(ADS-B) uses the U.S. NAVSTAR GPS to broadcast the position and intent of the aircraft. It then automatically transmits this information — with more precision than radar — to air traffic managers and pilots. Through more accurate surveillance, ADS-B will allow for more efficient separation of planes. In the cockpit, pilots also will have access to information on weather, traffic and flight restrictions.

Since the late 1990s, aircraft equipped with ADS-B technology have been participating in an FAA test program in southeastern Alaska called Capstone. In preliminary estimates, accident rates for both general aviation and commercial carriers participating in Capstone have dropped 40 percent when compared to aircraft operating elsewhere in Alaska. Delivery company UPS is also currently using ADS-B technology. This has allowed UPS to save millions of dollars in jet fuel, reduce emissions by 34 percent and noise by 30 percent at its hub airport in Louisville, Kentucky.

ADS-B will next be deployed at key sites in the U.S. by 2010, including the Gulf of Mexico, Louisville, Juneau and Philadelphia. The nationwide infrastructure will be rolled out by around 2013. Aircraft will be required to be equipped with ADS-B Out by 2020.

ADS-BNextGen Base Technology

Provides air-to-air surveillance capability. Provides surveillance to remote or inhospitable areas

that do not currently have coverage with radar. Provides real-time traffic and aeronautical information in

the cockpit. Allows for reduced separation and greater predictability

in departure and arrival times. Supports common separation standards, both horizontal

and vertical, for all classes of airspace. Improves ability of airlines to manage traffic and aircraft

fleets. Improves ability of air traffic controllers to plan arrivals

and departures far in advance. Reduces the cost of the infrastructure needed to operate

the National Airspace System

Atlanta RNP / RNAV

◦ RNP RNAV is based on the following systems, where these systems meet navigation requirements: GNSS GNSS/INS DME/DME/INS ADS-B

Six Tailored RNP approach procedures were developed, three each for RWY01 and RWY19

33 RNP capable 737-800 aircraft, 12 of which are also ADS-B equipped

RNP value of 0.3 used for procedure design: ◦ Obstacle clearance area extends 1,111

meters on both sides of flight path ◦ Aircraft required to meet a track keeping

navigation performance not to exceed 556 meters on either side of flight path

Radar, with a position accuracy of 93 meters, does not meet measurement requirements

ADS-B and differential GPS used to measure and calibrate results

Initial results show that the aircraft conform to the path prescribed in the RNP- AR procedure with a standard deviation of less than 20 meters. The wing span of the aircraft is 36 meters.”

“A major transformation in NextGen is the use of TBO as the main mechanism for managing traffic in high–density or high-complexity airspace.”
