AJV - 14 on June 1, 2015 for a change to FAA Order JO 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, resulted in an approved Document Change Prop osal (DCP) providing new standards for "simultaneous independent approaches to widely - spaced parallel runways without final monitors." o This change to the NAS leverages work done by Flight Technologies & Procedures Division (AFS - 400), Technology Developme nt & Prototyping Division (ANG - C5), Air Traffic Procedures (AJV - 8), and AJV - 142 and an approved Air Traffic Control (ATC) waiver at Denver International Airport. o It is also the first national standard change based on the EoR concept, originally proposed by the Performance Based Aviation Operations Rulemaking Committee (PARC) in 2012. The new national standard will be effective on May 26, 2016 (Change 1 to FAA JO 7110.65W), a full year prior to the NAC Congressional PBN commitment to, "Develop an EoR widel y - spaced operation national standard," by the second qu arter of calendar year 2017. · NextGen Integration Workgroup (NIWG) - NextGen priorities have 3 - year rolling plan - t he FAA will not make any commitments and identify specific milestones and dates. o S cope – there are 4 focus areas, Multiple Runway ops, PBN, DataComm and Surface ops. They are going to examine additional locations for existing priorities and seek industry milestones on equipage. They want to ensure full transparency and collaboration. 1 assumption from 2014 is no broad base d upgrades in equipage. Next: February 26 and June 17 NAC meetings with a goal of a final rolling plan in October. The NAC approves the first two and see the final report to present to the hill in October. § Expectations from industry are to train pilots and post analysis of benefits. PBN – 2018 - 2019 planning includes TBFM/TSAS, PBNRS, RNP track to fix and the PBN strategy. o DataComm – Industry commitments are that airlines will equip 1900 aircraft by the 4 t h quarter 2019. There are 1418 DataComm equipped aircraft in the NAS as of 1/6 with 598 from the DataComm equipage initiative. o Surface – 2017 commitments include CLT Airspace Technology Demonstration (ATD2) demos funded by NASA is on track for end of Q4 and electronic flight data capability is required for this. This is for integrated arrival/departure/sur face (IADS) traffic management. Goals include predictability, efficiency and throughput of surface movemen t with scheduling technologies. o Other commit ments are use of 1 NM stagger separation 7110.308 operations (SFO), Use of reduced stagger separation for dependent operations to runways spaced greater than 4300', Simultaneous independent parallel operations using offset (DTW, MSP, PDX), Triple simultane ous independent parallel operations (ATL, IAD) and Wake Recat. o Decision Support Systems (DSS) – Timed Based Flow Management (TBFM) initially developed in the early 1990s via a partne rship between NASA and the FAA. Focused on airports experiencing regu lar demand/capacity imbalances.
