- Allow Operational Efficiencies to be gained
- Improve Safety reduce runway incursions
- Meet Capacity Demands for 2015
- Implement first Product Release into the market
by 2008 - SafeRoute will Improve Operational Efficiencies
by - Reducing Fuel Consumption
- Reducing Arrival Time
- Improving Airport Capacity
- Reducing Noise
- Reducing CO2 Emissions
- SafeRoute will Improve Safety by
- Providing Surface Situational Awareness
- Reducing the Threat of Runway Incursions
- SafeRoute will be Cost Effective
- Easy to Implement on the Aircraft
- Use existing aircraft equipment as much as
possible
4SafeRoute Overview
- SafeRoute is a portfolio of ADS-B In Software
Solutions that Utilize ADS-B Out and TIS-B
Technology for In-Cockpit Operational Functions - These In-Cockpit Functions Improve Operational
Efficiencies and Safety - Efficiency Improvements
- MS (Merging Spacing) Certified July 2007
- Eliminates Need for Radar Vectors in Terminal
Area by Providing Flight Deck Spacing Command for
Efficient Aircraft Intervals - CDAs (Continuous Descent Arrivals) Certified July
2007 - Eliminate the Need for Stair Step Descents
Reduce Pilot Throttle Commands - CAVS (CDTI Assisted Visual Separation) Certified
July 2007 - Extends Visual Separation Operations In Reduced
Visibility - ITP (In-Trail Procedures) To Be Certified July
2009 - Improves Climb Requests When Operating In Oceanic
Track Systems For Optimum Flight Profile as
Aircraft Become Lighter - Safety Improvements
- SAMM I (Surface Area Movement Management)
Certified July 2007 - Addresses Runway Incursions by Providing Enhanced
Surface Situational Awareness of Own Ship
Relative to Other ADS-B equipped On-Ground
Aircraft Vehicles
UPS received Operational Approval for SafeRoute
from the FAA on December 28th, 2007
