# Summary of Discussions

Twentieth Meeting of the

Informal Pacific Air Traffic Control Coordination Group

(IPACG/20)

6-10 October 2003; Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

1.  **Background**

1.1 The Twentieth Meeting of the Informal Pacific Air Traffic Control
(ATC) Coordinating Group (IPACG/20) was held at the Renaissance Ilikai
Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, from 6-10 October 2003. 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 Mr. Akira Ono for the Japan Civil
Aviation Bureau (JCAB) and Ms. Leslie McCormick for the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). The meeting attendees are shown in Appendix A.

2.2 Ms. Leslie McCormick welcomed the IPACG participants as well as
several representatives from the Informal South Pacific ATS Coordinating
Group (ISPACG) who were invited to attend IPACG/20. Ms. McCormick
acknowledged the work of the CNS/ATM Guidance Material Task Force
Meeting and the 7^th^ meeting of the FANS Interoperability Team (FIT/7)
which were held during the days prior to IPACG/20. She noted the
significance of the 20th Meeting of IPACG and congratulated the
participants on the accomplishments in recent years, which included the
implementation of reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) in the
Pacific airspace, 50 NM lateral separation, development of the Pacific
Operations Manual (POM), consensus on several communications procedures,
and the establishment of the FIT. Ms. McCormick outlined the topics of
discussion for IPACG/20: 50 NM longitudinal separation, use of automatic
dependent surveillance (ADS) in Pacific airspace, enhanced air traffic
management (ATM) cooperation, and user benefit studies. She also noted
there has been an outstanding exchange of ideas which has contributed to
IPACG's long success and congratulated Mr. Ono and his team for all
their hard work.

2.3 Mr. Akira Ono also congratulated the meeting on its success and
thanked the FAA team and

Ms. McCormick for their hospitality. Mr. Ono expressed his regrets that
past meetings did not occur as scheduled due to unforeseen
circumstances, but stated his satisfaction with the presence of the
ISPACG representatives.

2.4 Ms. McCormick recognized the ATM Working Group (WG) co-chairs, Mr.
Gary Hancock of the FAA, and Mr. Satoshi Yamaguchi of JCAB, and thanked
Messrs. Reed Sladen and Yoshiki Imakawa for their leadership of the FIT
meeting.

**5.0 Agenda Item 2: Review of the Summary of the IPACG/19 Providers
Meeting**

1.  Ms. McCormick summarized the discussions of the IPACG/19 Providers'
    Meeting held in Tokyo,

Japan, 14-17 July 2003. The Summary of Discussions was presented to the
meeting as an information paper. In regards to strategic lateral
offsets, she informed the meeting that the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) Separation and Airspace Safety Panel (SASP) had
advised the FAA that the ICAO State Letter will be revised to include
study results found by the Mathematicians' Sub-group. Tokyo Area Control
Center (ACC) and Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)
continued to gather information on overdue position reports and would
present their findings to this meeting. JCAB and FAA would report on
bilateral contingency plans, as agreed at IPACG/19. JCAB requested that
the FAA report on amendments to the FAA's contingency checklist and the
FAA agreed to report that the four items listed in paragraph 5.26 are
now in effect.

##### **6.0 Agenda Items 3 & 4: ATM and CNS Issues**

6.1 Co-chairs of the ATM WG led the discussions on ATM and
communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) issues.

*Airspace Safety and Monitoring*

2.  The FAA presented a paper on the large height deviation reports
    received by the Pacific

Approvals Registry and Monitoring Organization (PARMO). The paper
endorsed re-emphasis of reporting large height deviations to PARMO each
month, including the submission of "nil" reports.

6.3 JCAB acknowledged the importance of reporting such information. The
participating air traffic services units (ATSUs) agreed to submit
contact information to the PARMO by 1 November 2003.

