  1. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental ProcessFamiliarization Program

  2. Introduction Welcome to the Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process Familiarization Program. This Familiarization program is designed to prepare you to use a streamlined aircraft procedure request environmental process, which will be implemented soon.The goal is to standardize and streamline the process in preparation for Nextgen, which will provide new ways for aircraft to operate in the National Airspace System (NAS).

  3. Introduction The content of this program is divided into four main topics, which are covered individually in the following modules: • Familiarization Program Overview • Changes in the Environmental Process • Aircraft Procedure Environmental Prescreening Filter • Review of Filter Results

  4. Basic Environmental Process Unchanged The basic steps of the Environmental Process will not be much different than they are now. There are only a few new procedural and role modifications that you will need to know about, and these relatively minor changes will be covered in modules 2 and 4. The rest will be “old hat,” so after providing quick descriptions of the changes, the focus of the familiarization will shift to the biggest difference in the process…

  5. Supplemental Familiarization Materials The learning objectives for the familiarization will be presented at the beginning of each module to which they apply. In addition to the informational components of the familiarization program, such as this PowerPoint presentation, the following familiarization materials will be provided for use during familiarization and for reference afterwards.

  8. Self-checkedKnowledge Exercises To obtain feedback on how well you remember the information presented in the program, you may volunteer to take a self-checked knowledge exercise upon completion.

  9. Module 2 Changes in the Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process

  10. Introduction This goal of this module is to prepare you to identify the changes that will soon occur in the environmental process to obtain a categorical exclusion (CATEX) or a need for additional environmental review.

  11. Learning Objectives This instructional module will prepare you to identify the: • Information needed for evaluation by the Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter, • Parts of the Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process User Guide that provide additional information related to the environmental process, and • Steps in the aircraft procedure request environmental process at which a proposed procedure could receive a CATEX, be sent for additional environmental review, or returned to the proponent.

  12. Streamlined Environmental Process Benefits The environmental process has been streamlined to enable participants to: • Understand each step in the process as it relates to environmental issues, • Use one environmental process for all proposed procedures, and • Optimize the use of resources in reviewing proposed procedures.

  13. Streamlined Environmental Process Benefits The environmental process: • Is consistent , repeatable, and efficient • Is based on fully defined roles and their corresponding tasks, • Includes environmental concepts in the early planning of changes of airspace and • Manages proposed procedure development changes to ensure that changes outside of the established environmental parameters are returned for additional environmental review.

  14. Who Will Find the Streamlined Process Helpful? The streamlined environmental process was designed to serve the following groups: • Proponents, • Flight-standard-service (AFS) specialists, • Operations-support-group (OSG) flight-procedures-team (FPT) specialists, • OSG environmental specialists, • AeroNav Products, and • Third-party developers.

  15. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process The process-flow diagram below depicts a high-level view of the aircraft procedure request environmental process. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  16. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process The process starts with a proponent’s request to design a new or to update an existing aircraft procedure, and culminates in either the publication or implementation of the procedure by the FAA.

  17. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process The first step in this process involves the completion of an action design, which is prerequisite to the environmental process. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  18. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process The next step is for the proponent to complete an aircraft procedure environmental pre-screening filter. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  19. Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process The result will be one of two outcomes: identification of a possible CATEX or the need for additional environmental review. In both cases, the filter will create a summary of the proponent information entered. When the filter identifies a CATEX, it will also produce an unofficial CATEX Declaration.

  20. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter The filter is an automated PDF. The filter will provide information in an efficient, repeatable, and time-saving manner.

  21. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter After entering information concerning a proposed procedure into the filter, proponents will know whether a CATEX is identified, or whether further environmental review will be required.

  22. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter The filter replaces the existing manual checklist. The new automated process should reduce the volume of paperwork and will provide more detailed information than was previously gathered.

