UPS ADS-B/TCASB-757/767 Installation ASAS Thematic Network Third Workshop April 19,2004 Captain Jim Walton United Parcel Service Advanced Flight Department
Overview • Fleet Status • Development and Installation Decision • ADS-B/TCAS System • Operational Approvals • Status • Applications in Development
Fleet Status • 32 B-767—100% • 73 B-757—97% • 11 A300-600—1090 Squit Only
Development and Installation Decision • Standalone versus Integrated • Certification Issues • Location • Limitations for use • Cost • Development • Installation • Time to installation • Critical
ADS-B/TCAS System • Cockpit Display of Traffic (CDTI) • CDTI control panel • Link Data Processor Unit (LDPU) • TCAS computer • RA/TA VSIs
RA RA CDTI IVSI IVSI RA/TA bus RA/TA bus LDPU TCAS ADS-B/TCAS Architecture

CDTI • Correlated TCAS and ADS-B traffic • Multi-function display (MFD) 757/767 • Weather • Terrain • Navigation • Traffic • Non-traffic information selectable from Captain or FO EFIS • Range control changes with non-traffic information displayed
Correlated TCAS & ADS-B • LDPU Processes TCAS display bus output to form one correlated view of both ADS-B & TCAS traffic. • Correlated TCAS & ADS-B displayed as chevron or bullet. • TCAS TA/RA, combine data into new symbol
New Symbols and Functionality Correlated TCAS TA (yellow circle) with ADS-B directional data (pulsing chevron, bullet) Correlated TCAS RA (red square) with ADS-B directional data (pulsing chevron, bullet)
Correlation Algorithms • Human Factors Considerations • Target Correlation • Affect of missed correlation (duplicate target) • Affect of false correlation (missing target) • Colors • Display Icons • Annunciations
Operational Approval • Enhanced see and avoid • Enhanced situational awareness • Limitations • No maneuvers authorized except as allowed by TCAS RA maneuver
Status • ADS-B benefit study in progress • Co-opted with FAA • Metrics collection • Jumpseat observations • Union and company feedback sites • ADS-B/TCAS system installed in all domestic aircraft since January 2004. • Enhanced visual approach in use • Flight crews extremely pleased with capability
Applications in Development • Initial phase of CDTI enhanced flight rules (CEFR) • Misnomer • VMC • Maintain airport in sight • ‘Call Sign’ procedure • Deviation authorized for Louisville ATC • Pilot use • Controller use
