Runway Safety Spring 2021 Report
Graphical NOTAM Interface For Improving Efficiency of Reporting NOTAM Information April 2021 Design Challenge: Runway Safety/Runway Incursions/Runway Excursions Challenge E: Optimizing application of NextGen technology to improve runway safety in particular and airport safety in general. Team Members: Undergraduate Students: Matthew Bacon, Gregory Porcaro, Andrew Vega Advisor’s Name: Dr. Audra Morse Michigan Technological University Table of Contents | 1 02 Executive Summary Runway excursions are a type of aviation incident where an aircraft makes an unsafe exit from the runway. According to the Ascend World Aircraft Accident Summary (WAAS), 141 runway excursion accidents involving the Western-built commercial aircraft fleet occurred globally from 1998 to 2007, resulting in 550 fatalities; 74% of landing phase excursions were caused by either weather-related factors or decision-making factors (Ascend, 2007). One mitigation strategy is training pilots how to interpret Runway Condition Codes (RWYCCs) to understand runway conditions. Recent developments such as NextGen and Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have improved the quality of weather condition reporting. However, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), the primary source of runway condition information and any other irregularities in airspace, are still presented to pilots in an inefficient format contributing to runway excursions and safety concerns NOTAMs consist of confusing abbreviations and do not effectively convey the relative importance of information. The team developed an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) user interface that provides a graphical representation of NOTAM and weather information to improve how pilots receive condition changes at airports. The graphical NOTAM interface utilizes Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) to receive real time NOTAM updates. -

Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the Light of Public International Law
Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the light of Public International Law Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the light of Public International Law ZOLTÁN PAPP Phd Student, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, In-house legal counsel, HungaroControl Pte Ltd. Co.* The Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) is established to serve the national security interests of the state. Maintaining ADIZ becomes fundamentally relevant from the perspective of international law when such a zone extends into airspace suprajacent to international waters. Materially, two considerations are most relevant in terms of ADIZ conforming to international law, both potentially creating a conflict with ADIZ rules: Contracting Parties to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation have delegated rule-making powers to enact rules of the air with a view to safeguarding the safety of air traffic in international airspace to the ICAO Council. Furthermore, in international airspace the state of registry generally enjoys exclusive jurisdiction with respect to the aircraft carrying its national mark. In this paper ADIZ will be deemed as exercising jurisdiction over extraterritorial acts by the state maintaining ADIZ; hence, the prescriptive and enforcement distinction adds an additional layer to the analysis of the international legal context of ADIZ. The response to as to how ADIZ fits in the international legal framework may differ depending on whether one seeks to identify permissive rules of international law related to the maintenance of ADIZ in international airspace or the non-existence of prohibitive rules sufficient to justify conformance with international law. Keywords: ADIZ, air law, law of the sea, Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, jurisdiction, use of force, international customary law, civil aircraft, state of registry 1. -

Capstone Program Plan (Draft)
DRAFT Federal Aviation Administration Alaskan Region Capstone Program Management Office 801 B Street, Suite 500 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Capstone Program Plan DRAFT Version 3.0 12 June 2001 ALASKAN REGION Investment in Safety DRAFT PREAMBLE This document is designed as an umbrella program plan for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alaskan Region Capstone Program. The term umbrella, as it is used here, means the contents are intended to create high level objectives from which detailed work plans can be developed and accomplished. Each organization that accepts tasking under a particular objective or element takes with it the responsibility for developing a work plan, generating procedures for participants to use their element, and for recording and reporting the progress made toward validation. To accommodate future developments facilitated by the Capstone Program efforts, the number and the date of each successive program plan version is printed on the cover. This Capstone Program Plan version 3.0 is complimentary to Versions 1.0 and 2.0. These previous versions established the initial Capstone avionics and ground infrastructure. Version 3.0 documents the activities supporting the infrastructure in the Bethel/Yukon-Kuskokwim delta area, planning for expansion to Juneau/Southeast Alaska, and establishing ties to future implementation work, with the main focus on FY 2001. DRAFT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Capstone Program accelerates efforts to improve aviation safety and efficiency through a multi-year introduction of current and emerging concepts and technologies. According to information published by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, accident rates in Alaska are elevated up to 400 percent above the national average. -

Notams Back to Basics: Airports
NOTAMs Back to Basics: Airports Federal Aviation Administration NOTAMs Affect All Users of the NAS ICAO Flight U.S. Service NOTAM Flight Stations Office Inspection Flight Dispatch Air Instrument Wild Fire Pilot Traffic Approach Fighting Control Procedure Office Service DOD Centers Technical ATO Operations Security Technician Airport General Operator Public Information valid through Federal Aviation 2 December 2018 Administration A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations but not NOTAM known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means. NOTAMs concern the establishment, condition, or change of any component (facility, service, procedure, or hazard) in the NAS. They must state the abnormal status of a component of the NAS — not the normal status. In 1947, it was agreed to begin issuing NOTAMs via telecommunications. NOTAMs were modeled after Notice to Mariners, which advised ship captains of hazards in navigating the high seas. Information valid through Federal Aviation 3 December 2020 Administration NOTAM Contractions NOTAMs have a unique language characterized by the use of specialized contractions. Contractions are imperative to the NOTAM structure because they make communication more efficient and allow computer systems to parse important words. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the leading authority for standardizing contractions in the international aeronautical community. If there is no ICAO contraction, plain language is used.