6.4 The FAA presented a paper announcing the future distribution of a
regular report to be published

by the PARMO. The purpose of the proposed report is to provide the ATS
providers and airspace users with safety information relevant to RVSM
and required navigation performance (RNP-10) in Pacific airspace. The
meeting provided comments on content and distribution. It was noted that
the Regional Airspace Safety Monitoring Advisory Group (RASMAG),
recently established by the 14^th^ Meeting of the Asia Pacific Air
Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG/14), may
be able to provide the PARMO with a distribution list.

*ITC/ITD Procedure Using TCAS*

5.  The FAA presented a paper outlining the background and experience
    with Oceanic In-Trail

Climb (ITC) and In-Trail Descent (ITD) test procedures using the
Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) or Traffic Alert and
Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and requested that the meeting agree
to either eliminate the procedure or propose an amendment to ICAO Doc
7030 to make this a permanent procedure.

6.6 United Airlines informed the meeting that although this procedure
was removed from the flight manual several years ago, it is considering
its re-implementation since the airline has reconsidered all procedures
that may increase operational efficiency. United Airlines urged the
meeting not to cancel this procedure.

6.7 FAA Flight Standards expressed concerns regarding pilot training and
procedures for identification of the lead aircraft by the in-trail
aircraft, and stated that controllers must be made aware which operators
are approved to use this procedure.

6.8 JCAB expressed concerns about the use of TCAS for the purpose of
separation and whether the pilot or controller has ultimate
responsibility. JCAB wished to study the subject further and consult
with JCAB Flight Standards.

6.9 IFATCA and JCAB both expressed concern with the use of this
procedure when the legal aspects are unclear. JCAB questioned the
advisability of continuing this test over the high seas without ICAO
concurrence.

6.10 USAF felt that the advent of ADS-B provided the perfect opportunity
to re-evaluate this procedure. The meeting noted that many things have
changed since the introduction of this procedure in 1994, including the
implementation of RVSM and the future introduction of reduced
longitudinal separation using ADS. Current and future developments must
be taken into account in evaluating the need for this procedure.

6.11 The meeting decided to table this item so that JCAB and FAA may
study it further. The International Air Transport Association (IATA)
representative will poll the airlines on the use of the procedure and
their TCAS equipage and will report the results to IPACG/21.

*Position Reporting Deficiencies*

6.12 Oakland ARTCC presented a paper summarizing the controller-pilot
data link communications (CPDLC) and high frequency (HF) position report
deficiencies that have occurred in Oakland ARTCC airspace. The purpose
in presenting this paper was simply to raise awareness on this issue.
Oakland ARTCC estimated 29 overdue reports per day over an 83-day period
from 5 March to 26 May 2003, and also during August 2003. The airlines
acknowledged the problem and stated that they are working to correct it.

6.13 Similarly, Tokyo ACC presented a paper summarizing CPDLC position
report deficiencies in Tokyo FIR. Within 160 working hours, from 5 May
2003 to 10 July 2003, 15 CPDLC position reports were not received within
5 minutes after passing a waypoint. The airlines were reminded of the
ICAO requirement to make position reports as soon as possible after
passing a waypoint and to report any problems to the FIT Central
Reporting Agency (CRA).

*Realignment of Oakland Oceanic/Domestic Sector Boundary*

6.14 Oakland ARTCC presented a paper on their revised eastern oceanic
boundary and new gateway

fixes that were developed in order to improve operations . The airlines
applauded Oakland ARTCC's efforts to provide more flexibility and
efficiency and reported that they have not had any problems with this
realignment. All Nippon Airways and JAL informed Oakland ARTCC that
their customized version of the Jeppesen chart was not updated in
September 2003.

*[Establishment of Communication Methods between FAA ATCSCC and JCAB
ATFMC]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[6.15 FAA and JCAB jointly presented information on the direct
communication links between the FAA ATCSCC and JCAB Air Traffic Flow
Management Center (ATFMC). JCAB and FAA collaboratively worked towards
the establishment of these links during the past year and provided
details of the progress of these activities. They explained that this
link is of great importance as discussed at IPACG/17 and 18. JCAB stated
that full implementation may be affected by decisions relating to the
preparation for the ATMC.]{.mark}

*ATC Contingency Procedures for Datalink Failure*

6.16 JCAB presented draft ATC contingency procedures to be used during
the failure of data link in the Pacific FIRs and proposed an amendment
to ICAO Doc. 7030.

