1. Presented to: By: Date: Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration Demonstration and Prototyping Information Exchange Briefing November 3, 2010 Jim Baney, CNA

2. 2 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 2 Project Background Goal –Manage the collection, storage, and dissemination of constraints on National Airspace System operations contained in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Letters of Agreement (LOAs) Potential Operational Benefits –Wide distribution of information to users who are unaware of it –Digitization of information and interpretation of it by automated decision support tools

3. 3 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 3 Current Situation LOAs/SOPs published internally through the Facility Directives Repository –loa.faa.gov –Scanned PDFs –Facility manager responsible for maintenance

4. 4 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 4 Future Concept Vision: Digital SOP/LOA –Digitally captures, maintains, stores, and distributes key operational constraint data to systems and decision support tools –Supports NextGen operational capabilities

5. 5 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 Approach Develop requirements, demonstrate costs and benefits for AIM Modernization Segment 2 acquisition –Categorize LOA and SOP information –Standardize data model for each category –Develop prototype application Digital data capture Data distribution using standard protocols and data formats –AIXM 5.1, WFS, SWIM –Start with Standard taxi routes information Runway configuration information

6. 6 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 6 Data Capture Application User builds taxi routes based upon airport data obtained from AIM Airport Data Management service

7. 7 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 7 Data Distribution Provide taxi route data and base airport data via web service –Using standard protocols and data formats AIXM 5.1 WFS SWIM Demonstrate using commercial viewer client to access data Also developed calls to WFS within prototype application

8. 8 Federal Aviation Administration Standard Operating Procedures/Letters of Agreement Overview and Demonstration 11/3/2010 8 Future Plans Continue to develop data models and prototype functionality for SOP/LOA information –Make use of data categorization work as basis for developing common data capture for different sets of information –Further connect with field users to understand operational needs –Collaborate with other AIM programs for capture systems development SAA: Airspace-related SOPs/LOAs FNS: Airport-related SOPs/LOAs –Collaborate with JPAMS for document management system development –Provide inputs to technical and business case for AIM Modernization Segment 2
