FAA & USAF Partnership • FAA Military Partnerships – AFFSA Det 1 active duty collocated – USAFR unit assigned • Purpose is to receive training and share assets for Military Contingencies – Iraq – Afghanistan – Military Exercises ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 6

AVN Function Realignment • Effective October 2010 • Created Mission Support Services (AJV-0) • Primary Group involving Tech Ops is now “Aeronautical Products” (AJV-3); Known to us a “NFPO” or “AVN-100” – NOTAMS – Procedure cancelation – Alternate missed Procedures ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 7

AVN Function Realignment • AVN (AJW-3); Flight Inspection, Remains in Tech Ops • IFP Development, Production and Publication now resides in MSS (AJV-0) – Aeronav Products (AJV-3) – The AIRNAV database now in Aeronautical Information Managament (AJV-2) – Flight Procedure Offices (FPO), now at Operational support Groups in the Service Areas ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 8

Purpose of Flight Inspection • Evaluate signal in space – correlate ground measurements to airborne reference • Evaluate obstacles within flight path area • Evaluate flight procedures for pilot workload, flyability and infrastructure support ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 9

Types of Flight Inspection Ø Commissioning Q New Installations optimally configured Q New Instrument Procedures Ø Periodic Q Facilities and Obstacle Assessments Ø Specials Q Post Accident Q Facility Maintenance Q User Complaints (e. g. , Wind Turbines) Q Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Q Combat/Contingency/Shipboard TACAN Ø Next. Gen Implementation Q ADS-B, RNP, LPV/LP WAAS, LAAS, ASDE-X ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 10

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) • Aircraft are equipped with a Spectrum Analyzer and Direction Finder to identify RFI • AVN works closely with the Spectrum Office to determine whether a Flight Check can help in finding RFI sources • Many successful RFI missions have been flown since the Program was Initiated ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 11

Nextgen Initiatives • ADS-B Coverage • Wide Area Multi. Lat (WAM) • LAAS/GBAS • ASDE-X • PBN Procedures (RNP; LPV; LNAV; VNAV) ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 12

Scheduling Process • Specials generate itinerary – Congressional/ High Air Traffic Impact – Return to service – Provide new service • Periodic inspections are the filler (dates not a factor) • Maximize on-facility/minimize enroute ATO – Technical Operations - Aviation System Standards November 21, 2011 Federal Aviation Administration 13