6.17 The meeting noted that speed assignment and lateral offset should
be utilized as the first steps in dealing with a loss of data link. It
was also suggested that if the 500 ft. vertical separation was used as a
contingency procedure, it should be used in conjunction with separation
in another dimension (e.g., lateral offset), even if less than an
approved minimum, but in no circumstance should ATC rely solely on 500
ft. vertical separation. The importance of HFDL as a tertiary means of
communication was also reiterated.

6.18 The meeting agreed that the Task Force formed at IPACG/19 and other
interested members would continue to develop a procedure. The Task Force
was requested to continue their work and report to IPACG/21.

*Control Area Airspace (CTA) Boundary*

6.19 Tokyo ACC presented information regarding operations on the Control
Area Airspace (CTA) boundary of Oakland ARTCC and Tokyo ACC. FAA
commented that the CTA's original purpose was to aid internal processing
of flight plan information. Some airlines commented that the exact
nature of the boundary was confusing to pilots and dispatchers and asked
what is expected of the airlines. Oakland ARTCC and Tokyo ACC have
agreed to study the addition of more fixes on the CTA boundary to
alleviate confusion, and they will report to the next meeting.

*Removal of Restriction on PACOTS Tracks*

6.20 The ATFMC of Japan and Oakland ARTCC reported on the outcome of the
test in which restrictions on PACOTS tracks were removed. Analysis data
of two trials were presented and the meeting agreed to formalize this
change.

*CPDLC Limited Service in Tokyo FIR*

6.21 Tokyo ACC presented information on CPDLC limited service in the
Tokyo FIR and summarized inappropriate use of cruise climb requests and
route change requests using CPDLC. It was noted that this information is
contained in the Pacific Operations Manual (POM).

*[Reduced Separation Minima in NOPAC and CENPAC]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[6.22 JCAB updated the meeting on the status of their plan to implement
50NM longitudinal separation minimum using ADS in NOPAC and CENPAC
airspace. The meeting was advised that flights departing from Asian
cities and bound for North America merged with flows from Japan to enter
the NOPAC and CENPAC. JCAB intends to provide more efficient operations
in NOPAC and CENPAC following the implementation of 50NM longitudinal
separation, and requested the meeting to consider preferred route
operations on eastbound NOPAC tracks during certain hours.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[6.23 Traffic data collected and presented by JCAB showed that depending
on hours, the population of data link aircraft/non-data link aircraft
and the population of aircraft departing from Japan/Asia varied. If data
link capable aircraft prefer to fly A590 and non-data link aircraft
prefer to fly R591 or G344, JCAB considered that more efficient
operations could be provided. JCAB also considered that these preferred
operations could only be achieved during hours when data link capable
aircraft and non-data link aircraft were half and half and when
departing aircraft and over-flying aircraft are evenly distributed.
These occurred on eastbound NOPAC during 0400-0600 hours (crossing time
at the Anchorage/Tokyo common FIR boundary) on 3-9 August 2003.]{.mark}

[6.24 United Airlines stated that the term "preferred route" is often
not the user's desired route since overflight costs are considered in
route development. While the JCAB's proposal is to seek cooperation from
the users to flight plan A590 for data link aircraft and R591/G344 for
non-data link aircraft, the users can still select their preference when
operational needs arise. The users agreed to accept preferred route
operations for eastbound NOPAC during certain hours detailed in
paragraph above.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[6.25 The meeting noted that it is still more than 12 months before the
implementation of 50NM longitudinal separation minimum. The traffic
figures and the hours when preferred operation would be applied may
change. It was advised that JCAB does not intend to implement plans or
procedures which are not accepted by the operators and neighboring
ACCs.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[6.26 Regarding implementation of ADS procedures, JCAB advised that they
plan to replace the current CPDLC waypoint reporting (WPR) with ADS WPR
in late 2004, and apply the 50NM longitudinal separation minimum during
level changes following ADS WPR. JCAB intends to implement the 50NM
longitudinal separation minimum at cruise using ADS, following the
commissioning of MTSAT-1R, coincidentally with Anchorage and Oakland
FIRs.]{.mark}

