PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Other related work GOLD implementation and amendment –1 st QTR 2013 – GOLD, 2 nd Edition, target completion –See GOLD briefing for more –Linked to data link projects, e.g., FOI, FOH, FOICA Inter-Regional SATCOM Voice Task Force (IRSVTF) –1 st QTR 2012 – Satellite Voice Guidance Material (SVGM), 1 st Edition, target completion –Linked to SATVOICE project

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Other “non-project” specific work Future/domestic data link, particularly in U.S. – SC­214/WG­78 next generation data link standards –New CPDLC message set underway (hot topic) 12 th Air Navigation Conference and OPLINKP –Supports global data link harmonization strategy for 12 th Air Navigation Conference in November 2012 –ICAO Communication Roadmap and Global Air Navigation Plan is dependent on SC­214/WG­78 –What data link will be in aviation system block upgrade (ASBU) 0 in 2013, ASBU 1 in 2018, and beyond? –How will mixed-capable, e.g., FANS 1/A, ATN B1 (Link 2000+) and SC­214/WG­78, fleet be handled? Phasing out and stopping partial builds

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration PARC FOI & PBC recommendations PARC submitted letter to FAA in Sep 2010 “RECOMMENDATION 1. [FANS 1/A over Iridium] (see previous slides) “RECOMMENDATION 2.In the near and mid terms, plan for and implement a performance- based framework for RCP and surveillance performance specifications.”

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration FAA responded in June 2011 “The FAA accepts PARC’s recommendation to implement a performance-based framework for [RCP and RSP] specifications for oceanic and remote operations.” “The FAA will advocate global implementation … “… with the performance-based concept, any data link technology for ATS communications will need to conform to GOLD performance specifications as prescribed by airspace requirements documents.”

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration RCP/RSP planning and implementation North Atlantic – Implementation Feb 2015 –June Endorsed RCP/RSP implementation plan –Draft proposal for amendment to NAT Regional SUPPS (Doc 7030), agree by June 2013 Asia-Pacific – Planning began in November 2010 –Sep 2011 – Ad hoc group formed to coordinate on planning –Feb Seminar and SOCM/2 –On-going - ISPACG and IPACG planning for implementation OPLINKP – Revisions to ICAO material, e.g., flight plan “P[n]” indicators

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration RCP/RSP planning and implementation Parts of concept are already being implemented –FAA currently monitoring performance at Oceanic Centers –Others, e.g., Australia, New Zealand, UK, Iceland, Canada, … OPLINKP – October 2011 –Long term transition involving mixed-capable fleet –Performance-based framework needed Extend into continental (domestic) environments Advocate concept as part of NextGen, the ICAO Communication and Surveillance Roadmaps and the Global Air Navigation Plan

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration GOLD performance monitoring Data Link ANSP performance monitoring and analysis Regional Monitoring Agency Operator CSP Aircraft manufacturer Avionics supplier Satellite operator Compliance action Continuous improvement ATSP Network

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration GOLD monitoring is not enough Performance monitoring tells us if the system was “bad” yesterday We need confidence the system will perform as expected today –Demonstrate stability of actual performance over time –Prescribe airspace requirements – qualify and approve components –Fix problems when they are found 6 Months ADS-C SATCOM New York Oakland

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Continued operational safety ANSPs need to continue GOLD performance analysis, regardless of sub-network media FAA Flight Standards Service is planning to establish a system with U.S. operators to correct any performance deficiencies detected from this monitoring –Advocate other States to do the same

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration FANS 1/A over Iridium (FOI) Sep 2010 – PARC CWG completed project Jun 2011 – FAA responded favorably Follow-on work –GOLD Performance Analysis – RCP240/RSP180 –Corrective actions – like everyone else –Performance-based See FANS 1/A over Iridium briefing for more

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Why SATCOM voice? Provides an alternative long range communication system (LRCS) to HF voice communications Dissimilarity (to HF voice) can improve overall reliability of voice communication capability Can improve quality of communications with flight operations and ATC, particularly in emergency and non-routine situations SATCOM voice is a requirement for extended operations (ETOPS) > 180 minutes Voice communications will continue to be a requirement

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration An important “added” capability ICAO Inter-Regional SATCOM Voice Task Force (IR­SVTF) is developing globally applicable satellite voice guidance material (SVGM) –Feb Seminar & IRSVTF/3 at ICAO Asia-Pacific Office in Bangkok –1st QTR 2012 – SVGM, 1 st Edition, will include guidance material on service provision, aircraft operator readiness, procedures for controller, radio operator and flight crew, and post-implementation monitoring Indicate in-flight use of portable SATCOM phones is not allowed Facilitate in establishing MMEL/MEL policies – but will not consider “no HF capability” PARC CWG will contribute to validate SVGM and substantiate recommendations to FAA –Preliminary operational test with Air Tran, New York Center and ARINC planning to begin in December 2011 SATCOM voice

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration FANS 1/A over HFDL (FOH) Mar 2011 – PARC submitted report to FAA Jan 2012 – FAA responded favorably Follow-on work –GOLD Performance Analysis – RCP400/RSP400 –Corrective actions – like everyone else Currently “turned off” FOH without SATCOM evaluations FOH with SATCOM – about percent –Performance-based

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration FANS 1/A over I4 Classic Aero (FOICA) PARC CWG completed project for FOICA project Project report expected by 2 nd or 3 rd quarter 2012 Plan Objectives –Ensure the new I-4 Classic Aero network is performing to expected levels per GOLD RCP 240 and surveillance performance 180 specifications –Work any issues that may arise out of the evaluation of data on this new network –Any recommendations to FAA are currently TBD

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration FOICA current participation Current participation –21 operators/234 aircraft 142 FOICA only, 92 FOICA w/SBB –ANSPs actively monitoring – FAA, Airways NZ, UK NATS, NAVCanada, others –CSP – ARINC and SITA –Airframe – Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, Bombardier –Avionics suppliers – Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Thales

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Benefits of FOICA New network –Continuation of Classic Aero over I-4 (Aero H+ only) –Now have 2 Classic Aero networks –Redundant interconnections between SAS & CSP –Compliant to existing Classic Aero over I-3 standards –I-4 Interconnects expected to be re-used for SBB Safety (2012/2013) Prominent venue for I-4 Classic Aero performance against GOLD RCP240 and RSP180 specifications

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Next generation data link (domestic) SC­214/WG­78, ICAO OPLINKP and 12 th AN Conf –Global applicability/commitment to ATN B2 (next generation data link) RTCA NextGen Advisory Committee (NAC) –February Data Comm Task Group Final Report PARC CWG potential work leading to FAA recommendations –Operating concepts and applications, e.g., DCL, en route CPDLC –Technologies, e.g., FANS 1/A(+), ARINC 623, Link (ATN B1), VDL M0/A, VDL M2, –Expand the performance based concept to domestic data link to Provide data link service to mixed-capable fleet How many flavors of data link can we tolerate?

PARC CWG 8-10 February Federal Aviation Administration Summary Completed – continue on follow-up work –Performance-based communications and surveillance –FANS 1/A over Iridium (FOI) –FANS 1/A over HFDL (FOH) Planned for 2012 –SATVOICE –FANS 1/A over I4 Classic Aero (FOICA) Potential future project(s) –Next generation data link (to include domestic data link) –Changes in membership
