Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) • Precision Approach

For CAT- I, II, III• Multiple Runway

Coverage At An Airport

• 3D RNP Procedures (RTA), CDAs

• Navigation for Closely Spaced Parallels

• Super Density Operations



GBAS Pathway Forward

• Cat-I System Design Approval at Memphis – 2009• Cat-III Prototype Validation by - 2010• Cat-III System Design Approval by - 2012• Evaluating Potential to Leverage Resources with DoD

Joint Precision Approach Landing System (JPALS)



Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B)

• Automatic– Periodically transmits information with no

pilot or operator input required

• Dependent– Position and velocity vector are derived

from the Global Positioning System (GPS)

• Surveillance -– A method of determining position of

aircraft, vehicles, or other asset

• Broadcast– Transmitted information available to

anyone with the appropriate receiving equipment

Rulemaking: Aviation Rulemaking Committee

• The Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) was chartered in July 2007

• The NPRM comment period closed on March 3, 2008

• Once the NPRM had been published and reviewed by the ARC, the ARC would make specific recommendations to the FAA about any changes that should be made to the proposed language in the NPRM.

• The ARC provided NPRM recommendations to the FAA on September 26, 2008.



ARC Report Overview

• The ARC made 36 summary recommendations divided into two broad categories: – Recommendations to be resolved before any rule is adopted = 26

• ADS-B Link Strategy

• ADS-B Program and Business Case

• Performance Requirements

• Required Equipment

• Communication, Navigation and Surveillance Equipment

– Recommendations for future = 10• ADS-B Program and Business Case

• Required Equipment

• Communication, Navigation and Surveillance Equipment

• Security, Privacy, and Malicious Use

The ARC emphasizes its support for ADS–B Out implementation in the NAS by 2020.



Potential ARC Next Steps

• Consider additional tasking of the ARC to address ADS-B In Recommendation– Recommendation #27: The NPRM is focused on ADS–B Out

and attempts to establish the requirements of ADS–B Out equipment so that it is compatible with ADS–B In. The FAA, in partnership with industry, should define a strategy for ADS–B In by 2012, ensuring the strategy is compatible with ADS–B Out avionics. The FAA also should ensure this program defines how to proceed with ADS–B In beyond the voluntary equipage concept included in the NPRM.
