  1. C/N/S-ATM in a post 9/11 world Captain Joe Burns Director – Flight Standards & Technology

  2. Outline • Pre 9-11 activities • The “new” reality and future planning • Key Aircraft Technologies • United’s new activity plan • Recommendations

  3. Pre 9/11 activities • CPDLC Build 1 Trials • Airline push for FANS expansion • Strong ADS-B push • Electronic Documents/EFB • “Big” Broadband to Aircraft • Substantial NEXCOM participation • ATM improvements

  4. The “new” future • What are the critical activities? • Keep the airline running • Mandates • Reimbursement potential? • What are Safety and Security items? • What are the high payback items? • NPV of all projects to be considered • Slow-down and analyze “knee-jerk” mandates • JV Activities with Airlines as minorities

  5. Future Activity blueprints • NASA • FAA OEP • Industry

  6. Ground Navaids(VOR, DME) Navaids & GPS Satellite Based (GPS) Precision Navigation Voice, Data, Imagery Comm Interactive Surveillance (Super ADS) • Broadband Communications • Smart Network Digital Voice & Narrowband Datalink Analog Voice Radar Radar & ADS-B (State) Radar The Vision: Integration & Convergence

  7. NASA’s “Blueprint for the Future” • Enhanced Communications • Enhanced Navigation • Enhanced Surveillance • Digital Atmosphere • Digital Airport • Enhanced Air Traffic Management

  8. FAA OEP

  9. Implementation Strategy Demand recovery Domestic Enplanements Financial recovery ??? Equip remaining fleet 18 mos. Equip new aircraft Build and instrument select new runways 9/11 Implement procedural and airspace changes

  10. Arrival / Departure (AD) Building new runways and using new terminal and surface procedures to improve airport capacity

  11. AD-3 Reduced Navaids/RNP Arrivals $39M NPV to UAL

  12. AD-7 Enhanced Surface Awareness

  13. Airport Weather (AW) Make airport operations less sensitive to weather

  14. AW-2 Decreased Spacing Tough Business Case, However AW-1 is $36M NPV

  15. En Route Congestion (ER) Increased in-flight flexibility to prevent congestion by increases in physical capacity and decreases in controller workload

  16. ER-3 CPDLC Datalink vs. Voice Tough Business Case

  17. ER-4 US DRVSM $82M NPV to UAL

  18. En Route Severe Weather (EW) Reduce in-flight uncertainty due to weather and optimize related operational procedures

  19. EW-2 Respond Better to Hazardous WX

  20. EW-2 Respond Better to Hazardous WX

  21. Key Technologies to focus on: • GPS • Smart Display • Enhanced Altimetry • Datalink • FMS

  22. GPS GPS RNP/RNAV AD-3 (Terminal Airspace) AW-1 (Reduced Vis. Ops.) FMS LAAS 2010 NavAid Phase out ACM ADS-B CDTI GCM Datalink Smart Display

  23. Weather E-Logging Datalink ‘A’ Datalink ‘C (Wireless)’ Pax. Info. Gate link Smart Display Smart Display Cabin Surveillance Electronic Publications/Charts TIS-B CDTI Datalink ‘B’ CPDLC

  24. Enhanced Altimetry ER-4 (Domestic US RVSM) RVSM International RVSM TCAS Version 7

  25. Datalink Weather/Turbulence Datalink CDTI Smart Display E-Logbook CPDLC Gate link E-mail (AOC and Passenger) DDTC AUTOMET/MDCRS *FIX Web/Video NEXCOM AD-6 (ADS-B Surface) GPS

  26. Advanced FMS FMS ER-1, EW-2 (RNP/RNAV) AD-3 (RNP/RNAV) AW-1 (RNP/RNAV) CPDLC FANS Automated Publications Smart Display RTA LAAS Training Reduction

  27. Communications Navigation Surveillance ATM Information Safety and Security United’s Activity Plan

  28. World Radiocommunications Conference CPDLC Domestic US FANS expansion Flight Information Services Broadband Aircraft Wireless System Evaluations/EMI Testing NEXCOM VDL/2 ACARS Communications activity examples:

  29. Navigation activity examples: • LAAS • Dual GPS MMR's Retrofit • DRVSM • RNP/RNAV enroute/approaches • Standardized Advanced FMS – All Fleets

  30. Surveillance activity examples: • FANS expansion • Elementary Mode-S • Enhanced Mode-S? • ADS-B Transmit or Full System? • CDTI • Multilateration and Ramp Management

  31. ATM activity examples: • SOIA/PRM • LAHSO or SIRO • Boeing & Airbus’ ATM programs • ATC Automation tools and processes • Enhanced CRDA • URET • RTA • pFAST • Free Flight Phase 2

  32. AUTOMET/MDCRS Electronic Documents - EFB Airline Operating System Wireless Access/IROPs Web-Based Distance Learning Information Systems examples:

  33. Turbulence Detection/ Prediction/Mitigation (Air and Ground based) Oceanic Weather Support Cabin Surveillance Flight Deck Fortress Doors Secondary Barrier Doors EGPWS/X-Band Radar Safety/Security activity examples:

  34. Finally…Recommendations • Focus on Mandates • Incorporate into other projects when able • Look for high return • Take advantage in traffic “lull” to try new concepts • Include avionic upgrades in all new a/c purchases • build-in provisions for avionic upgrades ahead of major hardware • Actively Engage with all parties timelines of key programs • Look to partner
