PBCS – Operational Authorization

• State prescribes RCP and RSP

• PBCS provisions for Annex 6 and Annex 11

(adapted from existing provisions for RVSM)

– Operational authorization

– Regional/ANSP post-implementation monitoring and operator participation

• Operational authorization

– Demonstrate acceptable RCP / RSP for each aircraft type in the fleet

– If substandard performance, State of the Operator or State of Registry would issue

corrective action notice (taking into account the severity of the deficiency and magnitude

of the change)

– Corrective action notice could result in restrictions on use of data link

– PBCS would allow the operator to still use CPDLC and ADS-C

• Operators file capability in flight plan, e.g. P2 (RCP240) in Item 10

PBCS – FANS 1/A over VHF

• Evaluations on FANS 1/A over very high

frequency (VHF) performance

– Aircraft communications addressing and reporting

system (ACARS)

– VHF data link (VDL) Mode 0/A – Plain old ACARS (POA)

– VDL Mode 2 – ACARS over aviation VHF link control

(AVLC) (AOA)

• FAA advocates VDL Mode 2, however it is accepting use

of VDL Mode 0/A in U.S. domestic airspace, at least

initially

PBCS – FOICA and FOI

• FOICA (Inmarsat) and FOI (Iridium)

• Some common issues typical of FANS 1/A operations

– CMU / MU Media-ground station switching algorithms

(e.g. VHF-SATCOM, satellite to satellite)

– Multiple ADS contracts with aircraft

– Next on busy (e.g. media sharing with AOC)

• Satellite service provisions are changing all the time

– Major changes can and do affect performance

– Systems components fail

– Regional and ANSP monitoring and inter-regional exchange of

monitoring results are essential

Inmarsat – What’s Coming

Service Status

Alphasat I‑4A F4

Launched 25 July 2013, in cooperation with the European Space Agency, which is investigating the use of satellite communications in Europe. Includes Classic Aero and SwiftBroadband services and will complement the existing aeronautical services provided by the I-4. Operational availability expected sometime in 2014

SwiftBroadband

Plans to evaluate FANS 1/A over SwiftBroadband Safety. Plans for Hawaiian Airlines to begin in Oakland Oceanic FIR. Cobham, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell, Thales, ARINC and SITA are cooperating with Inmarsat

Inmarsat – What’s Gone/Going

Service Status

PC Data / FaxBroadcast Data (CN50)Secure Voice (CN11)

Decommissioned middle of 2013, coincident with I-3 and I-4 GES harmonization

Classic Aero HPlans to decommission by end of 2018, coincident with the estimated I-3 end of service life

Classic Aero I / Swift 64Will be supported at least until end 2018; status beyond 2018 has not been determined

PBCS – JCAB Evaluation of FOI

• Some restrictions still apply

• However, similar to FAA systems, JCAB systems

have no operational means to determine the type of

media the aircraft is using for FANS 1/A operations in

the Fukuoka FIR

• Reduced separations can be applied (or mis-applied)

to FOI aircraft that indicate RNP4 in their flight plan

• Use of flight plan (e.g. P2 indicator in Item 10) would

resolve the issue

FAA data link recording rules

• Data link advances operational safety

– Improves conformance monitoring for detecting large height

deviations (LHDs) and gross navigational errors (GNEs)

– Improves controller intervention capability thereby reducing the

exposure of LHDs/GNEs

• Retrofit installations of CPDLC recording capability

– Excessive costs

– Hinders the advancement of operational safety

– Compromises NextGen implementation schedule

• Preparing justification for recommendations to FAA
