Report generated on 01/15/2021 12:40:50 PM 3 of 156 Initiative: N12.01-08: Augmentations for GPS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) WAAS, a satellite based navigation technology, allows qualifying airports (ref. advisory circular 150/5300-14A. Table 3-4, 3-5 and Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) 8260.58) in the NAS to have vertical and horizontal guidance during all phases of a flight, regardless of weather conditions, without installing expensive legacy navigation hardware at each runway. WAAS uses a network of precisely located ground reference stations across the U.S., Canada & Mexico to monitor GPS satellite signals. This information is then collected and processed before being sent to user receivers via leased navigation transponders on Geostationary Earth Orbiting (GEO) satellites. The WAAS-provided messages improve the accuracy, availability, and safety of GPS- derived position information. WAAS results in safety and capacity improvements in the National Airspace System (NAS) and will reduce FAA operations costs by enabling the removal of some ground-based navigation infrastructure. WAAS is in a mixed life cycle. Phase IV, Dual Frequency will provide improved operational capability during periods of severe solar storm activity along with additional protection against interference to the GPS. The dual frequency upgrade will leverage improvements of the DoD GPS modernization program. During Phase 4B, the WAAS Program Office will continue to support GPS civil technical oversight efforts. The GPS technical oversight ensures changes the DoD makes to the GPS constellation does not impact the FAAs WAAS and GPS based aviation users. Lastly, the program coordinates to ensure Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV)/Localizer Performance (LP) procedures are available at 5,218 runways in the NAS. Activity: Augmentations for GPS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Phase 4B Augmentations for GPS Wide Augmentation System (WAAS) 4B Target: WAAS Phase 4B -Release 6 (TSS) and (O&M) Fielding Complete the deployment of Release 6 to correct O&M, test support software anomalies and enable critical message logging capabilities.

  • Air Traffic Control Modernization: Faa Faces Challenges in Managing Ongoing Projects, Sustaining Existing Facilities, and Introducing New Capabilities
    AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MODERNIZATION: FAA FACES CHALLENGES IN MANAGING ONGOING PROJECTS, SUSTAINING EXISTING FACILITIES, AND INTRODUCING NEW CAPABILITIES Federal Aviation Administration Report Number: AV-2008-049 Date Issued: April 14, 2008 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Air Traffic Control Modernization: Date: April 14, 2008 FAA Faces Challenges in Managing Ongoing Projects, Sustaining Existing Facilities, and Introducing New Capabilities Federal Aviation Administration Report Number AV-2008-049 From: Lou E. Dixon Reply to Attn. of: JA-10 Assistant Inspector General for Aviation and Special Program Audits To: Acting Federal Aviation Administrator This report provides the results of our review of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) major acquisitions. At the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, we updated our May 2005 status report1 on FAA’s major acquisitions and examined how projects are impacted by plans for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Our objectives were to examine (1) overall trends affecting FAA’s Facilities and Equipment (F&E) or capital account, (2) recent changes in cost and schedule baselines of FAA’s major acquisition programs, and (3) the effect of NextGen plans on existing projects. Our review examined 18 projects valued at $17.5 billion2 in capital costs. These projects include developing new automated controller tools, acquiring new technologies to prevent accidents on runways and taxiways, and modernizing FAA facilities that manage large segments of airspace over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. We performed this audit in accordance with generally accepted Government Auditing Standards as prescribed by the Comptroller General of the United States.

  • FAA Has Taken Steps to Address ERAM Outages, but Some Vulnerabilities Remain
    FAA Has Taken Steps To Address ERAM Outages, but Some Vulnerabilities Remain Report No. AV2019004 November 7, 2018 FAA Has Taken Steps To Address ERAM Outages, but Some Vulnerabilities Remain Requested by the Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Chairs of the House Committee on Transportation, and Infrastructure and its Subcommittee on Aviation Federal Aviation Administration | AV2019004 | November 7, 2018 What We Looked At The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) air traffic controllers use the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) system to manage over 3 million high-altitude en-route aircraft a month. Because of ERAM’s importance to air traffic management, system outages can significantly impact operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). Our audit objective was to assess the causes of ERAM’s outages and FAA’s actions to address them. What We Found While FAA has taken steps to address the seven ERAM failures since 2014, some vulnerabilities remain. These seven failures included two serious incidents that significantly disrupted the NAS. During one of these incidents, in August 2015, ERAM failed when a software tool at controller workstations overloaded system memory. The incident caused flight delays and cancellations that impacted thousands of flights over several days. FAA has since taken corrective actions to resolve the causes of these two serious incidents and other issues that caused five less serious outages. However, other issues remain unresolved. For example, FAA has not implemented annual testing of ERAM’s contingency plan, as called for by Federal guidelines. In addition, FAA plans to decommission ERAM’s existing backup system, the Enhanced Backup Surveillance System (EBUS), due to its incompatibility with upgrades to ERAM.

  • Pilot Controller Glossary
    4/3/14 Pilot/Controller Glossary PILOT/CONTROLLER GLOSSARY PURPOSE a. This Glossary was compiled to promote a common understanding of the terms used in the Air Traffic Control system. It includes those terms which are intended for pilot/controller communications. Those terms most frequently used in pilot/controller communications are printed in bold italics. The definitions are primarily defined in an operational sense applicable to both users and operators of the National Airspace System. Use of the Glossary will preclude any misunderstandings concerning the system’s design, function, and purpose. b. Because of the international nature of flying, terms used in the Lexicon, published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), are included when they differ from FAA definitions. These terms are followed by “[ICAO].” For the reader’s convenience, there are also cross references to related terms in other parts of the Glossary and to other documents, such as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). c. This Glossary will be revised, as necessary, to maintain a common understanding of the system. EXPLANATION OF CHANGES d. Terms Added: BOTTON ALTITUDE CLIMB VIA DEFENSE AREA DESCEND VIA FUSED TARGET FUSION GROSS NAVIGATION ERROR ISR INSTRUMENT APPROACH OPERATIONS LIGHT−SPORT AIRCRAFT TAKEOFF ROLL TOP ALTITUDE e.
