RTCA SC-214/EUROCAE WG78 CPDLC OSA/OPA Status
CPDLC OSA Status • Latest draft version I distributed to CSG/VSG on 19 Sept 2011 • Major changes in 19 Sept 2011 version • Draft of Oceanic SRs Integrated into the CPDLC OSA from DO-306/ED122 • need to handle SC-214 SRs that do not directly match DO-306/ED122 SRs • FIM safety analysis added • Graphical D-TAXI added • Addition of FT for Hazard OH-CPDLC-2 (Severity 4) “Loss of Service for Multiple Aircraft” • Changes to FTs for hazards OH-CPDLC-3 through 6 (FTs for OH-CPDLC-7 through 9 still need work) • Wim and Todd made further refinements to FTs and SR tables for Hazards OH-CPDLC-3 through OH-CPDLC-5 on 27 September 2011
CPDLC OSA Status (Cont.) • Major changes in 19 Sept 2011 version (Cont.) • Simplified human quantitative assumptions and provided better supporting evidence [CARA – controller; System Safety … - Flight Crew] added in an Appendix • Used for FT allocations only • Only qualitative requirements on humans in SRs • Relevant changes to SRs based on changes to FTs (not all changes to SRs have been reflected in the summary of SRs at the end) • Some of this has been done but not a full scrub yet • Bottom Line: no major changes to SRs so far • Better explanation of unit conversions used in FTs/SRs has been added using a realistic scenario (2 hour domestic flight) • PDRs are 90% aligned with current changes to OSA; will add PDRs for other changes as soon as possible
CPDLC OSA Work to be Done • Add tracing of SRs to ATS functions • Recently discussed (on 27 Sept 2011) and found that all SRs apply to all ATS functions except for two SRs: one specifically for DCL and one specifically for Graphical D-TAXI • Therefore do not see need for separate table of SRs per ATS function • Perform review of ASOR (FTs and SRs) for hazards OH-CPDLC-6,7,8, and 9 • OSA Integration: Find other requirements (ORs, IRs, etc.) for the “Category 3” SC-214 SRs that do not directly match up with DO-306/ED122 SRs that can be considered equivalent • Check LWCE calculated for each hazard from estimated probabilities of Basic Causes through FT/ET to effect (for FAA ATO SMS use) • This is a check of acceptable safety risk for FAA ATO • Check to see if changes in CDPLC OSA affect 4DTRAD OSA
CPDLC OPA Status • Latest Version Draft OPA version I released is dated 13 September 2011 • Workwasfocusedon getting the RCP specificationscorrect in the spirit of GOLD and to smooth the integrationwith the Oceanicside • Completededitorialimprovements (RSP definitions, ATS functions, etc.) • Completed RCP specificationsfor CPDLC and D-FIS • Partiallycompleted RSP specifications for ADS-C • TheOceanic-based RCP240D and RCP400/D data from GOLD needs to addedto CPDLC OPA
OPA Issues • Confirm choice of RCP for FIM • Do weneedPerformance specificationsfor DLIC? It iscurrentlyincluded, but thereis no ATS functionbehindit. • RCP60 for CPDLC wasremoved • currentthoughtisthat CPDLC is not suitable to bethattight and have observedopposition from pilots. Is this the right conclusion? • ThreeRCP types are needed to cover the various Continental ATS functions. • Are 3 differenttts times (ACC Comms, Complex Route, 4DTRAD) manageable for an En-route centre? • Do weneed to differentiatebetweencomplex route clearance outside 4D TBO contextwith RCP180 and complex route clearance used in 4D TBO with RCP300? • Can weeliminate RCP180?
OPA Issues (Cont.) • All allocations are requirements, includingtimes for the INITIATOR.However, a performance requirement on controllerand pilot are rathercontroversialwhenitcomes to Opsapproval. Appropriatewordingisrequired on its intention of the INIT times to takeaway the concerns of Operators and airframemanufacturers. A complicating factor: thereis not yet a description of a representative HMI and Ops scenario to guide the certification body. Question: How do weprovide guidance on certification of human performance times?
OPA Issues (Cont.) • Specified 99.9% probability for RCTP(aircraft), RCTP(ATSU), RCTP(ACSP). This issuitable for monitoring the performance throughoutitslifetime. However, itisverydifficult to show 99.9% compliancebefore a system is in operational use (requires10,000 exchanges to get a pretty stable picture). It wasmentioned once to alsospecifythe 99% value to easecompliance for airframe/avionicsmanufacturers. What are yourideas? • In continental airspace, the ADS-C application is not used for surveillance; howeverwesuggestusing RSP ratherthan RCP to remain consistent withoceanicterminology
OPA Issues (Cont.) • There is no ATS function for ADS-C otherthan 4D TBO. Need to create new ATS function • Need to have a delineationbetweensmall reports and large reports • Large reports are only for a large number of waypoints in EPP • For large reports (128 waypoints), report size is unknown • Temporarily used 20 KB to estimate aircraft/ACSP/ATSU delay specification • verification required by airframe/avionics manufacturers, ACSPs, and ANSPs
