OverviewOverview

SafeRoute – Product GoalsSafeRoute – Product Goals

Meet the Operators’ Needs• Allow Operational Efficiencies to be gained• Improve Safety – reduce runway incursions

Meet Capacity Demands for 2015• Implement first Product Release into the market by 2008

SafeRoute will Improve Operational Efficiencies by• Reducing Fuel Consumption • Reducing Arrival Time• Improving Airport Capacity• Reducing Noise

• Reducing CO2 Emissions

SafeRoute will Improve Safety by• Providing Surface Situational Awareness• Reducing the Threat of Runway Incursions

SafeRoute will be Cost Effective • Easy to Implement on the Aircraft • Use existing aircraft equipment as much as possible

SafeRoute – OverviewSafeRoute – Overview

SafeRoute is a portfolio of ADS-B “In” Software Solutions that Utilize ADS-B “Out” and TIS-B Technology for In-Cockpit Operational Functions• These In-Cockpit Functions Improve Operational Efficiencies and

Safety• Efficiency Improvements:

M&S (Merging & Spacing) Certified July 2007– Eliminates Need for Radar Vectors in Terminal Area by Providing Flight Deck Spacing Command for

Efficient Aircraft Intervals CDAs (Continuous Descent Arrivals) Certified July 2007

– Eliminate the Need for Stair Step Descents – Reduce Pilot Throttle Commands CAVS (CDTI Assisted Visual Separation) Certified July 2007

– Extends Visual Separation Operations In Reduced Visibility ITP (In-Trail Procedures) To Be Certified

July 2009– Improves Climb Requests When Operating In Oceanic Track Systems For Optimum Flight Profile as

Aircraft Become Lighter

• Safety Improvements: SAMM I (Surface Area Movement Management) Certified July 2007

– Addresses Runway Incursions by Providing Enhanced Surface Situational Awareness of Own Ship Relative to Other ADS-B equipped On-Ground Aircraft & Vehicles

UPS received Operational Approval for SafeRoute from the FAA on December 28th, 2007
