Newark Project

Establish Agreement•Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ)•Continental Airlines•FAA

A Single LAAS Unit Will Be Installed at Newark Airport

– Will Serve Multiple Runway Ends– Reduce Ground Delay and Ground Stops– Respond to Initiatives Recommended by the

PANYNJ Flight Delay Task Force Report– Flight Test with Continental Airlines B-737’s– Overlay of Existing ILS Procedures

To conduct an operational demonstration project using the satellite navigation technology of the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS)

– Demonstrate the Operational Capabilities of LAAS in a Complex Airspace Environment to Achieve Efficiency, Safety and Capacity Enhancements

– To Support Aircraft/Airspace Separation in a Highly Congested Area

Terminal Area Capacity Benefits

• Pre-defined Terminal RNAV/RNP Routes• Can Develop Tubular Routes With Lateral

and Vertical Performance Requirements• Enhanced Arrival Spacing and Timing• Defined Sequencing and Merging Routes By

Type Aircraft With Deceleration Phases• ILS Critical Area Elimination For Increased

Arrivals and Departures• Optimum Flexibility For Dynamic Routing
