# Summary of Discussions

Twenty-Second Meeting of the

Informal Pacific Air Traffic Control Coordination Group

(IPACG/22)

24-28 January; Los Angeles, California, USA

1.  **Background**

1.1 The Twenty-Second Meeting of the Informal Pacific Air Traffic
Control (ATC) Coordinating Group (IPACG/22) was held at the Portofino
Hotel, Los Angeles, CA, USA, from 24-28 January 2005. The IPACG was
established to provide a forum for air traffic service (ATS) providers
and airspace users to informally meet and explore solutions to near term
ATC problems that limit the capacity or efficiency within the Anchorage,
Oakland, and Tokyo Flight Information Regions (FIRs).

2.  **Welcome and Opening Remarks**

2.1 The meeting was co-chaired by Ms. Leslie McCormick for the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and Mr. Akira Ono for the Japan Civil
Aviation Bureau (JCAB). The meeting attendees are shown in Appendix A.

2.  Ms. Leslie McCormick welcomed the IPACG participants and introduced
    Mr. Ono.

Ms. McCormick acknowledged the progress of the action items, including
reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) implementation,
implementation of ATS Interfacility Data Communications (AIDC),
reduction of position reporting deficiencies, FIR boundary fixes, and an
update on the North Pacific Airspace Cost Effectiveness (NPACE) Study.
New issues include common air traffic flow management terminology,
implementation of 30NM lateral/30NM longitudinal (30/30) separation, and
the use of in-trail climb/in-trail descent (ITC/ITD) procedure using new
technologies. Ms. McCormick noted that this meeting has transitioned
from paper to electronic copies of information as a cost savings
measure. The Chairpersons invited participants' comments on this change.
She further encouraged everyone's active participation for a successful
meeting.

2.3 Mr. Ono thanked Ms. McCormick and the FAA for organizing the meeting
arrangements. He noted they are relaunching the Multi-Functional
Transport Satellite (MTSAT) in February. Mr. Ono noted that with the
upcoming Olympic Games in 2008 and the World Expo in 2010, there will be
increased flights but ATS Providers will continue to ensure efficient
oceanic operations. Mr. Ono hoped for a very productive meeting.

2.4 Ms. McCormick recognized the Air Traffic Management (ATM) Working
Group (WG) co-chairs, Ms. Ann Moore of the FAA, and Mr. Shigeru Kunitake
of JCAB, and thanked Mr. Reed Sladen and Mr. Hideo Watanabe for their
leadership of the FANS Interoperability Team (FIT) meeting.

**5.0 Agenda Items 2 & 3: ATM and CNS Issues**

1.  Co-chairs of the ATM WG led the discussions on ATM and CNS issues.

####### ITC/ITD Procedure Using ACAS/TCAS & Potential ADS-B In-Trail Procedure

5.2 The FAA presented information outlining the background and
experience with oceanic ITC/ITD test procedures using the Airborne
Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) or Traffic Alert and Collision
Avoidance System (TCAS) and introduced a proposal for an oceanic
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) in trail procedure.
Some airspace operators desired continuation of the test/trial of the
current ITC/ITD procedure. FAA had planned to continue the test through
2005. Comments were invited on the potential for testing an in-trail
procedure, using new technologies, as a replacement for the current
ITC/ITD procedure.

5.3 FAA noted that further information would be provided at IPACG/23.

5.4 The representative from the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) stated that equipage issues need to be considered when testing a
replacement ITC/ITD procedure.

*Position Reporting Deficiencies*

5.5 Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and Tokyo Area
Control Center (ACC) presented updates to the position report
deficiencies and corrective actions that have been taken. Reports of
technical problems should be forwarded to the FIT. Operators were
encouraged once again to remind flight crews of the importance of
on-time position reporting.

*Common Air Traffic Flow Management Terminology*

5.6 FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) personnel
proposed the development of common air traffic flow management (ATFM)
terminology between FAA ATCSCC and the Air Traffic Flow Management
Center (ATFMC) Japan. ATFMC Japan noted that some terminology exists in
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) documents and could be
used as a reference. It was agreed that the scope of this work would
initially be limited to FAA and JCAB. Once satisfactory progress is
made, the issues will be expanded to ICAO and other countries. The task
force will begin developing terms of reference and identify the
terminology that needs to be examined. Work will continue at IPACG/23.

