Objectives of StudyObjectives of Study

• Develop airspace and procedures through cooperation with potential stakeholders

• Identify airspace interactions between facilities

• Identify existing and future air traffic constraints

• Establish airspace assumptions for analysis in the EIS

Airspace Simulation ModelingAirspace Simulation Modeling

• Potential airspace designs will be modeled using the Total Airport and Airspace Modeler (TAAM); TAAM can provide:– Visual verification of SIDS, STARS, and airspace and procedures

interface– Capacity and delay comparisons between airspace design alternatives

• It is important to note that TAAM– is not a 3D SID or STAR builder– is not a human-in-the-loop simulation– is not a design tool

• Potential follow-on modeling with NASA Future Flight

Stakeholder ParticipationStakeholder Participation• FAA

– Western Pacific Regional Office (AT, AFS, AVN, ANI)– Airport District Office – Flight Standards District Office – LAS TRACON and ATCT– Los Angeles ARTCC

• Military– Regional liaison– Branches of military utilizing airspace in the vicinity including Nellis AFB and R-2508 Complex

• Industry– Airlines– NBAA– AOPA– Manufacturers (avionics and aircraft)– RTCA Working Group

• Resource agencies including BLM and NPS• CCDOA Team

Work Completed to DateWork Completed to Date

• Data collection and acquisition of SOP’s and LOA’s

• Creation of existing conditions base map• Initial stakeholder coordination• Preliminary arrival and departure corridor

development through a series of working group and stakeholder meetings

• Airspace conceptual designs for EIS process

Assumptions for Airspace Assumptions for Airspace EnvironmentEnvironment

• Mojave Preserve restrictions • TACAN to be installed at airport• New RADAR(s) to be implemented• Precision instrument landing approaches to each

runway• Use of RNAV capabilities• Airspace realignments with ZLA, L30, and LSV

(new sectors, control positions, new delegated terminal airspace)
