Today's National Airspace System (NAS) is a mixed-capability environment. Aircraft are equipped with a variety of communication, navigation, and surveillance technologies which, combined with certification and crew training, leads to a wide spectrum of performance for NAS flights. However, current NAS automation and decision support tools do not have full visibility into flight capabilities. In the...
• Flow conflicts can reduce metroplex capacity, especially in less than visual weather conditions • PBN approaches can help alleviate the conflict and improve capacity • Mixed PBN capabilities (in NAS users) can impede full deployment • TFM can create temporary critical mass through exclusive TMI • Implementing such TMIs, however, is not trivial • Proper implementation (duration and timing) is key...
In this paper we focus on the use of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) to alleviate the congestion that exists today in metroplex environments and to achieve higher levels of system capacity. This capacity increase is enabled by the use of Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Precision (RNP) procedures, which provide more predictable flight paths. Use of these procedures, especially in...
Successful implementation of NextGen will require a critical mass of aircraft to be equipped with a range of avionics in the areas of communication, navigation, and surveillance. The equipage process has faced impediments that have slowed equipage rates below targets. It is believed that a package of financial and operational incentives can help accelerate the equipage process by incentivizing and...