5.7 John Rupp from FAA and Yoshinori Suzuki from JCAB will lead the work
on this issue.

####### ETMS Data Exchange

5.8 FAA ATCSCC provided information on the status of ATFM data exchange
process between the ATCSCC and ATFMC. Discussions were held between
ATCSCC and ATFMC representatives to address detailed technical questions
about the data exchange.

## *Hotline Status*

5.9 A review was held regarding the steps taken to establish initial
communication via a telephone

"hotline" between ATCSCC and ATFMC. The FAA and JCAB have established a
primary and secondary hotline dedicated to resolving ATFM issues. The
initial hotline test was conducted in late 2002 executing 4 scenarios;
with FAA and JCAB testing primary and secondary hotline numbers. All
tests were successful with minor adjustments. FAA and JCAB signed a
letter of agreement establishing procedures for contingency hotline
communications**.**

# 

5.10 FAA expressed their wish to change the frequency of the FAA/JCAB
hotline test from quarterly to monthly in order to promote the
proficiency of the FAA/JCAB hotline procedure among responsible staff.
JCAB agreed that the FAA would draft a revised letter of agreement
stating the reason for the change. The FAA and JCAB will determine the
effective date for the change of testing procedures.

5.11 FAA also proposed to supplement the existing FAA/JCAB hotline
communication capability with Voice over Internet capability. The
purpose of introducing Voice over Internet would be to enhance
communication capability significantly with minimal added cost. The FAA
has invested in the software that establishes up to 50 secure
connections for participating users. JCAB will study this proposal.

# *Establishment of the Air Traffic Management Center (ATMC)*

5.12 JCAB presented information about the timeline on the merger of JCAB
oceanic ATC functions to the planned ATMC in Fukuoka, the expansion of
datalink serviced airspace and the change of addressing of flight plan
message to the Japanese FIRs. Sidebar meetings among FAA Headquarters,
Anchorage ARTCC, Oakland ARTCC, JCAB Headquarters, and Tokyo ACC were
held to discuss the issues relating to the merger and the expansion of
datalink serviced airspace. Anchorage ARTCC and Oakland ARTCC agreed
that they would review JCAB's plan. Some problems were raised on the
proposed 2-week outage of ATC voice communication lines among related
ATC facilities. JCAB will consider if there is an alternative way to
deal with this outage.

## 

## *Advanced Technologies and Oceanic Procedures (ATOP) Status*

5.13 FAA presented information on the implementation of ATOP Build 2 in
the New York and Oakland Oceanic Centers in mid 2005 and the Anchorage
Center in early 2006.

*Contingency Procedures for Complete Loss of ATC Capabilities*

5.14 The FAA responded to JCAB's updated version of draft contingency
procedures for the complete loss of ATC by Oakland and/or Anchorage
ARTCCs.

5.15 Internal FAA plans have been established to provide for other
facilities or teams to take control of airspace, or for modified
procedures to be put into place to handle contingencies; therefore the
FAA believes there is no need for JCAB facilities to assume FAA ATC
responsibilities. In light of the development of datalink procedures,
JCAB feels that it may be premature to pursue this matter at this time.

*North Atlantic Turnback Procedures for Possible Implementation in
Pacific Oceanic Airspace*

5.16 The FAA provided the latest status of North Atlantic (NAT) oceanic
airspace turnback procedures. The meeting considered the benefits and
drawbacks of adopting those procedures for application in Pacific
oceanic airspace. It was suggested that discussions may be continued at
IPACG/23 once more information is available from the ICAO Separation and
Airspace Safety Panel, the NAT Implementation Management Group and/or
other groups addressing this issue.

*ATC Contingency Procedures to be used during Failure of Datalink in
Oceanic Controlled Airspace*

5.17 JCAB presented an updated version of the draft ATC contingency
procedures to be used during failure of datalink in the Pacific FIRs.
JCAB and FAA will coordinate with the Informal South Pacific Air Traffic
Services Coordination Group (ISPACG) prior to JCAB submitting a draft
amendment proposal to ICAO.

