Avionics Roadmap, Version 2.0 provides Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) planning organizations with a view of the far- term avionics-related capabilities required for operations envisaged for NextGen. It provides an aircraft perspective to allow the reader to understand the relationship between the various components of the National Airspace System (NAS), such as communication, navigation, surveillance, and related air traffic management systems and aircraft avionics systems. Aviation stakeholders will also benefit from reading this document because it provides a view of the aircraft-related capabilities required for late mid-term operations and the evolving far-term requirements of NextGen implementation. The timeline for development of new avionics systems typically extends out 15-20 years from initial concept development to aircraft equipage. If this work is not started now, any future enhancements to the NAS would be delayed, thus further delaying the potential benefits of NextGen.

This report summarizes work performed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory during the period 1 February 2015 – 30 November 2015 focused on developing and improving algorithms to estimate the impact of convective weather on air traffic flows. The core motivation for the work is the need to improve strategic traffic flow management in the National Airspace System. The algorithms developed as part of this work translate multiple weather forecast products into a discrete airspace impact metric called permeability.

This technical report summarizes the operational observations recorded by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) aviation subject matter experts during the period 13 April to 31 October 2015. Three separate field observations were conducted over four convective weather days across the eastern National Airspace System (NAS) with visits to five separate FAA facilities and five different airline operation centers. Observations of strategic management planning and decision making were documented during these visits. Specifically noted were the utilization of the deterministic convective weather forecasting model, CoSPA, and a newly developed decision support application, Traffic Flow Impact (TFI). These field evaluations were supported via the FAA AJM-334 CoSPA program.

For several years, a number of aviation manufacturers have been designing and testing very light jets, a type of small jet aircraft equipped with advanced technologies and priced below other business jets. Aviation forecasters predict that thousands of very light jets will enter the National Airspace System (NAS) over the next two decades, contributing to the overall growth of the general aviation fleet. While some experts predict that very light jets will be used in ways that are similar to current general aviation aircraft, others predict that they will be used to expand the air taxi market to provide on-demand, point-to-point air transportation. In 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified the first very light jets for flight. This report identifies (1) current very light jet forecasts and what factors could affect very light jet deliveries, (2) how increasing numbers of very light jets might affect the capacity and safety of the NAS, (3) how FAA is planning to accommodate the entry of very light jets into the NAS, and (4) how very light jets might affect FAA's costs and Airport and Airway Trust Fund revenues. To address these issues, GAO reviewed relevant documents and interviewed agency officials and aviation experts. GAO is not making recommendations in this report.

Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 150: NextGen for Airports, Volume I: Understanding the Airport’s Role in Performance-Based Navigation: Resource Guide, the first report in this series, provides comprehensive information to practitioners concerning all aspects of performance-Based Navigation (PBN) and how implementation affects overall airport operations. This Resource Guide encompasses background information, description of effects on short- and long-term airport development, impacts on safety and performance measures, and other critical factors affecting future airport operations. In addition to providing guidance to users on available resources for additional assistance, this volume also includes lessons learned and best practices based on findings from case studies that examined the airport operator’s role in PBN implementation.The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) refers to the federal programs (predominately airspace, air traffic, or avionics related) that are designed to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS). ACRP’s NextGen initiative aims to inform airport operators about some of these programs and how the enabling practices, data, and technologies resulting from them will affect airports and change how they operate.

This is a report of COMOPTEVFOR's first phase of follow-on operational test and evaluation (OT-IIIC), as defined in references (a) and (b), of the Global Positioning System (GPS) as installed in the ES-3A, performed under CNO Project 190-4. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the reliability, maintainability, and availability of the AN/ARN-151 GPS User Equipment, as installed in the ES-3A, in an aircraft carrier environment. The GPS user equipment (UE) is determined to be operationally suitable. Approval for extension of application to platforms which require catapult launches and arrested landings is recommended.

The National Airspace System (NAS) is the busiest and most complex in the world. It is a mixture of equipment, techniques, and skills that has evolved over 50 years. Without question, it is the world's safest and most efficient, yet, at the outset of this Plan, its expansion capability was limited and adaptability to changing requirements was difficult. Aviation activity is forecast to increase substantially over the next two decades. Continuing growth in the number of aircraft operations, number of aircraft, enplanements, diversity of operations, DOD operations and sophistication of aircraft will place unprecedented demands on the NAS. Meeting this challenge requires improved and expanded services, additional facilities and equipment, improved work force productivity, and the orderly replacement of aging equipment. In December, 1981, the Federal Aviation Administration chartered a comprehensive NAS Plan for modernizing and improving air traffic control and airway facilities services through the year 2000. This is the seventh annual update of the NAS Plan. The Plan addresses the compelling problems of how best to improve safety and efficiency, accommodate spiraling demands for aviation services, deal with the problems of aging or obsolete facilities, recognize the users desires for minimal restrictions on the use of the airspace, allow for a reduced Federal role, and create a foundation for continued evolution which exploits newer technologies and developments obtained through continuing research.

This concept of operations is one of many high level documents that will, in total, describe the operations of the National Airspace System (NAS) when the NAS Plan has been implemented, i,e., the 'end state.' These documents as a set will assist in linking the requirements specified in NAS System Requirements Specification with the NAS design. One of the functions of the NAS is to support approach and departure sequencing at specific airports. The objective of this document is to describe the relationship among subsystems, facilities, information, and operators/users involved in the approach and departure sequencing function. This document is intended as a tool for system designers, analysts, and test planners. The document contains several types of block diagrams illustrating system connectivity, and operational flow. These diagrams in conjunction with the text are intended to provide perspective and insight into the NAS 'Approach and Departure Sequencing' function. Keywords: Terminal flight facilities; Air navigation; Air traffic control systems; Approach sequencing; Departure sequencing; Tower; Area Control Facility (ACF). (kt)
