  1. SmartPath® SLS-4000 Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Michael UnderwoodDirector, Business Development

  2. ICAO GANIS Block 0 Upgrades B0-65: OPTIMISATION OF APPROACH 2 PROCEDURES I NCLUDING VERTICAL GUIDANCE First implementation of GNSS-based approaches. PBN/GLS procedures enhance the reliability and predictability of approaches Increasing safety, accessibility and efficiency. Flexibility inherent in PBN approach design can be exploited to increase capacity.

  3. Technology & Safety Across the Entire Ecosystem

  4. SmartPath® and Ecosystem Overview

  5. Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Why augment GPS for precision approach? 1. How do we augment GPS for precision approach? 4. 5. 2. 2. 3. 2. 2.

  6. SmartPath GBAS Unrestricted Operations • The first unrestricted GLS landing occurred at Bremen, • Germany 9 Feb 2012 • Air Berlin flight AB6573 landed at 21:52 local time using Honeywell SmartPath system • The Second GBAS “Go Live” occurred on 28 Sept at Newark Liberty International Airport Newark NJ

  7. Honeywell’s SmartPath is the first, and only, FAA/Inter’l-approved CAT-I GBAS It will provide CAT I/II/III precision approach and landing capability What is a SmartPath® GBAS? Remote Satellite Measurement Unit (RSMU) Differential GPS (DGPS) Control & VHF Data Broadcast (VDB) Cabinet Air Traffic Control Status Unit (ATSU) VHF Data Broadcast (VDB) Antenna • GPS Receiver packaged in an environmentally protective enclosure • Multi-path Limiting Antenna • Requires site survey and placement against sitting/installation criteria • Integrity Monitoring Algorithms • FAA-certified DO-278 Software • Maintenance Data Terminal (MDT) • SLS Status Panel installed in Air Traffic Control Tower or other location

  8. SmartPath® GBAS Value Summary • Increased airport capacity:SmartPath unlocks capacity constraints • Offers precision approach where ILS cannot due to geography • Enables flexible approaches,(26), improved accuracy versus ILS • Airport benefits from increased revenue (landings fees, concessions, etc.) and cost avoidance (capacity increase w/o adding runways) • Lower life-cycle cost:SmartPath is more cost efficient than ILS • One SmartPath GBAS serves all runways, initial acquisition cost is lower • Lower maintenance cost • Lower flight inspection cost • Safety:SmartPath improves safety • Certification pedigree • Signal stability (immune to signal bends inherent in ILS) • Reduced noise/shorter routes:Variable glide slopes, RNAV/RNP to GLS finals • Airlines benefit: fuel and emission savings, increased schedule flexibility, avoid noise violations • Airports benefit: increased capacity and schedule flexibility, improved community relations

  9. GBAS Benefits • Increased Airport Capacity • Lower Lifecycle Cost • Decreased Noise • Increased Safety Multiple Concurrent Operations Variable Glideslope & Displaced Threshold “Clear Zone” Elimination

  10. GBAS Source of Value – Multiple Customers Alignment of all Stakeholders is key to SmartPath Sales

  11. GBAS Guidance Implementation 737NG – GLS forward fit, retrofit 787 – GLS basic 747-8 – GLS basic A-380 – GLS Option A-320 – GLS option A-340 – GLS option A-330 – GLS option A-350 – GLS Basic GPS Antenna Cockpit Displays MMR Aircraft Surfaces Aircraft PilotInterface Autopilot GPS error corrections, integrity, AND path points DATALINK – VHF Data Broadcast (VDB) Local Ground Facility Antenna Differential Corrections, Integrity Status and Approach Coordinates Data Broadcast Monitor GPS DGPS Computes Differential Corrections Provides Integrity Check Provides Approach Coordinates Transmitter Receiver Encoder Decoder Broadcast Information DGPS – Differential GPS MMR – Multi-Mode Receiver (GPS, VDB, ILS, etc) VDB – VHF Data Broadcast (Link to aircraft)

  12. GLS Uses Existing Aircraft Architecture – Reduces Training Costs & Maximizes Operational Benefits • ILS look alike • Glideslope • Localizer GLS – GPS Landing System ILS – Instrument Landing System HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL

  13. SmartPath®Certification

  14. CAT-I Certification Certification Process • System Design Approval (SDA) – Manufacturer • Ground station system design meets requirements • Developed to appropriate design assurance levels • Facility Approval – Owner/ANSP/Airport • Ground station installed • Flight test completed, approach flyability, VDB coverage • VDB = VHF Data Broadcast (i.e. ground-to-airborne signal in space) • Maintenance technicians trained, certified • ANSP = Air Navigation Service Provider (e.g. FAA in the U.S.) • Service Approval – Operator/Airline • Aircraft equipped • Pilot, crews trained • Operational Approvals • First To Certify: • Bremen Germany; German Type Approval received 30 Nov • 1st International Certification of SmartPath • Newark New Jersey: 28 Sept 2012 • Houston Intercontinental;:April 2013 • Sydney Australia Q2 2013 • Malaga Spain Q3 2013 • Brazil Q4 2013 SmartPath: World’s First, FAA-Approved and Int’l CAT-I GBAS

  16. Piecing It All Together s Taking Concept to Reality

  17. Putting it All Together:Honeywell Hughes Integrated PBN Solutions PBN Roadmap Flt Ops Efficiency OperationalApprovals Airspace Design & Procedure Development New! ICAO Approved Third Party Procedure Design Aircraft Equipage Air Traffic Management

  18. RPAT: 2.5 Degree on 30L with 3.2 on North. FAFs displaced 3.8nm Single RPAT Concept Both turns are 2.0nm radii Both FAFs are 3.99nm apart The north runway assumes current ILS operations of 3 degrees HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL

  19. Dual RPAT: 2.5 on South, and 3.2 on North. FAFs laterally offset and 6.4nm apart. Note the altitude differences on the waypoints below based on the associated GPS Dual RPAT Concept 1,583’ HUGHES PROPRIETARY 905’ HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL

  20. SmartPath® Delay Savings • Off-Load (6) Aircraft to Secondary Runway/Hr • 55 minutes Delay vs. 315 minutes Delay • Arrivals – compacted demand (even small queues) generate significant cumulative delays and increased operating costs for arriving aircraft – $65 per min • A single runway, AAR of 30, demand of 30, will generate 200 – 400 delay minutes per hour ($26K ops cost) -- US also considers Passenger Value of Time (PVT) $35 p/hr per passenger for investment decisions • PVT is equal to or greater than ops cost • Moving a small number of aircraft out of the queue to an offload runway reduces delay significantly HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL

  21. Summary / Discussion

  22. Summary/Discussion • The GBAS Era is here • Recognized Value Proposition • A single SmartPath at an airport • Provides precision approach to all runway ends • Enables numerous additional air operations • Provides precision approach where an ILS cannot • SmartPath received FAA approval; Growth to Cat II/III • Airborne equipage increasing • Global GBAS/GLS realization is accelerating- now is the time to incorporate GBAS into your plans Honeywell can provide a total Performance Based Navigation solution providing value to ANSPs, airlines, and the flying public
