The VOR minimum operational network and NextGen distance measuring equipment (DME) will provide navigation resiliency. [61] The NAS needs at least 126 new DME stations for maximum benefits, and the FAA will replace 50 stations with limited performance to support en route flights across the nation and terminal traffic at 62 busy locations.
The United States is decommissioning approximately half of its VOR stations and other legacy navigation aids as part of a move to performance-based navigation, while still retaining a "Minimum Operational Network" of VOR stations as a backup to GPS. [11] In 2015, the UK planned to reduce the number of stations from 44 to 19 by 2020. [8]
Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards (MASPS) Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) Assuring equipment will perform its intended functions RTCA is not an agency of the United States government but works with regulators around the globe to develop standards that may be referenced in their regulatory framework.
DO-219 is a communications standard published by RTCA, Incorporated.It contains Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for aircraft equipment required for Air Traffic Control (ATC) Two-Way Data Link Communications (TWDL) services.
The FAA has stopped using the term LAAS and has transitioned to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) terminology of ground-based augmentation system (GBAS). [1] While the FAA has indefinitely delayed plans for federal GBAS acquisition, the system can be purchased by airports and installed as a Non-Federal navigation aid.
It contains minimum aviation system performance standards (MASPS) for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). These standards specify operational characteristics that should be useful to designers, manufacturers, installers, service providers and users of an ADS-B system intended for operational use on an international basis.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in March agreed to the request of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines to temporarily return up to 10% of slots and flights at New York-area airports and ...
ICAO performance-based navigation (PBN) specifies that aircraft required navigation performance (RNP) and area navigation (RNAV) systems performance requirements be defined in terms of accuracy, integrity, availability, continuity, and functionality required for the proposed operations in the context of a particular airspace, when supported by the appropriate navigation infrastructure.
