NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
• Routinely, the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas airports are among the top 10 delayed
• Lack of alternate routes closes off airspace in cases of severe weather
• Multiple facilities fragment arrival and departure corridors
• Complexity and congestion continue to be issues even with post-September 11 downturn
Why We Need to Redesign Airspace

NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
Implementation Overview
• Implementation Plan began developed immediately following the signing of Record of Decision (September 5, 2007).
• Initial changes to airspace were implemented on December 19, 2007• Implementation approach was segregated into four stages in the ROD• Each stage will take from 12 to 18 months and stages will overlap

ROMA (…or Route Optimization and Mitigation Analysis)
• Considers all headings within an identified range
• Evaluates noise impact for every possible combination of headings
• Identifies exact headings for minimal impact

Motivation for Westgate Expansion
• KEY ISSUES WITH CURRENT WESTGATE• ELIOT overload – currently
serves 3 airways and BRNAN
• PARKE complexity – climbingand descending aircraft
• BIGGY complexity – climbingand descending aircraft
• RBV crossing traffic – increased volume from JFK
• IMPACTS• Westgate a “chokepoint” during peak demand
• Passback of Miles-in-trail (MIT) restrictions to NY metro airports
• Potential adverse impact on PCT arrivals6

Shift J60/J64 traffic to the west
Shift J6 traffic to the west
Decrease Traffic Load on ELIOT
Split PARKE Departures from IAD Arrivals
Split BIGGY Departures from BWI/DCA Arrivals
Shift IAD arrivals between PARKE and ELIOT
Shift DCA/BWI arrivals between BIGGY and LANNA
ADDITIONAL WESTGATE FIXES
INTRODUCE TERMINAL
SEPARATIONS
Realign RBV departure route(s)
Reduce Impact of Crossing Traffic from RBV
“Wrap” JFK departures over Westgate fixes
REROUTE / REALIGN RBV DEPARTURES
Westgate Expansion
Federal AviationAdministration 8
NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
Add One New Departure Fix
• Fix location• Sector boundary & traffic
impacts• Use of new fix
Next Steps
Expand Use of Terminal Separation Rules
“Wrap” JFK Departures
Addition of Second New Departure Fix
Terminal HITL evaluation
• Feasibility analysis• Design refinement
Realign RBV Transition Routes
• Route design • Sector boundary
TO-DO LIST
N90 / ZNY Resectorization
• N90 / ZNY resectorization• Separation standards in
integrated airspace
• Route design• Sector boundary redesign• Runway use

NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
Key Elements of Stage 2 (4/1/2008 – 10/1/2009)
• Relocate and Expand West Airways
• Redesign NYNJPHL West Corridor
• ZNY HITL – June 2008; N90 HITL Oct 2008; Combined HITL Feb 2009
• Apply Altitude Restriction on JFK En Route Arrivals for High and Low Capacities
• JFK Improvements
• Reroute ISP Arrivals over LENDY
• Reroute JFK Europe Arrivals via ROBER
• Reroute Traffic to New West Airways
• Reroute Traffic to Existing West Airways
• Reconfigure PHL
• Reconfigure and Reroute Departures
• Reroute Arrival Streams
• Additional Dispersal Headings for RWY 09 and RWY 27
Federal AviationAdministration 10
NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
West Departure Area: Current boundary dissolves and airspace expands to combine parts of ZNY and N90 Liberty
PHL Terminal Expansion: PHL terminal absorbs parts of ZDC and ZNY to accommodate new arrival and departure routes
ZBW Boundary Modification: ZBW boundary shifts to support Stage 3 airspace realignment to the Northgate
Stage 2: Minor Airspace Realignment
Federal AviationAdministration 11
NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
Key Elements of Stage 3 (5/11/2010 – 11/9/2011)
• Relocate and Expand North Airways
• Redesign NYNJPHL North Corridor (ZNY, N90)
• Reroute Northbound PCT Departure Routes
• Redistribute Some ZNY Northgate Departures to ZNY Westgate
• Redistribute Traffic on New North Routes
• Facilitating Stage 4 Elements
• Apply Altitude Restriction on LGA to Separate NY and PHL Traffic
• Provide Arrival Coordination for Traffic Flow Management
• Apply Terminal Separation Rules (allowing less stacking and MIT)
• Additional MXE Departure Fix
• Arrival Shift LGA and EWR
• Facility Boundary Adjustments at ZNY, ZBW, ZDC, N90
• Implement 3rd Dispersal Heading at EWR
Federal AviationAdministration 12
NY/NJ/PHL Metro RedesignNovember 18, 2008
South Arrival/Departure Area: Combines parts of ZDC and N90 into PHL TRACON to support full integration of Stage 4
North Departure Area: Combines parts of ZNY and N90 to support expanded Northgate departures
East Departure Area: Combines parts of ZBW and N90 to support full integration of Stage 4
North Arrival Area: Combines parts of ZBW, ZNY and N90 to support shift in North arrivals in Stage 4
Stage 3: Major Airspace Realignment

Next Steps
• Continue to address and resolve legal and political challenges
• Written Reevaluation with respect to new Information
• Respond to GAO Recommendations – Report due July 31, 2008
• Pending litigation – Extension Granted for Briefing Schedule
• Continue safety assessment of all changes
• Facilitate an improved collaborative relationship with all stakeholders
• Develop Airspace design activities with adjacent facilities that enhance the benefits of integration