[6.27 JCAB advised that a proposed amendment to Doc. 7030 allowing the
application of 50/30 NM longitudinal separation minima and 30 lateral
separation minimum in the Pacific had been circulated among States in
September 2003 and the closing date for comments was 17 October
2003.]{.mark}

*[ATOP Status Update]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[6.28 The FAA reported on the status of the Advanced Technologies and
Operational Procedures Program (ATOP), which will deploy the Lockheed
Martin Ocean 21 automation system to Oakland, New York, and Anchorage
ARTCCs in two "builds." Build 1 will take advantage of ADS capabilities
to allow extended use of 50 NM longitudinal separation and Build 2 will
integrate radar data as well as add enhancements which will allow
separation reduction down to 30 NM lateral and longitudinal.]{.mark}

*Airspace Capacity Enhancement between Hong Kong and Tokyo*

6.29 IFATCA informed the meeting of the outcome of the IFATCA Northeast
Asia Traffic Management (NEAT) meeting, which recommended reducing
longitudinal separation between aircraft from Hong Kong FIR entering
Taipei, Naha, and Tokyo FIRs bound for destinations in North America
from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

*Implementation of Reservation services for NOPAC and CENPAC*

6.30 JCAB introduced information on the implementation of International
Route Reservation Service (IRRES) for aircraft departing from east Asia
or Japan to North America or Hawaii through the NOPAC and CENPAC. This
program will allocate route, altitude, and time slots for affected
flights on these routes. The operators and IATA expressed concern that
this program may create unnecessary restrictions. JCAB noted the
importance of anticipating traffic growth across the NOPAC and CENPAC
originating mainly from Asia. JCAB would take the comments received into
consideration and noted that there would be ample time for user input
before the scheduled implementation in 2008.

*[Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[6.31 FAA updated the meeting on the status of the ICAO State Letter
concerning Strategic Lateral Offsets. The ICAO Separation and Airspace
Safety Panel (SASP) will conduct further risk analysis, and the revised
State Letter will be delayed approximately 6 months. FAA will present a
paper at IPACG/21 concerning the results of the risk analysis and
updated status on the State Letter.]{.mark}

*Establishment of Air Traffic Management Center in Japan*

6.32 JCAB introduced the plan for establishing an Air Traffic Management
Center (ATMC) in Japan. The ATMC will have three components of air
traffic management, which are Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM),
airspace management (ASM) and Air Traffic Services (ATS). One of the
highlighted functionalities of the ATMC is collaborative decision making
(CDM) with airspace users and civil-military cooperation. Operational
commencement is planned for October 2005. JCAB also advised that the
oceanic control services provided by Tokyo and Naha ACCs will be
transferred to the ATMC gradually.

**7.0 Agenda Item 5: Report on the Outcome of the FANS Interoperability
Team (FIT) Meeting**

### 7.1 The FIT issues were addressed by the IPACG FANS Interoperability Team Working Group, which was co-chaired by Mr. Reed Sladen, FAA, and Mr. Yoshiki Imawaka, JCAB. 

*Pacific Operations Manual (POM)*

7.2 Mr. Sladen discussed issues associated with the POM. The POM will
eventually become Part 3 of the ICAO CNS/ATM Guidance Material (GM) as
discussed at the GM Task Force meeting held last week. With the ultimate
goal of regional harmonization, procedures for the Bay of Bengal and the
Indian Ocean areas will be integrated into the POM.

