1 A SYSTEM APPROACH Is the Solution Steve Vail

2 2 EVERYONES! JFK May 4, 2009 WHOSE FAULT IS THIS?

3 Today s State Non-Centric Ops EWR COA Ramp Tower Port Ramp Tower 3 separate functions controlling push back FedEx Ramp Control 3

4 Today s State Non-Centric Ops ATL Ramp Tower Delta Ramp Tower TBI Ramp Tower TBI Delta has Flt Coor. in all three locations 4

5 The Demarcation Zones of Information 5

6 Other Examples of Uncoordinated Actions De-ice Push backs relative to ATM Overhead stream sequencing No knowledge of business case flights Is the outbound aircraft with an EDCT really in that city? Penalty box usage Airport construction Airport coordinated push backs Really Almost Ready To Depart 6

7 One Net Centric Airport Operation 7

8 Needed Involvement ATCT s ARTCC s Airport Auth. ATCSCC Ramp Twr Dispatch Pilot Dept. Station 8

9 Cooperative Partners Needed for System Management AGFS 9

10 Rwy 18R on west end Rwy 27 on east end Initial Collaborative Departure Mgt. Parking Rwy 27 park east and 18R park west Scheduling Rwy27 traffic limited Schedule built on departure Rwy to spread demand Ramp Tower Controls pushes to control number at runway Assumes control of taxiway (airport NOTAMs non-movement) 10

11 Runway 9-27 Reconstruction March 1 to December 1, 2009 FedEx Hub V4 V Runway 9-27 V3 Removed V V2 V1 N C S B y A2 A A1 MEM Success Story Meeting this challenge involved a continuation of Industry Leading Cooperation Between MEM ATCT, ZME, MSCAA and FedEx With valuable assistance by ATCSCC (ZKC,ZFW,ZHU,ZTL,ZID) 11

12 Inputs to Effective Collaborative Command & Control Where is the airplane? What is it s state/intention? When will it be where it s going? Elem Mode-S ADS-B De-Ice Status ASDE-X Gate Manager Enhanced Mode-S ASDI SMA Aircraft Mx TFM (EDCT s) TMA STARS Scratch pad Dept Readiness ASDE-3 Various GPS ACARS OOOI 12

13 Dynamic Runway Balancing Static Scheduling doesn t meet the need Predictive Tools needed Ramp Tower Analysis of Dynamic Events Drive Runway Selection Creates no airborne conflict 13

14 March 18 No action 3:35AM Departure Queue for L R August 1 Action on prediction 14

15 March 18 No action 3:40AM Departure Queue for L R August 1 Action on prediction 15

16 March 18 No action 4:00AM Departure Queue for L R August 1 Action on prediction 16

17 March 18 No action 4:15AM Departure Queue for L R August 1 Action on prediction 17

18 March 18 No action 4:35AM Departure Queue for L R August 1 Action on prediction 18

19 Challenge: Surface Traffic Management is an Art Process is more important than automation Surface Management System Displays of same information by all users TMA Scratch Pad ASR ASDE-X User intent Joint FAA/user training Airport wide cooperation - No blame atmosphere Movement vs Non-Movement discussion Leadership BEST DATA, BEST SERVED!!!!!! 19

20 THANK YOU for helping to ensure this is NOT the future! 20

21 MEM Taxi-out Analysis Result of Situational Awareness Think of the Environmental Impacts! Results: During the surveillance outage the North flow average taxi-out was at least 1min 20 sec longer in VMC and at least 4 min 20 sec longer in IMC. Also, the percent of flights with taxi-out greater than 40 minutes at least doubled during the outage Mean Taxiout Time (min), North Flow N = IMC VMC 2558 Date Before outage 9/8-10/ During outage 10/27-11/ After outage 1/6-2/ % fllights with >40 min taxiout, North Flow IA conditions VA conditions Date Before outage 9/8-10/ During outage 10/27-11/ After outage 1/6-2/ Airport Conditions Airport Conditions 21

22 TOD An Uncoordinated Action In-range/Gate Assignment ETA and ops info Gate and GP Airline Ops No Coordination Ramp Tower ATC Terminal Area Rwy/Apch assignment 22

23 An Uncoordinated Action In-range/Gate Assignment Spacing decisions Speed control Fix balancing & metering Vectors to approach Airline Ops No Coordination Ramp Tower ATC Terminal Area Rwy/Apch assignment No Coordination 23
