## Aircraft Performance

- Aircraft performance at high altitude is greatly affected by two factors:
- 1. Density Altitude
- 2. Aircraft Weight

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Slide 9

## Maximum Safe Operating Altitude

- For flight operations in close proximity to precipitous terrain, the maximum safe operating altitude is that altitude at which the aircraft can achieve at least 300-fpm rate of climb

## Remember:

- As density altitude increases, indicated airspeeds for best _angle_ of climb and best _rate_ of climb change dramatically

## Slide 12

## Slide 13

## Slide 14

## Remember:

- Stall speed increases with bank angle and aircraft weight

## Profiles in NOAA LeadershipInterviews conducted byLeadership Competencies Development Program (LCDP - IV)( The Navigators)

- There are times when you have to use an “autocratic” leadership style.  However, it is important to know not to make it a norm. To do a good job at developing leaders, you should keep mentors from becoming “figure heads”.  The role of mentoring should be incorporated into job performance measures.
- Finally, it is important to include or keep the “third tier” involved.  What I mean by this is upper level managers or mentors should invite lower lever personnel to attend meetings where they would have the opportunity to observe and learn leadership from a first hand observation.  Additionally, it is important to have “cross-training”, or people who manage various high-level or sophisticated instruments include or involve lower level instrument managers so they can gain the necessary experience to handle those instruments.

- I have been introduced to the formal term of “servant leadership.”  This captures my own leadership philosophy, i.e.,   a true leader is at the peak of the pyramid and the pyramid is inverted,  thus the leader is there to serve all who work for them.  This means that all those “buck stops here,” difficult decisions are made based on what is best for the people I serve, the science we are conducting, and the organization for which we work.   About 10 years ago I figured out that I don’t need to jump in and make something happen every time an issue comes up.  There is often a real elegance in letting problems and the people involved work things out for themselves.  This is tough when I think I can help, however, sometimes the best help I can offer is to let people find solutions on their own, to be gently supportive and let them go.

**Issues often delaying environmentals (and projects)**
- Poorly defined or presented Purpose and Need
- Forecasts not within 10% of TAF
- Lack of 500 operations by critical/design aircraft
- No application of design standards (e.g. the 5,000-foot rule for biz jets)

## Getting To Yes (Continued)

**Things That Make a Project Flow Quickly**
- A well-developed State System Plan that provides adequate justification for projects.
- An up-to-date Master Plan that includes FAA approvable forecasts.
- A well-developed Airport Development Plan justifying a project based on design standards.
- Letters from current or prospective tenants justifying the project through 500 annual operations of a critical aircraft.

- Recluster jets, recalculate Met WRT lepton
- Identify isolated track candidates
- Correct MET for isolated track candidates

- Require MET>25
- Reject events with MET co-linear with jets
- Select highest momentum isolated track
- Reject events with MET parallel or anti-parallel to track
- If track-lepton pair mass is in Z region, require MET>40

## “Tight-Tight” Analysis

**This analysis is a strict subset of the lepton+track  analysis.**
- Motivation: by applying tight lepton requirements on the loose lepton leg, we have a smaller acceptance for taus and relatively little background from fakes
- demonstrates the robustness of the analysis with respect to changes in lepton ID and signal and background composition.
- Baseline: S/B ~ 1.6
- With tight requirements: S/B ~ 3.0
- Selection:
- apply tight requirements on the loose lepton leg.

## Disability Data Efforts in Central America

- Washington Group on Disability Statistics
- Bangkok, Thailand
- September 30, 2004
- Daniel Mont
- The World Bank

## Disability Data in Latin America

- Region wide effort to improve and standardize disability data in LA
- Coordinated by MECOVI - “Programa para el Mejoramiento de las Encuestas y la Medición de Condiciones de Vida”, the Spanish translation for the Program for Improvement of the Surveys of Living Conditions
- In Southern Cone, Andes, Central America, and the Caribbean

## What is the MECOVI Program?

- Regional program of technical assistance for capacity building to improve the household surveys to measure living conditions and poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean
- Jointly launched in 1996 by IDB, World Bank and UN-ECLAC
- Subsequently supported by other donors: UNDP, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, US, Japan, Soros Foundation, etc.

## Central America

- Individual disability data assessments undertaken by NSOs
- Reported at meeting in Managua in August
- Mostly low rates of disability
- Mainly questions like “do you have a disability?”
- Exception is new disability survey released by Nicaragua which had prevalence on questions more based on functions – roughly 11 percent
- Presentation about Washington Group

## Next Steps

- Commission detailed analysis of each country’s data set(s)
- Commission paper analyzing reasons behind differences
- To what extent a result of methodological differences?
- To what extent a result of socio-demographic differences ?
- Come up with recommendations for standardizing data collection

## What role for Washington Group?

- Some Central American countries plan on moving ahead with disability surveys and are interested in being part of pre-test
- Methodological papers and sample questions could inform cross-regional study
- Other sub-regions of LA following similar plans
