ADS-B Implementation Update 2011 CNS/ATM Conference Prepared by Jeff Cochrane Manager, CNS Service Design June 2011
Briefing Overview Canadian ADS-B Implementation Review of Requirements for ADS-B surveillance services Updates to current status of Canadian ADS-B operations Future Canadian ADS-B operations
ADS-B implementations based on business case Measured in benefits to customers through fuel savings as well as avoided GHG emissions Hudson Bay ADS-B estimated savings to 2016 $158 million in fuel 436,000 metric tonnes of CO2e Source: NAV CANADA 2010 Annual Report
NAV CANADA ADS-B Requirements Current applications are in non-radar airspace (NRA) NAV CANADA operates ADS-B through an exemption to existing Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Minimum requirements to receive service are Aircraft Avionics TSO C-129a GNSS receiver Mode S transponder with extended squitter capability meeting DO 260/260A/260B Operational approval Proof from state of aircraft registry meeting Transport Canada requirements (EASA AMC 20-24) Airspace infrastructure NUCp > 5
GPS Performance in Hudson Bay NUCp 5 = 0.5 NM = 914.4m Hudson Bay is well within the area with PDOP < 3 SPS 95% horizontal error is 13m Product of worst case PDOP of 3 and 95% horizontal error is 39m
WAAS Performance (0.3 nm) NPA availability performance over 288 5- minute epochs (24 hours) NPA service availability as shown by the color bar SBAS receivers use either SBAS or FDE to provide en route through NPA service Assumes a 24 satellite GPS constellation without failures and two WAAS GEOs with ranging function
NAV CANADA En Route ADS-B Requirements Transport Canada Advisory Circular 700-009 Issue 2 http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/managementservices-referencecentre-acs-700-700-009-130.htm Ops Spec 609/610 http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/commerce-certification-ops-menu-272.htm 8900.76 - Operation for CFR 14, Part139 ADS-B Out Operations in the Hudson Bay Area, Canada: 14 CFR Parts 91, 91 Subpart K, 121, 125, 125M, and 135 Operations https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentid/74474 NAV CANADA Each aircraft required to be registered on eligibility list Completion of Functional Compliance Form On ADS-B ftp site Copy of Ops Spec or other proof of technical and operational authority from state of aircraft registry Contact person is Mr. Jacques Lemire lemirej@navcanada.ca
Current status of Canadian ADS-B operations January 15 th, 2009 Tactical application of ADS-B in Minto sector controlled by Montreal Area Control Centre January 26 th, 2009 Tactical application of ADS-B in Hudson sector controlled by Edmonton Area Control Centre May 2009 Priority handling applied to ADS-B aircraft to improve overall capacity of airspace September 2009 - AIC 21/09 Future ATFM within the Hudson and Minto Sectors from FL350 to FL400
Hudson Bay Airspace Demands
Current traffic in Hudson Bay 30 airlines with ADS-B eligible aircraft operating in Hudson Bay airspace Over 800 eligible aircraft on NAV CANADA s list Regulatory structure, guidance material, and avionics are available to meet our requirements Traffic density of ADS-B aircraft varies from 50 to 60 percent Time to make an incremental advance to realize the opportunities for increased customer benefits from ADS-B usage in this airspace
Air Traffic Flow Management amendments To accommodate greater capacity and flexibility within the airspace, as of October 20 th, 2011: Aircraft that are not eligible for ADS-B separation services and are flight planned to fly between FL350 up to and including FL400 within Hudson Bay s ADS-B coverage volume shall flight plan and file on fixed route structures There are no changes to the flight planning procedures for aircraft planning to operate at FL340 and below or FL410 and above ADS-B eligible aircraft will be permitted to continue to file and fly random routings
Hudson Bay Air Traffic Flow Management Expected outcomes as a result of these changes are : Increased flexibility for traffic management within the ADS-B surveillance service volume to accommodate ADS-B eligible customers requested tracks, altitudes and speeds Increased flexibility to accommodate ADS-B eligible aircraft's reroute requests A system which supports our customers incremental investments in avionics by leveraging additional benefits in flight savings
East Coast and Arctic ADS-B
East Coast and Arctic ADS-B All sites have been commissioned ADS-B co-located with DND North Warning Radars Radar is the primary surveillance source for ATC on Labrador sites (Gander ACC) Integration of Arctic sites into Edmonton ACC in 2011 will use ADS-B as primary surveillance source
Gander Domestic Exemption granted in January 2011 for use in Gander Domestic airspace Underlying DND North Warning radars Extension of Hudson Bay approval East Coast ADS-B
Edmonton ACC Arctic ADS-B Exemption paperwork in process, expected to be ready later this year Underlying DND North Warning radars Extension of Hudson Bay approval
Oceanic ADS-B
GPS constellation Performance
Oceanic ADS-B Gander Oceanic Modifications to GAATS+ software Operational by early 2012 Air Traffic Management Tactical application of separation between ADS-B pairs $58 M in early climb benefits and 160,000 metric tonnes of CO2e offset to 2016 Following Hudson Bay model, further development of ATM in the airspace as equipage increases
Canadian Surveillance Coverage Early 2012 Oceanic ADS-B Tactical application of ADS-B separation Hudson Bay ADS-B Priority handling for ADS-B within the service coverage Random routing between FL350 FL400 for ADS-B only Existing RADAR
Future Operations Business Case dependent Southeast coast of Canada Oil platforms in the Atlantic Yukon territories bordering Alaskan airspace Balance of the Arctic airspace
Potential future surveillance coverage
