Federal Aviation Administration National Airspace System Capital Federal Aviation Administration National Airspace System Capital Investment Plan Appendix B Fiscal Years 2016 – 2020 (Page intentionally left blank) Capital Investment Plan Appendix B Fiscal Years 2016-2020 APPENDIX B DETAILED PROGRAM PLAN DATA Appendix B provides detailed information about planned capital investments in the 5 year window of the plan. Each year, these details are updated to reflect any program changes. ACTIVITIES AND BUDGET LINES The structure of Appendix B follows the structure presented in the FY 2016 President’s Budget Request. Budget Activities group together budget line items (BLI) with similar objectives. There are 6 budget activities in the FAA Facilities & Equipment (F&E) account for capital spending including engineering development, air traffic investments, other FAA investments, support contracts, personnel costs, and subscription and other services. Activity 5, personnel costs, is not discussed. The BLI shown within each budget activity provide a detailed description for each program. In some BLIs, related programs are shown and described together within a single write-up. This occurs when individual programs have the same overall objective (e.g. data communications) but each addresses a different aspect of the solution. Note that programs with planned funding beginning after FY 2016, while not included in the President’s Budget, are included in the CIP and are designated with an “X” in the BLI number or before the CIP title. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The program scope and purpose is provided in this section. Some programs may have distinctly different activities included within the overall program write-up. In this case, each program activity will be separately described and have its own Performance Output Goals. ALIGNMENT OF PROGRAM TO FAA STRATEGIC PRIORITY AND PERFORMANCE METRIC Each program in the CIP is aligned with a single Strategic Priority and Performance Metric. The Strategic Priorities are part of the new framework for strategic planning and the metrics are based on the approved Agency Organization Success Indicators (OSI). The FAA specific metrics in the DOT strategic plan are included in the OSI metrics. To align all programs to an appropriate metric, some business planning metrics have also been included. Some programs, as a bi-product, may contribute to other metrics, but to maintain focus on the single performance metric these secondary contributions are not described. RELATIONSHIP TO PERFORMANCE METRIC This section describes how the new system, service or capability provided by this program contributes to the selected Performance Metric. If available, quantifiable information has been provided. This section may also highlight how NAS safety or operations will change as a result of the new system, service or capability. PERFORMANCE OUTPUT GOALS Output goals are the specific accomplishments, deliverables or work products that will be delivered for each year within the 5 year window of the plan. “None” indicates that no funding is planned for that year. Programs baselined for cost, schedule and performance have specific approved Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) milestones that are tracked for accomplishment and included as output goals. The FAA F&E appropriation can be obligated for up to 2 years after the year appropriated (funds available for 3 years). Program milestones and deliverables shown as output goals beyond the last year of planned funding are marked as “prior year funding”. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE A schedule is provided for programs deploying systems or upgrades into the NAS. When available, other information will also be provided to indicate how long the system will be in operation or when a system will be decommissioned. The schedule legend is as follows: i Capital Investment Plan Appendix B Fiscal Years 2016-2020 Upgrades Development Implementation Operational Decommissioning Continued ii Capital Investment Plan Appendix B Fiscal Years 2016-2020 Table of Contents ACTIVITY 1: ENGINEERING, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION ............... 1 1A01, Advanced Technology Development and Prototyping (ATDP) ........................................ 1 A, Runway Incursion Reduction Program (RIRP) – ATDP, S09.02-00 ............................................................1 B, System Capacity, Planning and Improvements – ATDP, M08.28-00 ...........................................................3 C, Operations Concept Validation and Infrastructure Evolution – ATDP, M08.29-00......................................5 D, Major Airspace Redesign – ATDP, M08.28-04 ............................................................................................6 E, Strategy and Evaluation – ATDP, M46.01-01 ...............................................................................................7 F, Dynamic Capital Planning, M47.01-01 .........................................................................................................9 G, Unified Contracting System (UCS), M08.46-01 ......................................................................................... 10 H, Operational Analysis and Reporting System (OARS), M08.32-03 ............................................................. 11 I, Operations Network (OPSNET) Replacement – ATDP, A37.01-01 ............................................................ 13 X, Operational Modeling Analysis and Data, M52.01-01 ................................................................................ 15 1A02/1A03, NAS Improvement of System Support Laboratory ............................................... 16 System Support Laboratory Sustained Support, F14.00-00 ............................................................................. 16 1A04, William J.

  • 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.
