Current Status GBAS Cat-I ICAO GBAS Cat-I SARPs already issued Approved ICAO compliant system in Australia (Part 171 change) in 2008 at Sydney International Airport Strong support from international airlines Qantas, Lufthansa, Fedex, Continental Air Micronesia Sydney Beta GBAS Cat-I – installation completed October 2005 Sydney Beta GBAS Cat-I – first broadcast 29 October 2005 DFS Germany has a beta GBAS Cat-I (Frankfurt, soon Bremen) AENA Spain has a beta GBAS Cat-I (Malaga) Memphis Tennessee has beta GBAS Cat-1 Global reach of GBAS Cat-I is increasing Goal - gate to gate precision navigational service for aircraft

B-737NG GLS Certification Status Certification Flight Test Verification, validation complete Demonstrated at SeaTac & Moses Lake using Beta LAAS Operations (including automatic landings) demonstrated at adjacent airports: Ephrata, Boeing Field & Paine Field Test airplane flown against FAA prototype ground station at Rio de Janeiro (Galeao) with approaches to adjacent airport (Santos Dumont) QANTAS - 9 B-737NG with GBAS Cat-1 avionics - 24 B-737s may be retrofitted with GBAS Cat-1 avionics Boeing and Airbus plan to introduce GLS on all forward fit aircraft and retrofit where cost effective

A-380 GLS Certification Status QANTAS will take delivery of 12 x A-380s with GBAS Cat-I avionics Other Airbus aircraft to be procured will be fitted with GBAS Cat-I avionics Boeing B-737NG, B-787, B-777 (New), B-747-8 will all gave GBAS Cat-1 as standard avionics fitment

Australian Augmentation Experience LAAS SCAT-1 Melbourne Airport (Honeywell SLS-2000) LAAS SCAT-1 Canberra Airport (Raytheon DIAS-3100) LAAS SCAT-1 Avalon Airport (Honeywell SLS-2000) LAAS SCAT-1 Norfolk Island (Honeywell SLS-2000) GBAS CAT-1 Sydney Airport (Honeywell SLS-3000)

ICAO Compliant GBAS Cat-I in Australia Airservices Australia negotiated with Honeywell International to bring an ICAO compliant GBAS Cat-I to completion Approximately 22 months to complete RTCA DO-178B/278 compliant software – commenced 10 April 2006 Approximately 6 months of certification Civil Aviation Safety Authority involved from Day 1 Aim is to have CASA approve Part 171 change to allow operation of completed system by 3rd quarter 2008 or earlier Germany, Spain and USA offered to assist and those offers were accepted. GNSS Technical Memorandum of Cooperation signed with FAA 9 February 2006

2nd Last Message New aircraft are being fitted with GBAS Cat-I avionics B-737s will be retrofitted with GBAS Cat-I avionics Qantas has taken the lead internationally GBAS Cat-I is HERE and it is HERE to STAY 73% of the world’s airports are GBAS Cat-I (IATA study) GBAS Cat-I offers more than ILS Legacy aircraft will be around for a long time and SOME ILS will remain but not as many

No single augmentation system provides a global answer – Final Message: No single augmentation system provides a global answer – There is a synergy between, and a need for, all four ICAO augmentation systems

Thank you
