Background 

The FAA has committed to 

implementing performance-based 

airspace operations. Given this 

commitment, there are significant issues 

with industry dynamics; new 

technologies; new aircraft types/

capabilities and configurations and 

current operations; airspace use; 

airports; infrastructure; economics; and 

the environment. These complex issues 

mandate a comprehensive review and 

possible revision of existing regulatory 

criteria and guidance materials. Where 

existing criteria and guidance is 

inadequate or nonexistent, there will be 

the requirement to develop and 

implement new regulatory criteria and 

the guidance material needed by all 

stakeholders. The PARC provides a 

forum for the U.S. aviation community 

to discuss, prioritize, and resolve issues, 

provide direction for U.S. flight 

operations criteria, and produce U.S. 

consensus positions for global 

harmonization. The FAA Administrator 

issued the PARC charter on February 19, 

2004. The PARC charter expires 

February 19, 2006, unless sooner 

terminated or extended by the 

Administrator.

Persons who plan to attend the 

meeting should be aware of the 

following procedures set up for this
