Flight Standards Role at the Certificate Management Office (CMO) or Flight Standards Field Office (FSDO) Level

• Approve avionics equipment installation in the aircraft (ADS-B, Datalink, GPS including RNP AR, Electronic Flight Bags or EFB, EFVS, etc.)

• Approve Maintenance Program for equipment• Approve Pilot Training Program for use of the

equipment• Approve Manuals for use of the equipment• Approvals are mostly done through Operations

Specifications (OPS Specs) which is a “contract” between the operator and the FAA

The Big Picture

• Operators of small part 91 aircraft (not turbine powered or over 12,500 pounds) can have a paperless cockpit without specific authorization

• Refer to Advisory Circular 120-76A, page 17• The iPad has been approved for part 135

Head-Up Display

• Provides primary flight, navigation, and guidance information to the pilot in a forward field-of-view on a head-up transparent screen.

• Reduces flight technical error.

• Provides for a more stabilized approach.

• Eliminates head-down to head-up transition time.

• Eliminates out-the-window accommodation time.

Performance-Based Cockpit Technologyin Low Visibility Operations

• Enhances low visibility flight and ground operations.

• Increases access, efficiency and throughput at many airports when low visibility is a factor.

• Reduces infrastructure necessary to support low visibility operations.

Low Visibility Landing

• Provides flight guidance on a HUD

• Provides a real time display of the outside world in low visibility conditions through the use of imaging sensors (forward looking infrared, millimeter wave, low-light level intensifying, etc.)

• HUD and EFVS are key enablers for Equivalent Visual Operations.

HUD + Sensor Imagery = EFVS

Problems with GPS

• GPS alone does not meet FAA requirements for– Accuracy– Integrity– Availability

• Nor does it provide the necessary guarantees that its signal will be accurate, available, & safe to use

GNSS Augmentation

• Method of improving a navigation system’s attributes (accuracy, reliability, and availability)

• Augment through the integration of external information into a calculation process

• Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)• Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS)

ICAO TerminologyWAAS=SBAS

LAAS=GBAS

17Federal AviationAdministration

Airports Conference April 3, 2012

User Segment

• Consists of the GPS & WAAS-enabled receiver

• Receives WAAS corrections from the communications satellite to improve its position & time accuracy

• Accuracy of 7.6 m (25’) both laterally & vertically at least 95% of the time

Airports Conference April 3, 2012

Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)

• Receiver Equipment (antenna) must be installed to receive the WAAS signal.

• WAAS used for LPV or LP Approaches when properly equipped with instruments capable of displaying LPV or LP scaling. “WAAS box”!

Do you have LPV at your Airport?

• Clear approach surfaces required• Infrastructure including Runway Markings

required• Who are your users?

37Federal AviationAdministration

Airports Conference April 3, 2012

ADS-B Description

• Datalink technology that transmits precise position and other aircraft or vehicle information once per second– US has Dual Link capability on 1090MHz (Mode S) and 978MHz (UAT)

• Both links support broadcast of Traffic Information Service (TIS-B)– For situational awareness of surrounding aircraft/vehicles

• UAT supports the broadcast of Flight Information Service (FIS-B)

• Full implementation of ADS-B capabilities requires– Aircraft avionics equipage (datalink radio and/or display capability)– Ground stations supporting datalink to aircraft– Air Traffic Control (ATC) automation systems integration

38Federal AviationAdministration

Airports Conference April 3, 2012

ADS-B Concepts - Out

• Out is the broadcast of own ship information via• Transponder on 1090Mhz, (required above 18,000 feet) or

• Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) on 978Mhz (GA)

– No special displays required

• Rule is for ADS-B Out– After JAN 1, 2020 must have ADS-B Out– Rule defines airspace and performance

• Infrastructure– Ground stations receive the broadcast signals for use by ATC

39Federal AviationAdministration

Airports Conference April 3, 2012

ADS-B Concepts - In

• ADS-B In is capability to receive, process, and display ADS-B transmitted data– Directly from other aircraft in range (on same link)– Ground stations

• Requires a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI)

• Sept. 2011 ADS-B In ARC recommended the FAA not mandate ADS-B In