*Oakland ARTCC Update on Oakland FIR Waypoints on PACOTS Tracks*

5.18 Oakland ARTCC provided an update on Oakland FIR waypoints on
Pacific Organized Track System (PACOTS) tracks**.** This issue was
discussed at Oceanic Work Group (OWG) meetings. During these discussions
it became apparent that adding waypoints to the PACOTS tracks at the FIR
boundary would create dispatching and/or Flight Management System (FMS)
problems for some of the customers that auto-load their flight plans.
Some operators already make position reports.

## 5.19 Oakland ARTCC will publish an advisory in the Pacific Chart Supplement recommending operators make a 165E position report to enable more efficient use of flight level changes after entering the Oakland FIR. Once Ocean21 is fully implemented, ADS-equipped aircraft would no longer need to provide a 165E position report.

*Tokyo/Oakland CTA Boundary Fixes*

5.20 FAA provided a status update on the request by Tokyo ACC to add
additional fixes to the boundary of the control area between Oakland
ARTCC and Tokyo ACC. The fixes will become effective on 12 May 2005.
Oakland ARTCC will study what the impact might be to PACOTS tracks. The
U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) will check on the impact to their
operations. Information regarding these studies will be presented to
IPACG/23.

*Expansion of Exclusive RVSM Airspace to FL410*

5.21 The FAA presented an overview of the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) that
FAA published on 23 Dec 2004, concerning the expansion of exclusive
reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM) airspace to FL410 in Pacific
oceanic FIRs where FAA provides air traffic services. These changes were
effective on 20 January 2005.

5.22 JCAB plans to implement exclusive RVSM airspace up to FL410
concurrently with the implementation of domestic RVSM in autumn 2005.

*Implementation of Strategic Lateral Offsets Procedures*

## 5.23 JCAB presented information pointing out differences in their application of strategic lateral offsets in Tokyo and Naha FIRs. They noted that operators are not to offset while under radar control in JCAB airspace. JCAB published strategic lateral offset procedures for the Tokyo and Naha FIRs that were effective on 20 January 2005. FAA also published strategic lateral offset procedures for the Oakland and Anchorage FIRs that were effective on 20 January 2005.

####### Use of Non-Standard Altitude for Direction of Flight on ATS Routes G344/R591

5.24 Anchorage ARTCC presented information about a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) reached with Tokyo ACC which provides for the use of
non-standard altitude for direction of flight on ATS Routes G344 and
R591 during periods when these routes are designated as tracks within
the PACOTS.

*The Structure of Fixed Routes from Western PACOTS Gateways to Japanese
Domestic Airspace*

5.25 Tokyo ACC and ATFMC explained the impact of traffic flow around the
boundary between domestic and oceanic airspace at Tokyo ACC when PABBA
composes part of the gateway for westbound PACOTS tracks.

*Operating Procedures of PACOTS Tracks 11 & 12*

5.26 ATFMC advised of a future plan to change the time of daily
generation, coordination, and publication of PACOTS Tracks 11 and 12.

*Usage of Dl#68 \[Free Text\] (Distress) Message in CPDLC*

5.27 JCAB provided information on the usage of DL#68 \[free text\]
(Distress) by pilots and the reaction taken by the controller who
received the message.

5.28 IATA stated that there are clear guidelines and instructions in
case of emergency or distress situations. Situations of non-compliance
should be submitted as problem reports to the FIT.

*Implementation of Reduced Longitudinal Separation Minimum in the NOPAC
and CENPAC Airspace using ADS/CPDLC*

5.29 JCAB presented information regarding their implementation plan for
reduced longitudinal separation minimum in the North and Central Pacific
airspace using ADS and controller pilot datalink communications (CPDLC).

####### Implementation of ADS 50NM longitudinal separation minimum in the Tokyo FIR

5.30 Tokyo ACC presented information describing the introduction of ADS
50NM longitudinal separation minimum during level changes (step
climb/descent) on R220 and R580 in the Tokyo oceanic controlled
airspace. Implementation is scheduled for the middle of April 2005.

