  1. Hydrographic Service Review Panel FAA use of NOAA Services HSRP George P. Sempeles 17 September 2015

  2. Long, long relationship Oldest scientific agency in the United States • “Survey of the Coast” established February 10, 1807 by Thomas Jefferson • Renamed “US Coast and Geodetic Survey” in 1878 • USC&GS transferred to Commerce & Labor Department in 1903 • Air Commerce Act of 1926 directs US C&GS to begin charting the nations airways and providing weather services to civilian aviation • 1927 the first aeronautical chart was published, Kansas City to Moline, Illinois • 1946 Airports Obstructions Chart program began

  3. Long, long relationship • 1957 the first aerial photographic mission performed by C&GS • 1959 first survey using photogrammetry • NOAA created in 1970 by Richard Nixon, C&GS reorganized to National Ocean Survey of which aeronautical services were assigned • Reorganized in 1977, aeronautical services assigned to Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Services • 1994, Airports Navigations Approach (ANA) program began • 2000, Public Law 106-181 transferred aeronautical charting functions from NOAA to the FAA

  4. But…the NOAA-FAA relationship didn’t stop in 2000 as a result of the transfer

  5. NOAA-FAA Interagency Agreement • Quality Review of 3rd party Aeronautical Surveys • In support of the FAA Office of Airports Surveying Geographic Information System (AGIS)program • Conduct Aeronautical Surveys in accordance with FAA Office of Airports Advisory Circulars in support of downstream requirements of: • Aeronautical Information Services • Wide Area Augmentation System Program • Transponder Landing System Program • Airway Facilities Tower Integration Lab • Performance-Based Navigation routes & procedures

  6. NOAA-FAA Interagency Agreement • Obstruction Verification • Re-determine accuracy of legacy FAA obstacle data • Increase integrity of FAA obstacle databases improving downstream products and services • Instrument Approach Procedure development • Required Navigation Performance • Technical Advise, Studies and Public Education

  7. Airport surveying continued

  8. Airport air photography continued

  9. Airport obstruction charting continued

  10. From these services the FAA makes…..

  11. Instrument Procedures As of August 20, 2015 33,119!

  12. Airport Diagrams • Over 800 Diagrams! • Most were made from legacy Obstruction Charts

  13. Digital Obstacle File

  14. Airport/Facility Directory

  15. Airports GIS

  16. Airports GIS

  17. US Gulf Coast Chart
