  1. Local Area Augmentation SystemCONCEPT OF OPERATIONS Alaska Regional Briefing Anchorage October 1, 2002

  2. LAAS CONOPSProgram Philosophy • Common Focal Group for Maximum Benefit Approach to Implementation • Multi Discipline Approach to Implementation GPS Program Office • Focal Point for operational issues • FAA Specification • RTCA - MOPS • Manufacturers • Operators

  3. LAAS Concept of Operations Team • Mix of Technical and Operational Membership • Multi discipline Composition • Government (GPS Program Office,Flight Standards, Certification, Air Traffic, Flight Check/Airways Facility) • Industry (Avionics/Ground Element Manufacturers) • User (Airlines, General Aviation), Airports • International Participation • DFS, Eurocontrol, Sextant, Thomson

  4. Stakeholder Activities

  5. CONOPS 5/12/00 • WG Meeting Seattle 26 April 2000 with Industry and Users for Final Draft Discussions • FAA/RTCA/AOPA/ATA/GIP/Industry • LAAS Concept of Operations Accepted by SOIT 12 May 2000 • CONOPS Presentations • ION Anaheim, 26-27 January 2000 • GNSS 2000, Royal Institute of Navigation Edinburgh/Scotland, 1- 4 May 2000 • ATA, 24 May 2000

  6. LAAS Basic Operations

  7. GPS AugmentationPhases of Flight

  8. Normal Operations • Precision Approach • CAT I • CAT II • CAT III • Missed Approach - straight • RNAV/LAAS Operations Desired Mode is Integrated RNAV Operation

  9. LAAS PVT Capabilities • Position, Velocity,Time (PVT) (Accurate, real time airborne equipment output) • RNAV application • Complex terminal arrival to precision final • Complex terminal departures • Missed Approach (complex) • Contingency procedures • 3D/4D Procedures

  10. Low Visibility Ground Operations Safety/Capacity/Economy • A-SMGCS • LAAS Accuracy • Aircraft • Navigation (RWY-Gate &Gate-RWY) • Situational awareness • Runway Incursion • Airport Vehicles

  11. Required Navigation Performance • Concept under Development • US • ICAO • Applicable for all Terminal Navigation • Arrivals • Departures • Instrument Approach Procedures • Contingency

  12. Conclusion • LAAS Desired Operational Capabilities • LAAS CAT I Straight In • LAAS Guided Missed • PVT/RNAV/RNP • Complex Procedures • Terminal Routes • Surface Navigation • CAT II/III • Improved User Benefits • Increase in Safety and Efficiency

  13. CONOPS 5/12/00Architecture Discussion • Complex Procedures • Guidance through PVT/FMS RNAV • LAAS Provides PVT and Protection Levels which Support RNP RNAV Operations • Incorporate Complex Maneuvering into the VDB Broadcast • Uplink of Complex Procedures Kept as an Option (Based on Some User Request)

  14. CONOPS Update • Industry Stakeholders Have Requested RNAV-like Navigation Capability from LAAS • FY-02 Budget Contains Funding and Mandate for Complex Procedures and CAT II/III • Action • Review, Review Requirements and Emphasize Industry Desires • ATA User Group Involvement

  15. Complex Procedures Definition ? • Complex Procedures to Include: • Curved Approach • Offset Approaches • Multi-Segment Arrivals • Multi-Segment Missed Approaches • Multi-Segment Departure Procedures Any Operations Other Than a Single Straight in (“ILS LOOK Alike”)

  16. Other LAAS Applications • Not Complex Procedures but Enabling Capabilities of LAAS • Surface Navigation • Adjacent Airport Coverage • Displaced Threshold

  17. Document Changes • RNP-RNAV Added to Operations and Procedure Design • System Description Updated to Present Spec • Surface Navigation with Latest RTCA inputs • Coverage Updated (ACB 430) • Minimum CAT I Coverage / Expanded CAT I Coverage • Minimum Missed Approach / Minimum Practice Autoland Coverage • CAT I with RNAV Coverage • Complex Procedure updated • Architectures (RNP and Uplink)

  18. LAAS Coverage Volume • Potential Operational Applications of LAAS Are Efficiently Addressed by Defining Modular Coverage Volumes That Can Be Combined to Meet All Site-specific Requirements. • The Five Volumes Defined Below Provide the Minimum Coverage Volume to Support the Indicated Function While Considering VDB Siting Requirements. • Minimum Cat I Coverage Volume • Minimum Missed Approach Coverage Volume • Minimum Practice Autoland Coverage Volume • CAT I With RNAV Coverage Volume

  19. Requirements/Activities for LAAS Complex Procedures Different Solutions to Achieve Complex Procedures • RNP (FMS-LAAS Final) • LAAS Uplink • Architectures are Part of CONOPS • No Detailed Activities (Ongoing)

  20. Requirements/Activities for LAAS Uplink of Complex Procedures (RTCA ) • Define Broadcast Format for Complex Procedures (Approach, Guided Missed Approach, Guided Departure) • Final Approach Segment Data Block • Multiple Segments—Curved Segments (RF Leg) • Linear and Angular Segments • Capacity Analysis Required • VDB Bandwith Capabilities to Broadcast Complex Procedures • Establish Alert Limits • Time to Alert Equates to Previous MLS Data • Evaluate Geographic Separation/Frequency Assignment Criteria to Support Expanded LAAS DMAX of 60NM

  21. Requirements/Activities for LAAS Complex Procedures(AFS 420) • Insure That LAAS Complex Terminal RNP-RNAV Is Compatible With Other RNAV Systems • Format and Content of Data Broadcast • Minimum Segment Lengths and Turn Radii • Lateral and Vertical Display Sensitivities to Be Established for Small Linear RNP Values • Establish Standards for Parallel Tracks for Both Arrivals and Approaches • Develop Standards for Offset Approaches to Lowest Minimums

  22. Avionics Implementation Options • LAAS +LAAS Navigator • Deviations for Complex Procedures within LAAS Service Volume • LAAS + RNP FMS • LAAS Deviation to Final Approach Segment (FMS-LAAS Final) • LAAS + TSO-C146a • LAAS RNAV Capability through WAAS
