## Background: Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B)

- A**utomatic**
- Periodically transmits information with no pilot or operator input required
- D**ependent**
- Position and velocity vector are derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS)
- S**urveillance -**
- A method of determining position of aircraft, vehicles, or other asset
- B**roadcast**
- Transmitted information available to anyone with the appropriate receiving equipment

## Background: Traffic Information Service - Broadcast / Flight Information Service - Broadcast

**TIS-B is a service which provides ADS-B equipped aircraft with position reports from secondary surveillance radar on non-ADS-B equipped aircraft.**

**FIS-B transmits graphical National Weather Service products, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), and special use airspace.**

**Notes:**
For TIS-B: The pack man symbols are your TIS-B data
For FIS-B shows the split cockpit screen, FIS-B and Terrain. This is in Windy Pass Alaska

Both of these are actual cockpit displays being used in Alaska.

## Background: Wide Area Multilateration

**Multilateration: Employs multiple small remote sensors that can be distributed throughout a geographic area to compensate for the terrain obstructions. The surveillance data is used to determine aircraft position and identification. This data is then transmitted to air traffic control centers for use in providing surveillance separation services.**
**Currently, Juneau and Colorado Mountain Airports will be the first to receive this system.**

## Multilateration Visual Concept

## Benefits from Multilateration

**Enhanced Safety: Increase safety by being able to see aircraft that are currently outside radar coverage **
**Improve Overall Flow Efficiency: Improve arrival and departure efficiency **
**Economic Benefits: Reduce lost revenue due to diversions of flights to other than destination airports**
- Improved surveillance translates into more efficient flight tracks, which means less fuel burned and increased hourly capacity

## Background: Program Objective

**Develop a multi-segment, life cycle managed, performance based ADS-B strategy that aligns with the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) vision and generates value for the National Airspace System (NAS)**
- Integrate Concept of Operations for Portfolio of ADS-B Applications
- Develop Application Life Cycle Management Approach
- Establish Infrastructure
- Continuously Monitor Value and Adjust Investments

## Alaska Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

- The FAA formalized a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Alaskan Aviation Community and state representatives on February 9, 2007. The agreement established the continuation of safety improvements in Alaska as a priority for all parties.
- The MOA also established a joint FAA / Industry Agreement Implementation Committee (AIC) and stipulated that the AIC would prepare an implementation plan. The plan outlined details on coordination and planning, equipage assistance, financing options, ground site evaluations and recommendations.
- While the overall program goal is to equip every active aircraft in Alaska, this plan has a measured goal of achieving aircraft equipage equating to at least 90% of total Alaskan flight hours (approximately 4000 aircraft).

## Agreement Implementation Committee (AIC)

**The AIC and Capstone Statewide Working Group, who is a group made up of the statewide Aviation representatives and FAA representatives, completed this plan in July 2007.  The final document  was signed on August 8, 2007 and was incorporated into the baseline for the JRC plan that was approved on August 27, 2007.**
**Four sub groups have been established and meet once a week to implement the plan.**
**Planning** – responsible for the contents of the plan
**Avionics Equipage Team** – works with pilots on training and maintenance activities
**Ground Infrastructure Team** – developing a plan for implementation of ground infrastructure, including ground stations and IFR airport upgrades
**Outreach/Education Team** – developing a plan to add additional MOA signatories, secure funding options, and conduct outreach and education to the public through trade shows, public events, and other means of outreach aimed at aircraft operators throughout the state

## FAA and Alaska Industry Responsibilities

## Governor Sarah Palin signs low interest Loan Bill (SB No. 249) into Law.

**The Bill would establish a new $4.8 million low interest loan fund called the “Alaska Capstone Avionics Revolving Loan Fund.”**
**Under the Loan the State would provide funding in July 2008 for:**
- Approximately 400 loans the first year
- An additional 60 loans each year for a total of four years, which is based on cash flow from loan repayments and fund earnings.
**Based on the estimate above, approximately 640 aircraft could be equipped if operators take advantage of the loan program.**

**May 3, 2008, Ceremonial signing of SB No. 249 at Alaska State Aviation Trade Show**

**Notes:**
Jere will talk to the efforts of the AIC to obtain funding for the SEIP along with the information on this slide.  We can move the order of this slide, but my thinking was that we should talk about all the activities from the FAA infrastructure perspective and then talk about the efforts on the FAA’s part to support avionics funding.

## Juneau, Alaska Wide Area Multilateration (WAM)

**Background**
- On June 29, 2007 the Federal Aviation Administration, Surveillance and Broadcast Service Program Office assigned a contractual task to Sensis Corporation for site surveys of a multilateration system in Juneau, Alaska.  This system will cover the Juneau terminal area, to include departure and arrival corridors and all associated fixes. The system is designed to alleviate congestion and delays due to weather and the lack of surveillance into Juneau and several surrounding airports.
**Status**
- Since task assignment, the Siting Analysis and Site Engineering Surveys have been completed.
- The System Design Review was completed 12/07
- Two additional ground stations, added to enhance system coverage, will be completed and added into the system by 10/09
