LAAS Complex Procedure Development Plan for the Memphis Terminal Area 20/21 November 2002 Bob Beal ISI/AND-720
Meeting Overview • LAAS Program Commissioning 6 Cat I LRIP Systems • Memphis, Phoenix, Houston, Seattle, Chicago, Juneau • LAAS Program Office in Process of Awarding Development Contract • One Essential Benefit Users Expect from LAAS is Ability to Support Complex Terminal Operations • Purpose of this Meeting is to Begin to Define LAAS Procedures for MEMPHIS
LAAS Category I, II, III Precision Approach Capability with Extended Range - Extends Precision Approach Guidance from 10 to 20NM - Provides PVT Coverage to 60NM Multiple Runway Coverage One LAAS Will Provide Precision Approach Service for Multiple Runway Ends at an Airport Advanced Approaches/Departures To Avoid Obstacles, Noise Sensitive Areas, or Congested Airspace Remote Coverage Augments Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in Various Locations (Terrain, Traffic Volume) Aircraft Surface Navigation Possible Data Input for Surface Movement (Supports)

Procedure DevelopmentProcess • AND-720 (Dave Peterson) has been Meeting with LAAS Users, Air Traffic Representatives, and Procedure Developers in Memphis, Chicago, and Juneau to • Better Define Anticipated LAAS Benefits • Understand Desired LAAS Operations • Establish What the LAAS Operational Integration Team Can Do to Implement Those Operations • Goal is to Develop Consensus on FAA Projects to Implement Desired LAAS Operations
Potential LAAS Benefits • Achieve Consistent, Accurate, Repeatable Performance • Expand Closely Spaced Parallel Runway Ops • Support Advanced/Complex Procedures • Support Surface Movement Applications • Eliminate Need for In-Aircraft Procedure Database • Support Extended Arrival Procedures
Potential LAAS Benefits • Support RNP Operations • Support Adjacent Airport Operations • De-conflict Airspace • Ability to Use Single LAAS System to Support Approaches at Multiple Runway Ends • Improved Terminal Area Surveillance Through Improved Navigation Accuracies • Reduce Aircraft Separation Requirements
Potential LAAS Benefits • Reduce Air Traffic Controller Workload • Reduce Obstacle Clearance Requirements • Ability to Change or Create Approach Procedures without Infrastructure Changes • Ability to Implement Multiple, Segmented, or Variable Glide Slopes • Support Runway Incursion Avoidance Systems • Compress the Density of Terminal Operations
Desired LAAS Capabilities • CAT II/III LAAS • Complex Terminal Operations • Arrivals • Approaches • Departures • Missed Approaches • Adjacent Airport Operations • Linear FAS/Simultaneous Parallel Approaches • RNP Operations • Surface Navigation • 4-Dimensional Guidance
Chicago • Improve Triple Convergent Procedure • Taking Three Phased Approach • Replace Vectored Approach to 9L with Guided LAAS Procedure Using RF-Leg • Reduce Aircraft Separation Requirements for Entire Procedure • VMC • IMC • Will Also Consider Potential Missed Approach Improvements
Procedure Development • Review Existing Memphis Operations/Procedures • Discuss Advantages/Disadvantages/Areas for Improvement/New Concepts/Issues/Constraints • Initiate Process for Developing Conceptual Procedures • Discuss Implementation Priorities • Ease of Implementation • Potential Operational Benefit (Users/ATC) • Identify Procedure Development Team Members from Memphis Area and Southern Region
LRIP Coordinators Phoenix • Tim Roe • Paul Ewing Juneau • Bob Beal • Campbell Motley Memphis • Bob Beal • Campbell Motley Seattle • Rich Cole • Paul Wagoner Houston • Tim Roe • TBD Chicago • Jeff Cochrane • Larry Oliver
Site Coordinators • Each Site has a Primary and Backup Coordinator • Facilitate the Development of the Advanced Procedures • Assist AND-720 Establish a Development Team for Each LRIP Airport • Coordinate with the Airports and Regions (Following Site Visits by AND-710 and AND-720) • Coordinate Development Team Meetings and Activities • Refine Detailed Schedules for Each Site, Track Progress, and Ensure Schedules are Being Met • Identify Issues
