Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration conducted a year long operational confirmation of the Airport Radar Service Area (ARSA), a new concept in terminal airspace design and services recommended by NAR Task Group 1-2.2, in an attempt to standardize the designation of controlled airspace services, rules, and procedures within which terminal radar traffic control is provided. The objective of the operational confirmation was to assess the acceptibility of the ARSA concept at two lead sites, Port Columbus International Airport, Columbus, Ohio, and Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, Austin, Texas. This report presents the operational confirmation analysis of ARSA to determine its acceptance by users. Data collection and analysis effort was geared towards two specific types: (1) opinion survey of local pilots, controller/staff, and supervisor/management at each of the facilities and (2) lead site traffic activity profiles. Tables, runway diagrams and graphs depict information. Based on the analysis results, and the ARSA operational confirmation criteria, it is concluded that ARSA has been confirmed at Columbus, Ohio and Austin, Texas. Key words: ARSA, Airport Radar Service Area, National Airspace Review, Operational Confirmation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Airport Radar Services Area (ARSA) is a new concept in thermal airspace design that has been proposed as a replacement for the Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) which has been installed at 137 locations in the U.S. The primary difference between them is that pilots can enter the TRSA without communicating with Air Traffic Control (ATC), while in the ARSA ATC service is mandatory. This report contains an analysis of data gathered both before and after the implementation of the ARSA at two lead sites. The analysis concludes that the ARSA produces a significant reduction in a collision risk at a moderate increase in controller workload with no significant impact on ATC service to the pilots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of the experiment was to determine the effect of regularization of approach traffic in time, place, and sequence upon the safety and efficiency of a terminal system. Enroute flow-control facilities were simulated by arrivals at the terminal boundary. The terminal system was manned by a two-man pattern-feeder control team. Six pairs of experienced USAF controllers participated. The control zone included two landing fields and each controller handled aircraft destined for each of these fields. Data were recorded for a total of 2880 movements of mixed types. The results and conclusions of the experiment are as follows: 1. Traffic input regularization in time, place, and sequence relative to the controller who accepted the traffic had an insignificant effect on terminal system performance. 2. Human controllers can provide the flexibility necessary to accommodate widely varying input entropy."--Abstract.

Download or read book New Terminal Radar Approach Control in Tower Cab TRACAB Concept for Love Field Dallas Texas written by Donald Bottomley and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was accomplished in response to a request from Air Traffic Service (AAT-100), for development of a mockup to evaluate a centrally positioned terminal radar approach control in a tower cab (TRACAB) console. Presently, the Local Control position at Love Field, Dallas, Texas, generally faces both southeast runways, with all the attendant instrumentation in front of the controller. However, when conditions dictate a northwest operation, the Local Controller must turn away to see and sequence his traffic. The work effort addressed the relocation of operational positions from their usual peripheral sites in the tower cab to a unique four-winged central console with each wing having its own instrumentation. This console housed two Local Control and two Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) positions on one side of the console and a Ground Control position on the opposite side with identical instrumentation. These five positions were endowed with a 'flip/flop' capability as traffic dictated. The other two positions, Clearance Delivery/Flight Data and Watch Supervisor, remained constant at each end of the console, regardless of traffic flow. While the four-winged central console solved the Local Controller's instrumentation availability, it reflected two problems. Limited room on the console caused overcrowding and the resultant overheating of the operational equipment. Local Control perambulation was restricted due to the two ASR controllers and tower peripheral boundaries. Since few airports require the 'flip/flop' design necessary by a tower located between dual runways, it was concluded that no further evaluation of this console concept would be made.

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.
