in India, and twoorientation visits for Brazil's air traffic organization and civil

aviation agency. The program benefited reconstructionprograms by securing funds to ship radars to Afghanistanand for a technical assistance project to the Iraqi CivilAviation Authority.
