SOP/LOA Operational PerspectivesMay 5, 2010
Overview
• Goal– Manage the collection, storage, and dissemination of
constraints on National Airspace System operations• In particular, operational constraints contained in Standard
Operating Procedures and Letters of Agreement

SOP/LOA Basics
• Standard Operating Procedures– Specific to an ATC facility– Specify the procedures necessary for safe and
efficient operation at each position or sector• Letters of Agreement
– Agreements between two or more parties establishing procedures, responsibilities, etc.
• Supplemental to other FAA policy– Order 7110.65, etc.

LOA Examples—ZDCCommon LOAs:• Crossing Restrictions (altitude, speed)
• Noise Abatement
• ATCAA/MOA
• Holding Patterns
• Emergency Procedure Coordination

Future Concept?
Vision: Digital SOP/LOA– Digitally captures,
maintains, stores, and distributes key operational constraint data to systems and decision support tools
– Supports NextGenoperational capabilities

Approach
• Prove concept and show benefits of digitization and dissemination– Standardize data model
• AIXM and extensions
– Develop prototype constraint management system• Data collection• Data storage• Data analysis• Data dissemination

Future Work• Taxi routes
– Show automated interpretation of taxi route instructions– Demonstrate data capture– Incorporate restrictions– Data dissemination– Demonstrate analysis capabilities
• Generalize to include other types of constraints– Runway configurations and restrictions– Crossing point restrictions– Airspace constraints