*Review of the Report of Agenda Item 4 of the IPACG/19 Meeting*

7.3 Mr. Imawaka explained that the IPACG/19 meeting was attended only by
ATS and data link service providers (DLSP). For this reason, it was
appropriate to present the outcomes to this meeting. Revisions made to
the POM can be found on page 7, paragraph 6.2 of the *Summary of
Discussions* from IPACG/19. This updated version of the POM has been
published as Version 2.0. Airbus presented the ADS issues experienced
with FANS-A in service in the North Atlantic Region. Airbus and Boeing
jointly presented a proposed phraseology for notifying an aircrew to
check that the ADS system is armed. JCAB and FAA Central Reporting
Agencies (CRAs) presented problem reports received since FIT/6 to the
meeting. JCAB CRA Supporting Agency (CRASA)'s problem reports are listed
in Appendix B of the meeting report. Mr. Imawaka noted that JCAB has not
yet approved high frequency data link (HFDL) for ATC purposes because it
is necessary to further research the subject. ARINC and SITA gave
presentations at IPACG/19 in order to explain DLSP outage notification
methods. The notification methods proposed were satisfactory to ATSPs
present. IPACG/19 noted that it was decided in an ISPACG meeting in 1998
that DLSPs would notify ATSPs of outages within 15 minutes.

7.4 A representative from Australia requested that ARINC also notify
ACCs in Australia of outages. ARINC responded affirmatively noting that
ARINC notifies all concerned parties when an outage occurs, and
Australia should now receive notifications just as JCAB and the FAA do.

7.5 A question was raised as to how ATC differentiates between different
types of DL communication media, i.e. FMC/WPR or ADS/WPR. ARINC informed
the group that the pilot chooses the type of message and that if it is
an AOC message, then it will attempt HF, VHF, and then SATCOM. ARINC
said that if the HF protocol is turned on, then it will make an attempt
for other media. Airbus and Boeing were asked to provide information on
this matter. Airbus asked the meeting to note information provided to
the meeting regarding HFDL service and the selective routing policy to
differentiate ATC DL from AOC. The routing policy for ATC messages will
be VDL Mode 2 (if activated), VDL Mode A, SATCOM DL, and HFDL (if
activated). These are options, ATC can choose the priority. Boeing noted
that it has the same policy as Airbus. It was noted that the problem is
that the controllers do not always know what media the message is coming
from. JCAB was encouraged to conduct testing on HFDL.

7.6 A representative from Continental Airlines told the meeting that
767s are tri-media aircraft and that the media configuration table is as
described by Boeing and Airbus. Continental feels strongly that the
addition of HFDL will raise the availability of communications. He
pointed out that ATC HFDL is only sent as a last resort. He noted that
in times when SATCOM is inoperable, the crew may not be aware that their
message was not transmitted; therefore, there must be a greater effort
in alerting crew on the status of the message as it relates to media in
the aircraft. Continental Airlines also encouraged JCAB to consider HFDL
for ATC use in the Pacific.

7.7 Mr. Imawaka replied that they must discuss this within JCAB. One of
the major concerns is the use of HFDL in environments with reduced
lateral and longitudinal separation using ADS, as is being proposed for
the NOPAC and CENPAC once ADS is in service. This is a performance
issue. If it is used only for WPR, then it is useful. JCAB is interested
in knowing ISPACG's discussions on the same matter since they will
implement 30/30 prior to the NOPAC and CENPAC. Tokyo ACC noted that it
is difficult to use HFDL due to performance issues related to timing.
ARINC understands this performance issue and is working to resolve it by
installing another station, which will enhance the performance standard.
The meeting noted that although HFDL does not meet the performance
standard listed in the POM, it is still quicker than HF voice.

Reports on the CRA and CRASA activities (Note: actual PRs closed are
shown in Appendix B)

7.8 FAA CRA presented their problem report activity since IPACG/19, and
discussed the following:

-   IPACG/19 Summary

-   NOPAC FAA CRA Problem Reporting Activity since IPACG/19

-   New Problem Reports for Discussion

-   Problem Reports Ready for Closure

7.9 JCAB CRA presented their problem report activity since IPACG/19

-   Summary of problem reports presented at IPACG/19

-   Explanation of PRs to be closed at FIT/7

-   Detailed explanation of problem reports and message flow charts

7.10 A question was posed about ADS functioning when an aircraft is
offset from its route, referencing PR10107. Boeing explained that it is
inherent in the FMC system. The POM addresses this issue.

