30TH ANNUAL Ken Hespe, Manager, Outreach & External Affairs National Consortium for Aviation Mobility, Hampton, Virginia AVIATION FORECAST CONFERENCE - - March 16 - 17
The Small Aircraft Transportation System concept is a safe, affordable travel alternative that will provide new mobility and create equitable access to more communities in less time for the general public. An augmentation to “hub and spoke” and a key to the “Next Transportation System . . . ”
Need for Transformation “Transportation is critical to our nation’s economy and our quality of life…but today we are straining its capacity limits, producing delays and congestion…”
Resources over 5 years: • $69 million NASA • 50/50 Cost Share (NASA & NCAM) • NASA/FAA/NCAM • FY2001-2005 What is SATS? SATS is a research & development project on Aviation capabilities leading to integrated flight demonstrations in 2005 • Higher-Volume Operations in Non-Radar Airspace at Non-Towered Facilities:Reliable Access to More Destinations through Efficient Use of Underutilized Airspace • Lower Landing Minimums at Minimally-Equipped Landing Facilities:More Landing Facilities Available More Often At Less Cost • Increase Single-Pilot Crew Safety & Mission Reliability: Safer Small Aircraft Operations, Greater Throughput in Underutilized Airspace • Enroute Procedures & Systems for Integrated Fleet Operations:Increased Mobility Without Sacrificing Capacity
