  4. Airport Capacity Scheduler • Modeling airport capacity • Previously • Used ceiling and visibility to determine VMC, MMC, and IMC conditions and apply associated capacity curve • Now • Considers wind speed, wind direction, and time of day • Use special condition curves • Configuration specific • Wake Turbulence Mitigation for Departures (WTMD)

  5. Ground Delay Program (GDP)Generator • Previously • No GDP module • Now • GDP generator identifies GDPs and assigns expected departure clearance times • Given flight times and weather dependent airport capacities • Flights assigned arrival slot based on priority • Distance based tiers • International flights exempt • Airport specific GDP triggers • Max flight delay • Max queue length • Next • Airline response and cancellation module • Probabilistic GDP triggers • Probabilistic weather forecast

  6. Performance Based Navigation (PBN) • Model Q-Routes • Previously • No special treatment • Now • Allow equipped flights, between certain city pairs to fly special routes • Impose aircraft separation standards using restrictions

  7. ZOA Oceanic Separation • Previously • Flights flew unconstrained in oceanic airspace • Now • Oceanic separation standards imposed using static restrictions • Considers lead/following aircraft type/equipage to determine separation • Next • Incorporate altitude restrictions • Oceanic in-trail climb and descent

  8. SIDs and STARs • Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) • Previously • All flights had continuous descent arrivals • Estimated time/fuel inefficiencies by historical data analysis • Now • Assign each flight to a STAR • based on route and equipage • Define more detailed 4-D trajectory • with altitude restrictions • Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) • Similar technique implemented

  9. Notional PBN Forecast Notional ADS-B Forecast Equipage Evolution • Previously • Baseline equipment data used throughout forecast • Soon • Evolve future fleet equipment to meet forecast • Equipment categories include • Datacomm • ADS-B In and Out • PBN: RNAV and RNP

  10. Next Steps • Incorporate Traffic Flow Management (TFM) • Airspace Flow Programs • Improve Terminal Approach Control (TRACON) • Update and automate arrival fix and departure fix flows • Incorporate fix balancing • Improve local and en-route weather effects • Model severe IMC conditions • Incorporate dynamic events • Dynamic rerouting, dynamic sectorization • Include Monte Carlo simulation capability • Re-factored source code • Validation, validation, validation
