  1. Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center IPACG 26 Meeting User Preferred Routes Presented By: FAA, Oakland ARTCC Airspace and Procedures Date: May 14-18, 2007

  2. UPR Description • A User Preferred Routes is a routing that is filed in an aircraft’s FPL which allows the aircraft to flight plan the most efficient route for their flight.

  3. ICAO STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES • UPRs SUPPORT ICAOS STRAGIC OBJECTIVES • Minimize the adverse effect of Global Civil Aviation on the environment • Enhance the efficiency of aviation operations

  4. RJAA UPR Route RJBB New Zealand - Japan UPR can be unrestricted from Departure Airport to Arrival Airport NZAA NZCH

  5. RJAA UPR Route RJBB New Zealand - Japan UPR can be restricted by the ATC provider between Departure Gateway and Arrival Gateway Waypoint(s)/Routes NZAA NZCH

  6. New Zealand - Japan UPR Route RJAA Different FIRs can have different restrictions for aircraft to file UPRs Auckland, Brisbane and Nadi Centers support UPRs for FANS equipped aircraft RJBB Oakland Center supports UPRs G205 Moresby Center supports UPRs in part of their airspace NZAA NZCH

  7. Weather • Upper Winds • SIGMETS • Turbulence UPR Flow Chart ANSP Restrictions • Ocean Gateway • Arrival/Departure Routes • Airspace Volumes ANSP Flight follows ATC Clearance the same as any other Non-UPR Flight FPL Airspace • NOTAMS • Military Activity Airline AOC Standard ATC Clearance Tower

  8. UPR Routes currently exist between Fukuoka and Oakland

  9. Air Tahiti Flights No ATS or PACOTS Routes connect RJAA and NTTT, so the airline files a UPR random route Air Tahiti (THT) currently flies a UPR Route between RJAA and NTAA

  10. Air Canada Flights ACA finds it advantageous to fly a UPR north of PACOTS Track 1 Air Canada (ACA) frequently flies a UPR between Asia and CYVR ACA UPR PACOTS Track 1

  11. Current UPRs UPR ROUTES SINCE DECEMBER OF 2000

  12. CEP UPR Trials

  13. UPR Trials in the CEP Airborne UPR Trials have shown savings of over 3100 LBS of Fuel The CEP consists of 7 fixed ATS Routes

  14. UPR Trials in the CEP Trials are still under evaluation Ensure there are no adverse effects A study is being conducted to determine the feasibility of using Flexible Tracks in the CEP (target completion date 10/2007) Users are encouraged to participate in the Trials. Email – Edward.M.Wilson@faa.gov to participate.

  15. RJAA UPR Trials RJBB New Zealand - Japan ANZ UPR Paper Trials show an annual savings of over $2 million NZAA NZCH

  16. New Zealand - Japan UPR Route RJAA RJBB ANZ Paper Trials show an annual savings of $1 million by filing UPRs south of the Fukuoka FIR NZAA NZCH

  17. Japan – New Zealand UPR Trials Paper Trials show potential for large savings Oakland, Auckland, Nadi, and Brisbane Control Centers can support operational Trials Port Moresby is ready to support UPRs on or east of ATS Route G205. South Pacific UPRs were discussed at the ISPACG meeting in Auckland NZ.

  18. Japan – South Pacific UPR Paper Trials An agreement was reached at the ISPACG Meeting to begin a Paper Trial for UPR routings south of the Fukuoka FIR. If the results of the Paper Trial are successful, the Trials may progress to Airborne UPRs.

  19. Action By The Meeting • The group is requested to support beginning UPR Paper Trials between the South Pacific and Japan. The data from the paper trial may allow the ANSP and Users to carefully evaluate the impacts of these UPRs. • Users are encouraged to participate in the CEP UPR Trial. Anyone interested in participating in the trial should contact the Oakland Center International Airspace and Procedures Office at 510-745-3320.