####### 30NM Lateral/30NM Longitudinal Separation throughout the Pacific

5.31 The FAA provided information on the successful implementation of
30/30 across the Tasman Sea airspace. FAA also provided a plan to
implement 30/30 throughout Pacific oceanic airspace, using lessons
learned from the Tasman Sea implementation as well as methods used in
other oceanic separation reduction efforts. FAA drafted a task list to
review and discuss as a possible template. FAA has a commitment to
implement 30/30 in a portion of the South Pacific Oakland FIR by the end
of calendar year 2005. While Central and North Pacific implementation
may not occur within the calendar year, FAA hopes to make progress
towards these goals.

5.32 FAA advised the group that the order on RNP4 aircraft approvals is
being finalized and will be published as FAA Order 8400.xx.

5.33 The points of contact for 30/30 implementation are Hideo Watanabe
from JCAB and Ann Moore from FAA.

*Draft Guidance Material for End-To-End Safety and Performance
Monitoring of*

*Air Traffic Service (ATS) Datalink Systems in the Asia/Pacific Region*

5.34 FAA presented draft guidance material on safety and performance
monitoring of ATS datalink systems, which had been developed by the
Second Meeting of the Asia Pacific Air Navigation Planning and
Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG) Regional Airspace Safety
Monitoring Advisory Group (RASMAG/2). Comments and recommendations were
requested by 14 February 2005.

## *Performance-Based Operations Aviation Rulemaking Committee (PARC) Communications Working Group*

5.35 FAA described activities within the United States under the
auspices of the Performance-based Operations Aviation Rulemaking
Committee (PARC). The PARC established a Communications Working Group to
produce mainly two roadmaps for transitioning communications to support
performance-based operations. For the near term, the roadmaps will
include the development of required communication performance (RCP)
criteria for ATC voice and data communications supporting 30/30
separation standards, clearance delivery in U.S. domestic en route
airspace and, based on the RCP criteria, a datalink roadmap covering all
airspace domains (oceanic and domestic). U.S. solutions are intended to
be globally seamless and interoperable, i.e., consider European
continental datalink applications and international airspace.

####### High Frequency Datalink Status Update

5.36 ARINC provided an overview of the high frequency datalink system.
Equipage, traffic and performance information were presented as well as
recent ATC related activities.

*Memorandum of Understanding on the use of Air Traffic Service
Interfacility Data Communications (AIDC) between Anchorage ARTCC and
Tokyo ACC*

5.37 Anchorage ARTCC provided information about an MOU reached with
Tokyo ACC which provided for the implementation and validation of AIDC
for coordination.

*Use of Global Positioning System Precise Positioning Service in
Domestic and International Airspace*

5.38 DOD outlined a vision for DOD and allied aircraft to transparently
navigate and operate in both domestic and international airspace in full
compliance with international and local requirements using Global
Positioning System (GPS) Precise Positioning Service (PPS) equipment in
addition to current sensors. Since GPS-PPS is not generally available
for civilian use, the DOD challenge is to develop and implement a
comprehensive approach for meeting or exceeding all civilian
requirements for operating in both domestic and international airspace.

*Turbulence Reporting*

5.39 Oakland ARTCC discussed the increase in non-standard reporting of
turbulence. According to ICAO guidance, turbulence is reported as light,
moderate, or severe. Some operators have been reporting turbulence with
a numerical value, i.e. turbulence 01. Ocean21 will generate a pilot
report when the proper ICAO format is used. Operators were requested to
review turbulence reporting procedures.

**6.0 Agenda Item 4: Report on the Outcome of the Ninth Meeting of the
IPACG FANS Interoperability Team (IPACG FIT/9)**

*Introduction and Welcome*

1.  The Ninth Meeting of the IPACG FANS Interoperability Team (IPACG
    FIT/9) was held on

24 January 2005.

6.2 The meeting was opened by the FAA FIT Co-chair, Mr. Reed Sladen,
Special Assistant to the Director, Oceanic & Offshore Directorate, and
by the JCAB FIT Co-chair, Mr. Hideo Watanabe, Special Assistant to the
Director, Office of the Aeronautical Satellite Systems.