*Operational impact of the modification of the CPDLC Emergency mode*

7.11 Airbus briefed the meeting on the operational impact of the
modification of the CPDLC emergency mode. During the flight test
campaign of the FANS A+ standard, the CPDLC Emergency mode was exercised
as part of an operational scenario. Problems have led Airbus to modify
the way the CPDLC Emergency mode is built and to modify the content of
the defaulted CPDLC Emergency message. Airbus presented the operational
reasons for the modification and the scenario that was carried out.

*SITA Centralized FMC Waypoint Reporting System Service*

7.12 The NAT Region has been involved in DL services for many years and
the Gander and Shanwick areas support ADS and CPDLC service. This
service is a means to increase the DL participation of aircraft not able
to use ADS and CPDLC. NAVCANADA awarded a contract to SITA to develop
FMC waypoint reporting service and will soon be using it operationally.
The Pacific could potentially see a benefit to this service to increase
DL position reporting. The message format will appear similar to other
DL service.

13. In response to a query as to the number of aircraft participating in
    CPDLC and ADS,

Mr. Imawaka responded that from Tokyo's perspective, around 30-60
percent are DL capable, depending on track and time. In item 10 in the
flight plan, the operator must state whether the aircraft is DL capable.

7.14 Oakland ARTCC agreed with the JCAB figures, and added that in the
South Pacific the percentage is much higher, above 90 percent.

7.15 Mr. Imawaka pointed out that it is important to alleviate HF voice
congestion. In terms of NOPAC/CENPAC, the meeting must consider the
impact on reduced separation standards using ADS, e.g., 50 longitudinal
or 30 longitudinal. Studies should be conducted as to whether the AOC
WPR can support these separation reductions properly. United Airlines
has 13 B767-300 aircraft that are not FANS compliant, but can use DL
through the FMC WPR.

*Boeing Presentation on CPDLC*

7.16 Boeing and Airbus have developed a feature that alarms crew of a
late message. For oceanic operations, Boeing does not think this will
have an impact. The default timer is set to 6 minutes unless the crew
changes it. In domestic airspace, the domestic center will ask the
operator to set timer to their required value. For oceanic control, if
the message is delayed more than 6 minutes, the controller may receive a
call from the aircraft. Based on statistics, Boeing does not believe
this will happen often. There may be a need to amend the POM to
reference this feature. This information is also being presented at the
NAT FIG meeting this week in Annapolis. Discussion ensued in which it
was made clear that this function is always on, and compares the uplink
message sent time with the FMC receive time. The maximum delay value is
not known, but believed to be 999 seconds. If the uplink contains no
time stamp the function is inoperative.

7.17 Mr. Allen Storm, USAF, briefed on the " *Air Traffic Services
Systems Requirements and Objectives (ATS SR&O)"* for the KC-135. The
USAF has upgraded its KC-135s to equip with data link capabilities and
plans to install the data link in some 500 aircraft. This briefing was
an initial presentation of standardized data link free text messages
associated with military operations such as air refueling. The USAF
solicits FIT participation in a work group to assist in this effort, to
adopt common CPDLC message during air refueling across FIRs, and include
this information in amendments to the POM and ICAO GM. Considerable
discussion took place to present potential issues, and the meeting
agreed with the intent of the effort, to resolve any problems in the
military data link implementation. The time frame for completion of this
installation is 2013-2015.

