description: Presentation intended for the 22nd Integrated Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Hybrid (ICNS) Conference 2022 and RTCA SC-228. The presentation outline is the following: Encounter models overview Validation of previously trained model Current design philosophy leveraging FAA NASR subscription Landing procedures analysis Questions For primary discussion at ICNS 2022, the presentation overviews an analysis of terminal radar area tracks near two different final approach fixes (FAFs). FAFs for the BOS and EWR RWY 4R instrument approach procedures (IAPs) have the same distance to runway, crossing altitude, and magnetic azimuth of runway’s heading. These similarities make MILTT and COWWE an ideal comparison to assess if Class B airport operations are generalizable. The objectives for this analysis were: Assess if kinematic distributions were dependent on FAF or airports Assess if observed track behavior aligns with IAP FAF guidance Assess if there are tracks near FAF that are not landing per a IAP
