Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Agency is developing the aviation weather system, as part of the National Airspace System, to satisfy the common requirements of civil and military aviation for operational weather support. Elements of the design have been and are continuing to be coordinated with the Department of Defense and the Department of Commerce. This report is a detailed summary of an aviation weather system designed to support the goals of the National Airspace System. Due consideration has been given to the economic and political constraints imposed by the system's environment, the benefits accruing from a common system for all users, and the necessity for implementing system improvements in a practical, orderly manner. The service to be provided to the system users, Air Traffic Control, pilots, and military and private flight operations, is described. The system design, concepts and requirements are stated and the overall operation outlined. Then the system is divided into four subsystems - Observing, Processing, Presenting, and Communications - for detailed consideration of the elements making up the aviation weather system. (Author).

This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capacity of the National Airspace System is being stressed due to the limits of current technologies. Because of this, the FAA and NASA are working to develop new technologies to increase the system's capacity which enhancing safety. Adverse weather has been determined to be a major factor in aircraft accidents and fatalities and the FAA and NASA have developed programs to improve aviation weather information technologies and communications for system users The Aviation Weather Information Element of the Weather Accident Prevention Project of NASA's Aviation Safety Program is currently working to develop these technologies in coordination with the FAA and industry. This paper sets forth a theoretical approach to implement these new technologies while addressing the National Airspace System (NAS) as an evolving system with Weather Information as one of its subSystems. With this approach in place, system users will be able to acquire the type of weather information that is needed based upon the type of decision-making situation and condition that is encountered. The theoretical approach addressed in this paper takes the form of a model for weather information implementation. This model addresses the use of weather information in three decision-making situations, based upon the system user's operational perspective. The model also addresses two decision-making conditions, which are based upon the need for collaboration due to the level of support offered by the weather information provided by each new product or technology. The model is proposed for use in weather information implementation in order to provide a systems approach to the NAS. Enhancements to the NAS collaborative decision-making capabilities are also suggested.McAdaragh, Raymon M.Langley Research CenterNATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM; WEATHER; ACCIDENT PREVENTION; AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS; FLIGHT SAFETY; AIRCRAFT SAFETY; AUGMENTATION; DECISION MAKING; FLIGHT CONDITIONS; INFORMATION SYSTEMS

This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Airway Transportation System Specialists ATSS) maintain and certify the equipment in the National Airspace System (NAS).In fiscal year 2012, Technical Operations had a budget of $1.7B. Thus, Technical Operations includes approximately 19 percent of the total FAA employees and less than 12 percent of the $15.9 billion total FAA budget. Technical Operations comprises ATSS workers at five different types of Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities: (1) Air Route Traffic Control Centers, also known as En Route Centers, track aircraft once they travel beyond the terminal airspace and reach cruising altitude; they include Service Operations Centers that coordinate work and monitor equipment. (2) Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities control air traffic as aircraft ascend from and descend to airports, generally covering a radius of about 40 miles around the primary airport; a TRACON facility also includes a Service Operations Center. (3) Core Airports, also called Operational Evolution Partnership airports, are the nation's busiest airports. (4) The General National Airspace System (GNAS) includes the facilities located outside the larger airport locations, including rural airports and equipment not based at any airport. (5) Operations Control Centers are the facilities that coordinate maintenance work and monitor equipment for a Service Area in the United States. At each facility, the ATSS execute both tasks that are scheduled and predictable and tasks that are stochastic and unpredictable in. These tasks are common across the five ATSS disciplines: (1) Communications, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers and pilots to be in contact throughout the flight; (2) Surveillance and Radar, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to see the specific locations of all the aircraft in the airspace they are monitoring; (3) Automation, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to track each aircraft's current and future position, speed, and altitude; (4) Navigation, maintaining the systems that allow pilots to take off, maintain their course, approach, and land their aircraft; and (5) Environmental, maintaining the power, lighting, and heating/air conditioning systems at the ATC facilities. Because the NAS needs to be available and reliable all the time, each of the different equipment systems includes redundancy so an outage can be fixed without disrupting the NAS. Assessment of Staffing Needs of Systems Specialists in Aviation reviews the available information on: (A) the duties of employees in job series 2101 (Airways Transportation Systems Specialist) in the Technical Operations service unit; (B) the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union of the AFL-CIO; (C) the present-day staffing models employed by the FAA; (D) any materials already produced by the FAA including a recent gap analysis on staffing requirements; (E) current research on best staffing models for safety; and (F) non-US staffing standards for employees in similar roles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each time we see grim pictures of aircraft wreckage on a rain-drenched crash site, or scenes of tired holiday travelers stranded in snow-covered airports, we are reminded of the harsh impact that weather can have on the flying public. This book examines issues that affect the provision of national aviation weather services and related research and technology development efforts. It also discusses fragmentation of responsibilities and resources, which leads to a less-than-optimal use of available weather information and examines alternatives for responding to this situation. In particular, it develops an approach whereby the federal government could provide stronger leadership to improve cooperation and coordination among aviation weather providers and users.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial phases of a quasi-real-time test of the use of computer programs employing modern weather techniques, reported here, examined their performance under operational conditions. Criteria were: estimates of feasibility, meteorological accuracy, and timeliness. Analyses and forecasts were prepared from live data. The results were not transmitted to aviation users. Two meteorological techniques were tested; (a) a statistical method for predicting ceiling and visibility up to seven hours, and (b) an analysis method based on elements reported from ground stations, e.g., ceiling, visibility, pressure, temperature, dew point, wind speed, and precipitation. The implementation of modern weather techniques is feasible. Many problems were met, none were insurmountable. Meteorological accuracy of the techniques could deteriorate significantly due to missing and/or erroneous data. Standardization and improvement of codes and communications discipline would help. Forecasts and analyses were ready for communications by 30 minutes after observation time. Significant improvement in timeliness can be achieved by utilizing real-time data channels, minimizing the use of magnetic tape in data processing, and rewriting new operational computer programs in lieu of re-programming developmental programs.
