Overview
Safe. Route – Product Goals Meet the Operators’ Needs • • Allow Operational Efficiencies to be gained Improve Safety – reduce runway incursions Meet Capacity Demands for 2015 • Implement first Product Release into the market by 2008 Safe. Route will Improve Operational Efficiencies by • • • Reducing Fuel Consumption Reducing Arrival Time Improving Airport Capacity Reducing Noise Reducing CO 2 Emissions Safe. Route will Improve Safety by • • Providing Surface Situational Awareness Reducing the Threat of Runway Incursions Safe. Route will be Cost Effective • • Easy to Implement on the Aircraft Use existing aircraft equipment as much as possible
Safe. Route – Overview Safe. Route is a portfolio of ADS-B “In” Software Solutions that Utilize ADS-B “Out” and TIS-B Technology for In-Cockpit Operational Functions • These In-Cockpit Functions Improve Operational Efficiencies and Safety • Efficiency Improvements: § M&S (Merging & Spacing) Certified July 2007 – Eliminates Need for Radar Vectors in Terminal Area by Providing Flight Deck Spacing Command for Efficient Aircraft Intervals § CDAs (Continuous Descent Arrivals) Certified July 2007 – Eliminate the Need for Stair Step Descents – Reduce Pilot Throttle Commands § CAVS (CDTI Assisted Visual Separation) Certified July 2007 – Extends Visual Separation Operations In Reduced Visibility § ITP (In-Trail Procedures) To Be Certified July 2009 – Improves Climb Requests When Operating In Oceanic Track Systems For Optimum Flight Profile as Aircraft Become Lighter • Safety Improvements: § SAMM I (Surface Area Movement Management) Certified July 2007 – Addresses Runway Incursions by Providing Enhanced Surface Situational Awareness of Own Ship Relative to Other ADS-B equipped On-Ground Aircraft & Vehicles UPS received Operational Approval for Safe. Route from the FAA on December 28 th, 2007
