FAA & USAF Partnership • FAA Military Partnerships • AFFSA Det 1 active duty collocated • USAFR unit assigned • Purpose is to receive training and share assets for Military Contingencies • Iraq • Afghanistan • Military Exercises
AVN Function Realignment • Effective October 2010 • Created Mission Support Services (AJV-0) • Primary Group involving Tech Ops is now “Aeronautical Products” (AJV-3); Known to us a “NFPO” or “AVN-100” • NOTAMS • Procedure cancelation • Alternate missed Procedures
AVN Function Realignment • AVN (AJW-3); Flight Inspection, Remains in Tech Ops • IFP Development, Production and Publication now resides in MSS (AJV-0) • Aeronav Products (AJV-3) • The AIRNAV database now in Aeronautical Information Managament (AJV-2) • Flight Procedure Offices (FPO), now at Operational support Groups in the Service Areas
Purpose of Flight Inspection • Evaluate signal in space – correlate ground measurements to airborne reference • Evaluate obstacles within flight path area • Evaluate flight procedures for pilot workload, flyability and infrastructure support
Types of Flight Inspection • Commissioning • New Installations optimally configured • New Instrument Procedures • Periodic • Facilities and Obstacle Assessments • Specials • Post Accident • Facility Maintenance • User Complaints (e.g., Wind Turbines) • Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) • Combat/Contingency/Shipboard TACAN • NextGen Implementation • ADS-B, RNP, LPV/LP WAAS, LAAS, ASDE-X
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) • Aircraft are equipped with a Spectrum Analyzer and Direction Finder to identify RFI • AVN works closely with the Spectrum Office to determine whether a Flight Check can help in finding RFI sources • Many successful RFI missions have been flown since the Program was Initiated
Nextgen Initiatives ADS-B Coverage Wide Area MultiLat (WAM) LAAS/GBAS ASDE-X PBN Procedures (RNP; LPV; LNAV; VNAV)
Scheduling Process • Specials generate itinerary • Congressional/ High Air Traffic Impact • Return to service • Provide new service • Periodic inspections are the filler (dates not a factor) • Maximize on-facility/minimize enroute
