WAAS Current GEO Performance • Both WAAS GEOs (CRW and CRE) Currently Operating Nominally – CRW Failure Expected by end of July 2010 – Daily Monitoring of CRW Performance shows no degradation of service at present • Preparing for single GEO (CRE) Coverage – Yearly maintenance of CRE Uplink stations completed early – GEO Uplink station receiver updated with improved firmware APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 6
Current WAAS Performance APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 7
Expected Impacts with CRW Failure • Once CRW service is discontinued, WAAS service over CONUS and most of Alaska will be provided by a single GEO – WAAS Users Will Experience Outages During GEO Uplink Subsystem (GUS) Switchovers • Temporary Loss of Service Approximately 5 Minutes Per Event • Typically Occurs 4 – 5 Times Per Month • In NW Alaska there will be no WAAS service since the remaining GEO (CRE) does not provide service to NW Alaska – Users Will Still Have LNAV Service with GPS RAIM – En route / Terminal Reverts to RAIM • NW Alaska and the Western Edge of NAS in North Pacific APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 8

Other Impacts of CRW Failure • WAAS Program is accelerating implementation of a third GEO satellite (Gap-Filler) – Originally planned for operational use by Dec 2010 – Accelerated Schedule projected to have GEO operational by Oct 2010 but will Increase Program costs by approximately 1. 5 M – Addition of Gap-Filler GEO provides only limited coverage over Southeast Alaska • With a Single GEO (CRE) Operating WAAS performance more vulnerable to weak GPS constellation – Following example shows impact of a CRE GUS switchover at time when Critical GPS satellite (PRN 2) is unuseable – When a GUS Switchover occurs it takes upward of 6 hours before GEO can be used for ranging APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 11

Mitigation Activity Status • WAAS Program is accelerating acquisition of a Ranging capable GEO – Program office had completed a market survey for GEO satellites just prior to CRW failure – Efforts underway to establish a procurement vehicle for new GEO(s) – FAA is awaiting replacement solution from loss of CRW from GEO satellite provider (Lockheed Martin) • Former WAAS GEO (POR) has been identified as mitigation for loss of Service in Alaska – Program Office has started planning efforts for inclusion of this satellite back into WAAS – Testing being conducted to evaluate how to operate POR in the current WAAS configuration APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 14
Expected Coverage • Current Coverage – CRW (Intelsat) at 133° W – CRE (Telesat) at 107. 3° W • Expected Coverage with Third WAAS GEO Operational October 2010 – AMR (Inmarsat) at 98° W • Expected Coverage with POR – POR (Inmarsat at 178° E APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 15

Benefit updates for GBAS CAT II/III - FAA Acquisition • • • CAT IIIa/b Precision Approach: supports the strategy to evolve towards a performance-based NAS by using a satellite based navigation system and onboard technologies. Precision Approach Access: GBAS provides precision approach capability where siting constraints have prevented ILS from being implemented or CAT III implementation is cost prohibitive. Removal of ILS Critical Areas: GBAS is not limited by the operational restrictions due to ILS critical areas and can reduce ground movement delays. Wake Turbulence: GBAS can provide multiple approach procedures on a single runway with different glide slope angles reduction in separation by mitigating wake turbulence. Closely Spaced Parallel Operations: GBAS has the capability of providing selectable glide paths, as well as displaced thresholds and providing the most accurate navigation to support all advancements in CSPO independent operations. APEC GIT/14 23 June 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 51
Benefit updates for GBAS CAT II/III - FAA Acquisition • DCPS: GBAS provides differentially corrected positioning services within the terminal area to enable GBAS equipped users to fly complex RNAV/RNP procedures with higher availability. • Surface Navigation: In conjunction with ADS-B equipment, early provision of GBAS PNT services may enable positioning service for surface movement, navigation, and virtual tower operations. • RNAV/RNP: GBAS systems will enable early adoption of the navigation accuracy required in high density airspace for most midterm and advanced concepts in the terminal environment. • User Transition: GBAS CAT I also provides an early opportunity for operational familiarity with the procedures prior to the availability of GBAS Cat II/III systems.
