Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 2 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Current Events FAA Met 27 of 30 FY06 Goals. Organizational Success = 90% Safety Goal – 3 year Rolling Average “Commercial Air Carrier Fatal Accident Rate/100,000 Departures” FY-06 Goal FY-06 Actual-.020 FY-07 Goal-.010 Expedited Approval for UAS Disaster Relief Operations –Hours vs. 60 Days –Used in November for Reconnaissance of Esperanza Wildfire Russ Chew, FAA Air Traffic Organization’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), resigned effective February 23. Robert “Bobby” Sturgell, FAA Deputy Administrator, assumed COO Duties

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 3 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Next Generation Air Transportation System Financing Reform Act of 2007* (aka FAA Reauthorization) Proposed Legislation Released February 2007 Benefits –Reduces congestion and alleviates passenger delays –Reduces travel time –Provides tax relief –Reduces emissions and noise –Improves water quality “...would replace the decades old system of collecting ticket taxes with a cost-based, stable and reliable funding program that relies on a combination of user-fees, taxes and a federal government contribution to support the development of a new, satellite-based, air traffic control system, called NextGen.” *

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 4 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Some Details of Proposed Legislation Eliminates Domestic Passenger Tax 50% Reduction in International Arrival/Departure Tax Generates Revenues Based on Costs Users Impose on System Limited New Borrowing Authority – Runways, Terminals, ATC Facilities and Equipment Establishment of Advisory Board of Aviation Community Members “... stronger say in how federal funds are invested in aviation while maintaining strong congressional and public oversight...” User pays means user says Changes in Passenger Facility Charge Program Restructuring of Airport Improvement Program Engine & Airframe Research to Reduce Emissions & Noise

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 5 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Proposed Funding Sources User Fees – 53% –Jet and turboprop flights currently subject to ticket tax –Limited, cost-based congestion fee at 30 most congested airports –Modest fees to recover costs of some certification services Fuel and International Passenger Taxes – 28% –General Aviation (GA) and Piston Users – Fuel tax based on detailed cost allocation (2 year updates) –Airport Improvement and Essential Air Service Programs, FAA R&D Funding 13.6 cents/gallon fuel tax for domestic commercial and GA users $6.39 international passenger head tax General Fund Contribution (Public Good Functions) – 19% –Safety regulation –Military user of air traffic services –Flight service stations

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 7 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Mission Need for SWIM NAS to Next Generation Air Traffic System Evolution Challenge: NAS is a hardwired collection of systems designed for specific types of decisions and decision makers –Dedicated point-to-point interfaces defined by custom interface control documents –Each interface designed, developed and maintained separately Next Generation Air Transportation System must allow: –Easy access to information by more system users and service providers –More efficient data management –System transparency to link decisions from strategic planning to tactical action

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee Briefing 8 Federal Aviation Administration February 28, 2007 Why SWIM? NAS data remains relatively unavailable to the FAA Enterprise - Access is limited by the controlling application, shielded behind proprietary software, and funneled through a few complex and rigidly guarded portals. SWIM will –migrate NAS applications toward a loosely coupled, open-distributed processing environment thereby exposing data to both new and legacy applications –support interoperability among NAS Systems –reduce the number of unique NAS interfaces IDS STARS ATOP WARP ARTS TMA DBRITE ERAM ITWS MEARTS Inter- Agency SWIM STARS ATOP WARP ARTS TMA DBRITE ERAM ITWS MEARTS Inter- Agency ETMS
