Agenda Carey Miller, Universal Avionics Basic Overview of FANS, DCL, ADS-B, & Link 2000+ Mike Mitera, Chicago Jet Group/Kobev Data Link Issues and Testing Considerations Mitch Launius Air Training International Waypoints, Half Degree and More Jeff Holt Honeywell Using GPS in non-wgs-84 Airspace 2
CNS/ATM Improvements Global Air Traffic Growing 4-5% per Year (IATA) Increase Airspace Capacity = Improved Aircraft Equipage and Ground Infrastructure Communication Domestic VHF voice Data Link Oceanic HF voice Satcom (both voice & data) Navigation Sensor-based (ex. Loc & GS) Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) GNSS, RNP, RNAV Surveillance Radar ADS-B (higher update rate) Air Traffic Management Time-based operations Trajectory and Performancebased
FANS 1/A What is it? Provides Data Link Communication with ATC through Satcom (Inmarsat or Iridium) or VHF AFN Logon: Air Traffic Service Facilities Notification Logon Provides the air traffic service unit with aircraft information (ADS-C, CPDLC, Tail Number, ACARS Address, correlation with flight plan, etc.) ADS-C: Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract Provides digital automatic position reports to ATC CPDLC: Controller Pilot Data Link Provides digital communication for requests and intervention Network Satcom or VHF ATC 4
FANS 1/A North Atlantic Mandate Approximately 1400 North Atlantic Track Crossings per Day and increasing (only 6% Corporate) Approximately 88% of all North Atlantic Track Crossings are FANS 1/A Equipped and increasing Current Separation 10 minutes in trail, 60 nm (1 degree) lateral and 1000ft vertical Approaching Airspace Saturation 5
FANS 1/A North Atlantic Mandate Primary Goal: Improved Safety Secondary Goal: Reduced Separation Reduced Longitudinal Separation Minimum (RLongSM) Proposed separation 5 minutes in-trail Provides aircraft the ability step climb for greater fuel efficiency Reduced Lateral Separation Minimum (RLatSM) Proposed separation 1/2 degree (30nm) lateral Both require approval for FANS (ADS-C & CPDLC) & RNP 4 (using GNSS) 6
FANS 1/A Today s FANS Mandate Date Mandate Details February 2015 Phase 2A Expanded FANS 1/A Airspace ALL NAT Organized Track System (OTS) FL350-FL390 (inclusive and no exemptions) Nov. 12, 2015 RLatSM in NATS (trials) Phase 1 Three center (most desirable) tracks will have a ½ degree track between them. RNP 4 required Feb 4, 2016 MNPS Airspace Naming Will be called NAT High Level Airspace Nov., 2016 RLatSM in NATS Phase 2 All OTS FL350-FL390 will have a ½ degree track between them. RNP 4 required (except NY FIR) 7
FANS 1/A Tomorrow s FANS Mandate Date Mandate Details Dec., 2017* Phase 2B Expanded FANS 1/A FANS1/A required in all ICAO NAT region FL350- Airspace FL390 (inclusive) Jan. 30, 2020* Phase 2C Expanded FANS 1/A Airspace FANS 1/A required in all ICAO NAT region FL290 and above. MNPS standards no longer apply. Need RNP 2, 4, or 10 approval. RNP 4 required for RLAT *Will not apply if surveillance is available by radar or ADS-B (essentially, the Blue Spruce Routes ) *Will not apply if above 80 degrees North *Excludes NY FIR until FAA Regulations are updated 8
FANS 1/A Operational Benefits Significantly Improved Communications Large quantity of HF traffic is no longer an issue Poor quality of HF is no longer an issue Language barrier is no longer an issue due to message set Deviation from Flight Plan Clearance can be Detected Sooner Lower stress on crew, resulting in Increased Safety! FANS CPDLC can now be used with the U.S Data Comm Data Link Clearance DCL program. 9
CPDLC DCL BENEFITS Provides a significant time savings vs voice operations Clearance can be changed until departure At busy airports, operators with DCL capability will be able to start engines and taxi much quicker than with voice Equipment and STC s exist today Will be expanded to enroute operations High traffic airports are being added every week Letter of Authorization is not required 10

FANS 1/A How Do I Get It? Install FANS 1/A equipment under STC or OEM Service Bulletin (AC 20-140b) WAAS FMS Update (required by most solutions) Communications Management Unit (Unilink) Annunciator cube or integrated into displays Aural Alert Data Capable CVR Required (AC 20-160) Level D Satcom system Letter of Authorization from the FAA 13
What is ADS-B Out? Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast Cornerstone of the U.S. NextGen initiative Provides more information, with less delay to ATC than traditional radar Eliminates costly radar sites Allows for reduced separation Mandated in the U.S. by January 1 st, 2020 European mandate is June 7 th, 2020 Already required in Australia and other countries Essentially, required if flying above 10,000 ft and/or around airports with a control tower Will This Mandate Slip?
Federal Aviation Administration June 25, 2014 Statement of Michael G. Whitaker, FAA Deputy Administrator before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Subcommittee on Aviation on NextGen: A Review of Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities for Improving Aviation Safety and Efficiency: Let me be very clear. The 2020 deadline is not going to change. We are in a position to achieve this important milestone on time. The cost of equipment has come down considerably. There is sufficient maintenance capacity to allow all equipage to occur in fact, waiting to equip might cost more if aircraft owners crowd repair stations to get the work done on the eve of the deadline.
ADS-B Out Are you considering complying with this mandate closer to January 1 st, 2020? There are only ~ 990 working days until the mandate (as of 3-15-2016) Avionics manufacturers are offering incentives to equip today Avionics installation facilities have capacity today Engineering firms and Certification Agencies have capacity today Still Considering Waiting?
ADS-B Out - Compared to RVSM RVSM mandate in 2005 affected only ~ 6,500 corporate aircraft (excluded most turboprops) Corporate fleet RVSM installation effort took approximately 36 months (24 months before and 12 months after) or around 180 per month Capable avionics shops were full Some operators flew below 29,000 feet until they were able to equip ADS-B, comparable installation complexity and downtime Corporate aircraft consist of ~ 18,500 (jets and turboprops-amstat May 2015) that will have to equip At the same rate, installations should have started in: April 2011 At a rate of 360 aircraft per month, installations should have started in: October 2015
ADS-B Differences from RVSM The FAA is prepared as compared to RVSM Operators will essentially be grounded until they comply
LINK 2000+ Summary of Requirements Applies to all IFR aircraft flying in European airspace above FL285 Applicable to new and retrofit aircraft in Feb 2020 Required aircraft capabilities: CMU with VDL Mode 2 Radio Link 2000+ Message Set (ATN-B1) WAAS FMS (UASC Aircraft) Meets ADS-B accuracy requirement by 2020 WAAS/LPV will be the next big push in EU ANSPs must implement ground systems before February 5 th, 2018 in the Link Region 19
When do you plan on equipping your fleet to comply with the ADS-B Out Mandate? (no wrong answer) 1. 2016 2. 2017 3. 2018 4. 2019 5. Never Sending aircraft to the bone yard 6. I don t know 20
