Navigation Reference System Expect a more immediate use by GA and corporate aircraft, with a gradual increase of usage by Airlines. Aircraft database memory limitations will restrict user ability to fly the NRS. Some aircraft have less that 128K of onboard memory !!!! 12 April, 2004 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N • A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N

Navigation Reference System Customers seek to file flight plans based on their own operational priorities. To the maximum extent possible, these aircraft should be left on the filed route. Filing via NRS and/or NRR (the Non-Restrictive Routing portion of High Altitude Redesign) gives users freedom to develop a flight path that meets all goals. 12 April, 2004 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N • A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N

Navigation Reference System Aircraft capable of using the NRS should include HAR or PTP in remarks. HAR indicates ability to use all of the NRS. PTP indicates Limited or No NRS capability. Controllers should be aware this is not a mandatory filing standard. System Users have been asked for voluntary compliance. It is possible controllers may find conflicting information. Issues? Notify your NAR FLT so the HAR office can address the problem. 12 April, 2004 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N • A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N

www.ato.faa.gov Slide 13 – End Slide You can check out our progress and view some of our performance measures at www.ato.faa.gov. With the establishment of the ATO, we’re creating room for the professionals in the FAA to exercise their judgment and apply their knowledge to achieve goals that are explicitly stated and clearly measured. We’re creating a government organization that honors performance above process, cost-awareness above fiscal indifference, innovation above rigidity, and transparency above the self-protective cover of sometimes arcane rules and regulations. I’m delighted to be part of such an exciting and rewarding adventure. 12 April, 2004 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N • A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N
