Background Automatic Dependent Surveillance -
Broadcast (ADS-B)

• Automatic
• Periodically transmits information with no pilot
  or operator input required
• Dependent
• Position and velocity vector are derived from the
  Global Positioning System (GPS)
• Surveillance -
• A method of determining position of aircraft,
  vehicles, or other asset
• Broadcast
• Transmitted information available to anyone with
  the appropriate receiving equipment

5
Background Traffic Information Service -
Broadcast / Flight Information Service - Broadcast
TIS-B is a service which provides ADS-B equipped
aircraft with position reports from secondary
surveillance radar on non-ADS-B equipped
aircraft.
FIS-B transmits graphical National Weather
Service products, temporary flight restrictions
(TFRs), and special use airspace.
6
Background Wide Area Multilateration

• Multilateration Employs multiple small remote
  sensors that can be distributed throughout a
  geographic area to compensate for the terrain
  obstructions. The surveillance data is used to
  determine aircraft position and identification.
  This data is then transmitted to air traffic
  control centers for use in providing surveillance
  separation services.
• Currently, Juneau and Colorado Mountain Airports
  will be the first to receive this system.

Multilateration Visual Concept
8
Benefits from Multilateration

• Enhanced Safety Increase safety by being able to
  see aircraft that are currently outside radar
  coverage
• Improve Overall Flow Efficiency Improve arrival
  and departure efficiency
• Economic Benefits Reduce lost revenue due to
  diversions of flights to other than destination
  airports
• Improved surveillance translates into more
  efficient flight tracks, which means less fuel
  burned and increased hourly capacity

9
Background Program Objective

• Develop a multi-segment, life cycle managed,
  performance based ADS-B strategy that aligns with
  the Next Generation Air Transportation System
  (NextGen) vision and generates value for the
  National Airspace System (NAS)
• Integrate Concept of Operations for Portfolio of
  ADS-B Applications
• Develop Application Life Cycle Management
  Approach
• Establish Infrastructure
• Continuously Monitor Value and Adjust Investments

Alaska Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

• The FAA formalized a Memorandum of Agreement
  (MOA) with the Alaskan Aviation Community and
  state representatives on February 9, 2007. The
  agreement established the continuation of safety
  improvements in Alaska as a priority for all
  parties.
• The MOA also established a joint FAA / Industry
  Agreement Implementation Committee (AIC) and
  stipulated that the AIC would prepare an
  implementation plan. The plan outlined details on
  coordination and planning, equipage assistance,
  financing options, ground site evaluations and
  recommendations.
• While the overall program goal is to equip every
  active aircraft in Alaska, this plan has a
  measured goal of achieving aircraft equipage
  equating to at least 90 of total Alaskan flight
  hours (approximately 4000 aircraft).

30
Agreement Implementation Committee (AIC)

• The AIC and Capstone Statewide Working Group, who
  is a group made up of the statewide Aviation
  representatives and FAA representatives,
  completed this plan in July 2007. The final
  document was signed on August 8, 2007 and was
  incorporated into the baseline for the JRC plan
  that was approved on August 27, 2007.
• Four sub groups have been established and meet
  once a week to implement the plan.
• Planning responsible for the contents of the
  plan
• Avionics Equipage Team works with pilots on
  training and maintenance activities
• Ground Infrastructure Team developing a plan
  for implementation of ground infrastructure,
  including ground stations and IFR airport
  upgrades
• Outreach/Education Team developing a plan to
  add additional MOA signatories, secure funding
  options, and conduct outreach and education to
  the public through trade shows, public events,
  and other means of outreach aimed at aircraft
  operators throughout the state

Governor Sarah Palin signs low interest Loan Bill
(SB No. 249) into Law.

• The Bill would establish a new 4.8 million low
  interest loan fund called the Alaska Capstone
  Avionics Revolving Loan Fund.
• Under the Loan the State would provide funding in
  July 2008 for
• Approximately 400 loans the first year
• An additional 60 loans each year for a total of
  four years, which is based on cash flow from loan
  repayments and fund earnings.
• Based on the estimate above, approximately 640
  aircraft could be equipped if operators take
  advantage of the loan program.

Juneau, Alaska Wide Area Multilateration (WAM)

• Background
• On June 29, 2007 the Federal Aviation
  Administration, Surveillance and Broadcast
  Service Program Office assigned a contractual
  task to Sensis Corporation for site surveys of a
  multilateration system in Juneau, Alaska. This
  system will cover the Juneau terminal area, to
  include departure and arrival corridors and all
  associated fixes. The system is designed to
  alleviate congestion and delays due to weather
  and the lack of surveillance into Juneau and
  several surrounding airports.
• Status
• Since task assignment, the Siting Analysis and
  Site Engineering Surveys have been completed.
• The System Design Review was completed 12/07
• Two additional ground stations, added to enhance
  system coverage, will be completed and added into
  the system by 10/09

  (Segment 1)
• Establish Alaska ADS-B services along the flight
  corridor from Anchorage to Fairbanks by October
  2008 and in the vicinity of Nome and Kotzebue by
  May 2009.
• Complete Alaska projects begun in August 2007 to
  upgrade four airports from VFR to IFR by August
  2009.
• Develop transition strategy Legacy GBTs in
  Alaska by 2010 with National ADS-B vendor
  (Ongoing)
• Complete Implementation of Colorado and Juneau
  WAM sites

  Area
• The FAA is committed to successfully deploying
  ADS-B services to the Western Service Area

Meeting objectives through transparent
interaction between the aviation community and
the FAA
