1. Wake Vortex Tiger Team Rocky Stone Sept. 18, 2014

2. Wake Vortex Tiger Team How do we move standards forward for wake vortex and Air Traffic Management applications?

3. Weather data from aircraft • There is a long history of how weather data is data linked from aircraft • Mostly this is done via the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) • Limited use for “real-time” applications due to latency and limitations on the distribution of the data • If we added the information to ADS-B, it would become ubiquitous and available to all who receive ADS-B data • If on another link, would require ADS-B position data to either be replicated or correlated on the other link

4. Tiger Team kick-off meeting agenda • Background presentations • ICAO position and Way Forward, Jeff Crouch, Boeing, and Claude Lelaie, Airbus • Review of Wake Turbulence Solution Concepts (RTCA DO-339), Ed Johnson, NASA • SAE Wake Vortex Activities, Mikhail Kanevsky, IANS • IANS vision on WV standardization roadmap, Mikhail Kanevsky, IANS • Presentation from Paul Robinson, ATR • Presentation from David Powell, Professor Emeritus from Stanford • Turbulence R&D, Forecasting, nowcasting and measurements, Larry Cornman, National Center for Atmospheric Research

5. Tiger Team Charter • Author a “white paper” on suggested future standards activities for wake vortex, Air Traffic Management, and weather applications • Work outside the structure of the Federal Advisory Committee Act • Work sponsored by RTCA, but not sanctioned by the RTCA Program Management Committee (PMC) • Work plan • Primarily work via email and telcons/webex • Meet 2 or 3 times in one day plenary sessions • Gain consensus on a white paper with suggested standards activities and deliver the white paper to the FAA and RTCA PMC by the end of 2014

6. Tiger Team Findings and Recommendations

7. Next Steps • Face-to-face meeting at RTCA, Oct. 7-8 • Mature white paper • Mature findings and recommendations • Define areas of agreement and disagreement • Complete white paper by the end of this year
