Can GEO fly this plane, and
land it?
Surely you can’t be serious
I am serious…
….and don’t call me Shirley!

• Increasing number of flights (Europe: 30k flights per day)• Meeting future capacity, safety and environmental
requirements• Europe: Single European Sky / SESAR• US: NextGen• Sharing aeronautical information by using exchange models:
– AIXM : Aeronautical Information – WXXM : Weather– FIXM : Flight Information
• Based on ISO and OGC open standards (GML, WFS, etc.)
Background
NOTAM (Notice to Airmen)
NOTAMs are issued (and reported) for a number of reasons, such as:• hazards such as air-shows, parachute jumps, kite flying, rocket launches, etc.• flights by important people such as heads of state (sometimes referred to as
Temporary Flight Restrictions, TFRs)• closed runways• inoperable radio navigational aids• military exercises with resulting airspace restrictions• inoperable lights on tall obstructions• temporary erection of obstacles near airfields (e.g. cranes)• passage of flocks of birds through airspace (a NOTAM in this category is known as a
BIRDTAM)• notifications of runway/taxiway/apron status with respect to snow, ice and standing
water (a SNOWTAM)• notification of an operationally significant change in volcanic ash or other dust
contamination (an ASHTAM)• software code risk announcements with associated patches to reduce specific
vulnerabilities
Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off. Captain Oveur: Roger! Roger Murdock: Huh? Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er. Captain Oveur: Roger! Roger Murdock: Huh? Victor Basta: Request vector, over. Captain Oveur: What? Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324. Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence. Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor? Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over! Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over. Tower voice: Over. Captain Oveur: Roger. Roger Murdock: Huh? Tower voice: Roger, over! Roger Murdock: What? Captain Oveur: Huh? Victor Basta: Who?

Goals
• Decrease risk factor by 3• Increase capacity by at least 70%• Reduce environmental impact by each flight by 10%• Shrink the ATM cost of each flight by half