7.18 The co-chairs requested an information paper on the new A380 from
Airbus be presented to the next FIT meeting.

7.19 The meeting was then closed with sincere thanks to all.

**8.0 Agenda Item 6: Review and update of CNS/ATM Planning Chart**

8.1 The CNS/ATM Planning Chart was presented and updated, and is at
Appendix C.

**[9.0 Agenda Item 7: Evaluation of Costs and Benefits]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

[9.1 The FAA Technical Center and Rutgers University presented the
progress to date associated with the North Pacific Airspace Cost
Effectiveness (NPACE) Study. The main purpose of the NPACE study is to
examine the relative value/benefit of potential future changes to NOPAC
airspace. This presentation provided an overview of the flight event,
flight planning and flight tracking algorithms used in the simulation
model. The NPACE Study analyzed two limited scenarios: high/low speed
tracks and ADS/non-ADS tracks.]{.mark}

*[High/Low Speed Tracks]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[9.2 A comparison between simulated flight plans for the current track
usage in the PACOTS track system and simulated flight plans for the high
speed/low speed track usage was presented in the FAA/Rutgers University
study. The simulation results showed that as the percentage of flights
classified as "high-speed" increases and these flights are assigned to
the preferred tracks (E, F, 1 and 2) the percentage of fuel savings per
flight ranges from 0.1% to 0.3% and the percentage of oceanic crossing
time savings ranges from 0.15% to 0.47%.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[9.3 It was pointed out that the wide variability between airline cost
indices would preclude using it as an objective function performance
measure. The FAA stated that fuel burn and time delay measures provide a
clearer indication of overall system performance.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[*ADS/Non-ADS Tracks*.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[9.4 A comparison between simulated flight plans for the current track
usage (non-segregated) and simulated flight plans for ADS/non-ADS track
usage (segregated) was presented in the FAA/Rutgers University study.
Simulation of seven days of air traffic was conducted and the fuel burn
for segregated and non-segregated (ADS/non-ADS) scenarios showed that
there were potential fuel savings ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% and time
savings ranging from 0.25% to 0.39% when preferred tracks were assigned
to ADS equipped aircraft. The baseline assumption was that the aircraft
were evenly distributed on each track.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

5.  [Northwest Airlines expressed frustration with the results of the
    study stating that the original request asked the FAA to determine
    when the airlines could anticipate that enhancements would be
    mandated based on system capacity so that they could plan their
    fleet equipage. They would like to know an approximate date when the
    PACOTS tracks would be expected to reach 85% capacity so that they
    may equip aircraft in time.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

6.  [It was noted that the NPACE Study was in its initial phase and
    further study must be done to illustrate benefits derived from
    reduced longitudinal and lateral separation standards. The
    FAA/Rutgers agreed to endeavor to answer those questions posed at
    IPACG/20, however they asked that the users keep in mind that the
    model is in its initial phase.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

7.  [The meeting was reminded of initial goal of the study, which was
    developed at IPACG/17:]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

> *["Traffic growth in the Pacific Oceanic Area will eventually absorb
> the current operating enhancements that have been introduced in the
> area (e.g., RNP-10 and RVSM). Other enhancements such as ADS, CPDLC
> and further reductions in spacing will be required to allow for the
> continued growth. ... In order to maximize the benefits of any new
> enhancements, the cost to equip must be balanced with the benefit they
> provide. Introduction of new technologies or procedures without
> considering the financial impact on operators can result in
> unnecessary expenditures with less than optimum return on investment.
> A proposal was made... to form a group to determine the maximum
> capacity in the Region, then determine the percentage of that capacity
> at which enhancements will be needed to maintain uninterrupted growth
> and also the point at which a decision must be made to implement new
> enhancements."]{.mark}*

[]{.mark}

[9.8 The meeting agreed that a group made up of airlines, regulatory
authorities, and ATS providers would be established to assist the
mathematicians from the FAA/Rutgers staff to interpret system
operational mechanics to bring more realism to the model or to provide
specific, focused data about operations. It was recalled that the larger
task of specifying scenarios and goals was the purview of IPACG.]{.mark}

**10.0 Agenda Item 8: Other Business**

####### Update of Action Items

10.1 The meeting updated the action item list, which is at Appendix D.

*Closing*

2.  JCAB will host IPACG/21 during the week of 7-11 June 2004 at the
    Koukuu-Kaikan in Tokyo,

Japan. The FIT will meet in advance of IPACG/21. Further details will be
provided by JCAB prior to the meeting.

10.3 The Co-chairs expressed their appreciation for the support of all
participants during the meeting. The meeting was closed by the
Co-chairs.