*Agenda Item 1: Adoption of agenda*

6.3 The proposed agenda for the IPACG FIT/9 meeting was as follows:

> Agenda Item 1: Review and approve agenda
>
> Agenda Item 2: RFC 05-001 - DARP Procedures.doc
>
> Agenda Item 3: IP-1 Validation of Applicability of ADS Report to
> Surveillance
>
> Agenda Item 4: IP-2 ADS Problems That Affect ATC Services With
> Distance-Based
>
> Separation
>
> Agenda Item 5: Reports on the CRA and CRASA activities
>
> Agenda Item 6: Any Other Business

6.4 Mr. Sladen proposed to remove Agenda Item 2 because it is an issue
exclusive to the South Pacific for now, and the Request for Change (RFC)
has not yet been approved by ISPACG. With that amendment, the agenda was
approved.

*Agenda Item 3: IP-1 Validation of Applicability of ADS Report to
Surveillance*

6.5 Mr. Fujita of the Air Traffic Control Association Japan (ATCA-J)
presented an analysis of CPDLC and ADS reports over a 24-hour period to
validate the accuracy of ADS reports, which are to be used in the
oceanic ATC operations with distance based longitudinal separation
standards, according to ICAO provisions. The analysis revealed that
there was more than 90% correlation between the two types of position
reports.

(Note: ATC systems \[OCEAN21/ODP\] process all the ADS reports,
including waypoint and periodic reports, displaying accurate aircraft
positions on ATC screens.)

6.6 The full report is available on the Internet at
<http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/ipacg.htm> \-- see the link for "FIT-9 IP-1
Validation of Applicability of ADS Report to Surveillance.doc."

*Agenda Item 4: IP-2 ADS Problems That Affect ATC Services With
Distance-Based Separation*

6.7 Mr. Fujita of ATCA-J presented four examples of anomalies where ADS
next-fix prediction is incorrect.

6.8 In summary, the four examples were demonstrated. Boeing and Airbus
explained the reasons for the waypoint processing within ADS and showed
why the airborne software cannot and should not be changed. It was
pointed out that the FANS-1/A Operations Manual specifically provides
protective procedures to use in these situations. (For examples, see
Sections 5.8.8, 6.10, and 8.6.6)

6.9 The full report is available on the Internet at
<http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/ipacg.htm> \-- see the link for "FIT-9 IP-2
ADS Problems That Affect ATC Services With Distance-Based
Separation.doc."

*Agenda Item 5: Reports on the CRA and CRASA activities*

6.10 Gordon Sandell of Boeing, on behalf of the FAA, presented a summary
of the problem report activity in the Oakland and Anchorage FIRs. There
were three in the North Pacific and none were proposed for closure.

6.11 Ms. Suzuki and Mr. Fujita of ATCA-J, on behalf of JCAB, presented a
summary of the problem report activity in the Tokyo FIR. There were
ninety seven (97) new problem reports, which have been analyzed and
categorized as consisting of twenty-seven (27) similar problem groups.

6.12 There were three groups of problem reports proposed for closure and
the FIT concurred.

6.13 The full reports are available on the Internet at
<http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/ipacg.htm> \-- see the links for "CRA
Activity Since IPACG-21.doc," "FAA CRA Summary for IPACG-22 FIT-9.ppt,"
and "FIT-9 JCAB CRA Problem Report Activity.ppt."

*Agenda Item 6: Other business.*

6.14 For the benefit of the new attendees who had never attended a FIT
meeting, the co-chairs thought it appropriate to give a quick summary
review of FIT history. The original FANS Interoperability Group was
established by ISPACG to facilitate the implementation of FANS. Since
that time FIT teams have been formed all over the world, and they all
function in essentially the same way. Membership includes all the
region's stakeholders: airlines, ATS units, controllers, pilots,
airframe manufacturers, and communications service providers.

6.15 In Japan and the United States the Central Reporting Authority
(CRA) is tasked with arranging and supporting collection and analysis of
data to help resolve FANS implementation problems. Agreements of
confidentiality between the CRA's and all the various stakeholders
enable free collection and exchange of de-identified data to anyone
necessary. This complete and open flow of information is absolutely
essential to the safe implementation of FANS. The success of the FIT is
dependent upon pilots, controllers, and equipment manufacturers finding
out about errors, and correcting them without fear of retribution.

