  1. The A/C Weather Observation Contribution to NextGen Capt. Mark Bradley Chief Technical Pilot Delta Air Lines

  2. NextGen Goals • Reduce congestion • Accommodate Growth • Improve Safety • Reduce environment impact of aviation • Reduce Weather Delays

  3. NextGen Components • Communication/Data Link • Navigation - 4D Trajectory • Surveillance – ADS-B (Comm./Data ??) • Integrated Weather to support 4D Trajectory

  4. Weather Policy Integration • Three distinct entities – FAA(DOT), DOC, DOD • Integration components (80/20 rule) • Technical • Policy • Funding • 2011 DOT Inspector General Study • NOAA work on 4D Cube=Commerce requirements • NOAA expects FAA funding for Aviation • NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW)

  5. Aircraft Weather Data Issues • Who sets data requirements? Varies • Who provides the data? Me thinks A/C • Who gets the data to the ground? Varies • Who routes the data on the ground? Varies • Who processes the data? Varies • Who owns the data? Provider of the data??? • Who pays for the data? $64K Question • Example

  6. Challenges • Defining requirements • Define the technologies • Defining schedules • Managing execution • Naming specific parties for accountability • Responding to continual IG reports • Managing the whole package including costs

  7. Solutions • Stop the blame game • Stop requirements creep, especially individuals (=Accountability) • Develop & Validate Goals & Benefits • Create teams & Assign resources • Conduct reviews to ensure accountability • Define costs and create consensus early
