The Path to PETALThe Path to PETAL• Certification & Operations Approval• CDG Operations
– Not your basic routine flights– Good support a key
• Non-revenue test profiles– Data collection– Response to problems
• Operational sector operations• Results

Certification & Ops ApprovalCertification & Ops Approval
• Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)– AAL was the applicant, issued 6/06/01– Applies to the B-767-300 with Pegasus FMC
and Rockwell Collins avionics package:• CMU - 900
• VHF - 920 VHF Digital Radio (VDR)
• APM
• Operations Approval– Issued mid-August– Triggered start of revenue flying

Charles de Gaulle OperationsCharles de Gaulle Operations
• Airframe Scheduling
• Routing & Coordination– Non-standard routing and short flights– Lots of coordination
• Kudos to lots of people/organizations– Internal to AA– Eurocontrol– CFMU and CDG ATC personnel
5
Non-Revenue Test ProfilesNon-Revenue Test Profiles
• Objectives outlined by Eurocontrol– Specific profiles to establish system performance
• Avionics performance with “operational” ground network• Ground network• The Controller’s end
– Troubleshooting• Profiles modified or repeated to check “fixes”• Aircraft variables• Lots of data collected

ResultsResults
• The “good” news - VDLM2 works !
• The “other” news - there is room forimprovement– Technical and operational suitability issues
• 21 Non-revenue test profiles flown
• Started data link with operational sectors on 17 August, it is continuing
• PETAL an excellent proving ground
• Next step - FAA Build I in Miami next year
