Takeoff And Landing Performance Assessment TALPA 101 Presented

Takeoff And Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) 101 Presented to: SWIFT Conference By: Chuck Enders, AFS-220 Date: 17 September 2015 Federal Aviation Administration

TALPA 101 ØThe Beginning ØBackground ØConcepts ØRecommendations ØActions already in effect ØImplementation steps by LOBs ØRCAM integration ØFuture Requirements Federal Aviation Administration 2

TALPA Beginning • Excursion at Midway Dec 2005 • What is TALPA – Landing distance assessment at time of arrival – Accounting for contaminated runways at the time of takeoff – Requirement needed to support those goals • FAA formed Aviation Rulemaking Committee – Airplane Manufacturers – Regulatory Authorities – Other Organizations - Airplane Operators - Airport Operators • Recommendations provided to FAA in 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 3

Background TALPA ARC First Meeting – March 2008 Ø Separate workgroups established to address: Ø Airports • Part 121 Aircraft Operations • Part 91 -K/125/135 Aircraft Operations • Part 23/25 Aircraft Type Certification • Ø Final recommendations provided on July 2009 Ø ARC Charter expired October 2009 Ø Rulemaking project suspended Sept. 2010 Numerous rulemaking projects mandated by Congress • Projected rulemaking back-log out to 8+ years • Federal Aviation Administration 4

Background TALPA ARC Participants Airplane Operators Regulatory Authorities FAA (Airports, Flight Standards, Certification, NOTAMS, Rulemaking, Legal) Transport Canada Brazilian Certification Authority EASA (Limited Participation) Other Organizations Air Transport Association Airline Pilots Association Airports Council International Allied Pilots Association National Air Carrier Association National Business Aviation Association National Transportation Safety Board Neubert Aero Corporation Regional Airline Association Southwest Airlines Pilot Association Allied Pilots Association Part 121 Airplane Operators ABX Air Alaska American Eagle American Continental Delta Express Jet Federal Express Northwest Pinnacle Southwest United UPS US Airways Part 91 -K/125/135 Alpha Flying, Inc Bombardier Flexjet Chantilly Air Flight Works Jet Solutions Conoco Phillips Alaska Net Jets Pogo Jet, Inc Airports Cherry Capital Chicago Airport System Chicago O’Hare Grand Rapids Regional Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport System Airplane Manufacturers Airbus Boeing Bombardier Cessna Eclipse Embraer Gulfstream Hawker Federal Aviation Administration 5

TALPA Concepts are to Standardize ØMethods for assessing runway conditions ØReporting of braking action by pilots ØReporting of runway conditions through airport operators, the NOTAM system, and ATC agencies ØAirplane performance data ØBefore landing performance assessments ØTerms used in runway condition reports and performance data Federal Aviation Administration 6

TALPA ARC Recommendations Ø ARC Advised Changing Regulations – Changes to rules for air transport, air charter, fractional ownership, airworthiness, and airports Ø Cornerstone is Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM) – Science behind it based on limited test data for different runway surface conditions – Ties together runway contaminant descriptions, braking action, and airplane performance data Ø ARC Suggested Conducting a Validation Federal Aviation Administration 7 7

First Validation Winter 2009 -2010 Second Validation Winter 2010 -2011 Federal Aviation Administration 8

TALPA ARC Recommendations Ø June 2011 – TALPA ARC team requested to consider non-rulemaking options Ø December 2011 – Proposed TALPA nonrulemaking implementation plan, team, and charter finalized Ø January 2013 – TALPA non-rulemaking implementation package, (Charter), signed off by all involved lines of business Federal Aviation Administration 9 9

TALPA Actions Already In Effect Ø Published Reportable Contaminant List 7930. 2) (JO – Inconclusive to some in industry – Ongoing effort to provide clarity and process to make additions Ø Expanded NOTAM Manager for filing Field Condition (FICON) NOTAMs – Technology/system on how conditions will be reported Federal Aviation Administration 10 10

TALPA Action Already In Effect Reportable Contaminants Water* (greater than 1/8 inch depth) Frost Slush* Over Ice Wet Ice Water* Over Ice Wet Snow* Over Ice Dry Snow* Over Ice Compacted Snow Water* Over Compacted Snow Wet Snow* Over Compacted Snow Dry Snow* Over Compacted Snow Ash Mud* Rubber Oil Sand Federal Aviation Administration 11

TALPA Action Already In Effect Ø From NOTAM Order JO 7930. 2 • Use the term “DRY” to describe a surface that is neither wet nor contaminated. A FICON NOTAM must not be originated for the sole purpose of reporting a dry runway. A dry surface must be reported only when there is need to report conditions on the remainder of the surface. • Use the term “WET” to describe a surface that is neither dry nor contaminated but has visible dampness, moisture, and/or water less than ⅛ inch in depth. • Reportable Contaminants list illustrated in JO 7930. 2 Federal Aviation Administration 12

Implementation Steps For Airplane Operators Ø AC 121. 195(d)-1 A, Operational Landing Distance for Wet Runways; Transport Category Aircraft Ø Ops Spec 382 Landing Performance Assessment at Time of Arrival for Turbojet Operations Ø Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) Ø Advisory Circular 91 -79 A has been updated with the recommendations from the TALPA rulemaking to include the RCAM Ø Inspector Guidance revised including the penalties for aircraft without manufacturers data Federal Aviation Administration 13

Implementation Steps For Airplane Manufacturers Ø AC-XX: Producing Data for Before Landing Assessments Ø AC-XX: Producing Takeoff Performance Data for Contaminated Runways Federal Aviation Administration 14

Implementation Steps Office of Airports Ø Publish new NOTAMs Advisory Circular – – – Sep 2015 timeframe release and was reviewed by industry Denotes NOTAM Manager as the tool to support the RCAM Will introduce contaminant and definition list/table Synchs with JO 7930. 2 NOTAM Order Next version Spring 2016 will include additional TALPA language and NOTAM input examples Ø Conduct TALPA Safety Case – Scheduled for Sep 2015 – Determine/mitigate any potential hazards to the NAS – All encompassing safety case across multiple LOBs Federal Aviation Administration 15

Implementation Steps Office of Airports Ø NOTAM System modifications – Build and test system additions/changes with contractor – New system will calculate and generate codes based on contaminant information inputs by the airport operator – Demo being ready for Feb-Mar 2016 rollout – May enlist select airports for testing Ø Finalize Winter Operations AC 150/5200 -30 D – – Will explain how to use the RCAM for determining codes Updates remaining basic guidance and procedures Completion tied to NOTAM system additions/changes Synchs language with other LOBs documents Federal Aviation Administration 16
