APEC Seminar on Practical Measures to Manage Aviation Emissions

1. APEC Seminar on Practical Measures to Manage Aviation Emissions Collaboration on Aviation Emissions Reduction Partnerships Presented by: Federal Aviation Administration April 3-4, 2008 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

2. Overview • Global Aviation and the Environment • Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions (AIRE) • Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions (ASPIRE)

3. Global Aviation and the Environment • The air transportation industry is essential for future economic growth and development, as aircraft carry approximately 40% of the value of all world trade. • Last year 2.2 billion people flew on the world’s airlines, more passengers than ever before, with predictions of 9 billion passengers by 2025 • The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emission (mostly from carbon) to aviation • As global aviation continues to grow and become a vital part of the worldwide economy, pressure to address environmental impacts will increase

4. ICAO Strategic Objectives • In Support of ICAO’S Strategic Objectives • Minimize the adverse effect of Global Civil Aviation on the environment • Enhance the efficiency of aviation operations

5. AIRE Background • Hasten development of operational procedures to reduce aviation’s environmental foot print on a “gate-to-gate” basis • Quantify environmental benefits to aid in formulation of potential business cases • Accelerate incorporation and worldwide interoperability of procedures/standards • Capitalize on existing technology on either side of Atlantic • Identify implementation issues, obstacles, choke points, metrics and solutions

6. Oceanic EnRoute EnRoute Departure Arrival Surface Surface AIRE AIRE Domains

7. AIRE Progress to Date • AIRE Agreement announced at Paris Air Show in June 2007 • Initial FAA AIRE program plan published in December 2007 • Continued planning on FY08 operational concept demos to show reduced engine emissions: • Continuous Descent Arrivals at Atlanta and Miami (May 2008) • Tailored arrivals at Miami (May 2008) • Surface enhancements at New York (JFK) and Memphis (Sept 2008) • Oceanic enhancements in the Atlantic (Sept 2008)

8. 2008 AIRE Oceanic Demo Aircraft on a Pre-Optimization Flight profile 1 Optimization Tool recalculates profile on updated conditions 2 Oceanic Coordinator trial probes Improved trajectory 3 Aircraft A FL 300 Mach 084 Profile Available: Coordinator sends new profile to controller for clearance 4a Profile Not Available: Coordinator trial probes alternatives (Speed, Altitude, Route) 4b Alternative profile sent to Flight Operations for assessment 5 If alternative profile is acceptable it is sent to ATC for clearance 6 Optimization Sequence CDG Coordination and Clearance Sequence MIA Sequences repeat at frequent interval (e.g. every 60 minutes)

9. Pacific Partnership

10. Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions (ASPIRE) • After the launch of AIRE in June 2007, a counterpart program in the Asia Pacific region was envisioned to leverage the efforts of existing North and South Pacific informal working groups (IPACG and ISPACG) and encourage a stronger focus on environmental benefits • This Asia Pacific program became known as the Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions, or ASPIRE • High level statement on ASPIRE collaboration was signed on February 18, 2008 in Singapore between the FAA, Airservices Australia, and Airways New Zealand. • Extended participation is needed and encouraged from Asia Pacific ANSPs, airlines and industry in order to fully progress operational emissions reduction initiatives. • Initial ASPIRE efforts will focus on South Pacific initiatives, with future expansion to the North Pacific and the rest of the Asia Pacific region.

11. ASPIRE Objectives • Hasten development of operational procedures to reduce aviation’s environmental foot print on a “gate-to-gate” basis – covering each stage of airport operations: surface, departure, en route, arrival. • Accelerate incorporation and worldwide interoperability of procedures/standards. • Capitalize on existing technology in place across the Pacific. • Provide a systematic approach which combines a set of short, medium, and long-term initiatives to enhance environmental and efficiency performance. • Better identify issues, obstacles, choke points, metrics and solutions through cross-fertilization of demonstrations, development and flight trials in the Asia Pacific region.

12. ASPIRE Candidate Initiatives • Performance Metrics • User Preferred Route (UPR) Expansion • Dynamic Airborne Reroute Programs (DARP) • Tailored Arrivals • End-to-End Demonstration

13. Performance Metrics • Highest priority initiative projected under ASPIRE • Metrics will catalog the efficiency and emissions gains to date since the introduction of the following South Pacific initiatives: • Dynamic Airborne Reroute Program (DARP) • User Preferred Routes (UPR) • 30nm lateral/30nm longitudinal separation • Goal is to formalize emission gains so far and to create a common baseline for future work • Requires participation and data from all ASPIRE partners

15. User Preferred Route Dynamic Reroute Dynamic Airborne Reroute Programs (DARP)

16. Oceanic Tailored Arrivals Comprehensive trajectory based arrival clearance to a coastal destination airport using FANS Datalink TAs are designed to produce a lower power, low noise approach profile • Trials are underway at San Francisco • Atlantic coastal trials planned for 2008 • Future implementation in coastal destinations will be based on 2008 trials and analysis
