ADS-B:Tomorrow is Already Here Captain Bob Hilb UPS Airlines/Cargo Airline Association
The Problem Overcoming capacity constraints while improving Safety REQUIRES: A transition from procedures based control to technology based distributed redundant air traffic management
ADS-B: The Enabler • Traffic information displayed to controllers and pilots • Flexible • Inexpensive • Simple • With moving maps in the air and on the surface providing unparalleled situational awareness
ADS-B : Capacity and Safety • Key to Capacity • Right tool to do the job • Right person doing the job • Key to Safety • Redundancy
ADS-B and Capacity • July 1999 - Operational Evaluation Wilmington, Ohio • Demonstration of air-air capabilities • Pilots maintained precise spacing in traffic pattern • Planned 95 approaches - completed 217 • Approach Spacing • Engaging controllers will enhance terminal area operations even more
Holding Patterns 6/7/8/9 k “KITPE” (10nm) MAIZE CHERI Night PATTERN 35L INSIDE COVEY DAMEN Vref 230 kts 7K msl CRDNL Spacing Criteria AWLEE 7 [9] nm OUTSIDE COVEY RDBRD Landing Config. 150 kts variable Slow 180 kts 4 [6] nm 3 [5] nm BRBON R-3704 DEPARTURE SPACING APP. SPACING FINAL APP, (VMC) COLTT JBEAM “Cleared ILS” Int. LOC @ COLTT, slow 210 kts, then D 6k
ADS-B and Capacity • Improved departure spacing • Pilot managed departure sequence • Decreased separation in oceanic and non-radar airspace - 60 miles down to 15? • Decreased and predictable taxi times in low visibility • Closely spaced parallel operations - MSP, DTW, SFO
ADS-B and Safety • Tenerife • Quincy • St. Louis • Detroit • Chicago • Providence PREVENTABLE!
ADS-B and Safety • Eliminate runway incursion • Safe taxi in low visibility • Improved emergency response • Superior surveillance in hostile geography • Strategic conflict detection and resolution
Display Problem • Current Location Forward Pedestal • Map, Terrain, Weather, CPDLC • Early Applications • Future Primary Field of View • CSPA, Paired Approach • Upgrade Symbol Generators • Smart Display • Next Generation Aircraft
The Challenge Break out of the radar paradigm Focus on implementation It Only Takes: Will, Leadership, Partnership
Industry Contribution • $30 Million • 12 Aircraft in 1999 • 10 fully equipped, additional 80 wired and ready for displays in 2000 • Committed to an additional 125 in 2001 • Working on achievable set of applications in 2000/2001 - surface and terminal area
FAA Contribution • Safe Flight 21 - $10 million in FY’00 • Asking for $30 million in FY’01 • Capstone Alaska and Ohio Valley All Work Leads to Implementation! Not an R & D Project!