6.16 In both countries the actual collection and analysis work is done
by a Central Reporting Authority Support Agency. In Japan this is ATCA-J
and in the United States it is Boeing Corporation.

**7.0 Agenda Item 5: Review and update of CNS/ATM Planning Chart**

7.1 The CNS/ATM Planning Chart was presented and updated, and is at
Appendix B.

**8.0 Agenda Item 6: Evaluation of Costs and Benefits**

8.1 The NPACE group gave a presentation with the results for the
requested scenarios, involving the longitudinal separation standards
available with RNP-10 and RNP-4 aircraft capabilities. It was concluded
by the IPACG that the initial request had been fulfilled and that the
results were acceptable, but it was also expressed by several of the
members that it would be desirable to expand the study to include the
30nm lateral separation standards available with the RNP-4 aircraft
capability. Therefore, an NPACE Study Advisory Group (NSAG) meeting was
called to define the parameters of the supplementary study.

8.2 Several possible scenarios were discussed and continued work with
the NSAG will further data collection and scenario definitions.

8.3 The meeting expressed their appreciation to the FAA Technical Center
and Rutgers University staffs for their support.

**9.0 Agenda Item 7: Other Business**

*Summary of the Second Meeting of the Regional Airspace Safety
Monitoring Advisory Group*

9.1 The FAA presented a summary of the Second Meeting of the Regional
Airspace Safety Monitoring Advisory Group (RASMAG/2), which was held in
Bangkok from 4 to 8 October 2004. The full text of the report and all
working and information papers presented to the meeting are available
for download from the Internet at
http://www.icao.int/icao/en/ro/apac/2004/RASMAG2/index.html.

> *ICAO Language Proficiency Level*
>
> 9.2 Although they were not available to attend the meeting, the ICAO
> Asia Pacific Regional Office provided information to the meeting on
> the new ICAO provisions for operational staff involved in
> international operations to demonstrate a minimum level of language
> proficiency by 5 March 2008, and introduced the *Manual on the
> Implementation of the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements* (Doc
> 9835).

9.3 The paper highlighted the substantial work that needs to be
completed by States in the preparation and application of language
testing instruments in order to assess the present ability of pilots,
radio operators and air traffic controllers to meet the SARPs, and
explores issues of aviation language training aimed at enhancing the
language skills of operational staff to a level that meets the ICAO
provisions.

9.4 The meeting noted the provisions of Annexes 1, 6, 10 and 11 relating
to language proficiency requirements, including compliance by 5 March
2008 and the availability of the ICAO *Manual on the Implementation of
the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements* (Doc 9835). There was a
review of the complexities of ensuring the language proficiency
assessment of all operational staff, and of the implementation of
language enhancement training programs for staff that do not initially
reach the minimum standard. In the context of the need to prepare and
administer formal language testing instruments, and to retrain
unsuccessful candidates, the meeting noted the short time period
remaining prior to implementation; and considered regional or sub
regional arrangements for the effective and ongoing provision of
appropriate aviation language testing and training mechanisms to
facilitate compliance with the SARPS.

*Next meeting*

9.5 The next meeting of IPACG will be hosted by JCAB in Tokyo, Japan,
the week of 11-15 July 2005.

*Closing of the meeting*

9.6 Mr. Ono thanked everyone for their active participation, with a
special thanks to the FIT and ATM WG co-chairs. He noted the success in
closing some of the open action items. Mr. Ono stated that 2005 is an
important year for JCAB and FAA with the relaunching of MTSAT in
February 2005, implementation of separation based on ADS, the
establishment of task forces on ATFM common terminology and 30/30
separation, reduced separation between tracks between JCAB and FAA, and
ICAO language proficiency requirements. Mr. Ono expressed appreciation
to the FAA for providing the IPACG website and noted that JCAB is trying
to establish an English website. He concluded by inviting everyone to
IPACG/23 in Tokyo.

9.7 Ms. McCormick thanked everyone and expressed appreciation to the WG
co-chairs and interpreters. She looks forward to successful progress on
the new tasks.
