11. NEWARK LIBERTY AIRPORT
LOCAL AREA AUGMENTATION SYSTEM OPERATIONAL DEMONSTRATION

12. Purpose
Demonstrate Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) operational capabilities in a complex airspace
Combine on-board RNAV/RNP functionality (e.g. multimode receiver) with LAAS improved straight-in and curved path capabilities for approach & landing to all runway ends
Tool to solve airspace congestion issues
Build user base - controller & pilot operational experience
Reduce airspace separation between current New York Area Airports for more independent operations, including closely spaced parallel runways
“Lessons Learned” may be applied in the New York and Eastern Seaboard area, potentially to other locations