  23. Filter Information Requirements The following information is needed to use the filter effectively: • Proponent information • New or updated procedure information • FAA Facility concurrence, acknowledging awareness of the third party proposed procedure • Electronic satellite (such as Google) or land use map (to show if the new or updated procedure directs traffic over a noise-sensitive area)

  24. Filter Information Requirements Procedure information includes: • Airport address of the proposed procedure • Minimum altitude of the proposed procedure • Type of procedure: • new or existing • arrival, departure, en route, helicopter • Noise-sensitive areas

  25. Filter Information Requirements Procedure information also includes: • Average annual number of operations by aircraft type (props, jets, helicopters) • Average annual number of operations by time of occurrence (day, evening, night) • Average daily number of operations by time of occurrence (day, evening, night) for helicopter only requests • Helicopter route (if over a major thoroughfare)

  26. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter The filter outputs will be emailed to the FAA for review. The FAA will determine whether the filter information is complete and complies with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C. If the filter information is not complete, it will be returned to the proponent for review. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  27. Review of the Filter Results After the filter identifies a CATEX or the need for additional environmental review, the results will be sent via email to the FAA specialist coordinating the proposed procedure for review. The email will include the following attachments: • A PDF of the questions and responses entered into the Filter by the proponent, and either • an unofficial CATEX Declaration, or • instructions for additional environmental review, • Electronic satellite (such as Google) or land use map (if the proposed procedure directs traffic over a noise-sensitive area)

  28. Review of the Filter Results The email may also include the following attachments: • FAA Facility concurrence, acknowledging awareness of the proposed procedure by a third party, and

  29. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter If the filter information is complete and meets all the environmental requirements and the procedure package is complete, it is sent forward for development Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  30. Review of the Filter Results For public procedures, the completed procedure package will be forwarded to AeroNav Products (for development) using the FAA automated Procedure Tracking System (PTS). For 3rd Party Specials the environmental requirement will be reviewed by ATO and the technical information by AFS.

  31. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter If an additional environmental review is performed, an updated procedure design may be created. The proponent will then enter the updated procedure information into the filter, and the evaluation process will be repeated. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  32. Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter Proposed procedures that conform to established environmental parameters will either be published or implemented, while those that do not meet the parameters will be returned for additional review. Third-party special procedures will be implemented (after approval by an FAA RFO), and public procedures will be scheduled for publication after approval by an FAA RFO. Need for New/Updated Aircraft Procedure Review Environmental Submission Complete/ Update Procedure Action Design Complete Environmental Pre-screening Filter Passed Environmental Review? YES NO Perform Additional Environmental Review NO Develop Procedure New/Updated Procedure Published or Implemented Receive FAA Responsible Federal Official (RFO) Approval Publish or Implement Procedure No Changes or Changes within Environmental Parameters? YES

  33. Proponents Proponents will receive the following feedback on their proposed procedures: • Summary of question-and-answer responses from the filter, and • Identification of a CATEX, with the qualifying FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C noted, or the need for further environmental review.

  34. Third-party Developers Third-party developers will create a comprehensive packages for proposed procedure. The expected actions of third-party developers are to: • Complete the filter • Develop and forward the completed procedure package to AFS for review and approval. The Environmental Filter results will be forwarded to ATO Environmental Specialists for review and approval

  35. ATO Environmental Specialist ATO Environmental Specialists will review the filter results for all third-party proposed special procedures to ensure they are complete and comply with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C. The approved package will then be sent back to the third party developer to be included in the submission to AFS If additional environmental review is required for public procedures, the ATO Environmental Specialist will conduct the review and use the filter results to determine whether the proposed procedure meets the conditions for: • A CATEX declaration, or • An environmental assessment (EA).

  36. Air Flight Standard (AFS) Service AFS will review and approve all third party proposed special procedures The AFS specialist may also return the procedure package to the third party to determine next steps if needed.

  37. Operations Support Group (OSG)Flight Procedures Team (FPT) The OSG FPT will review the filter results to ensure they are complete and comply with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C. The expected outcomes from the OSG FPT are to: • Produce an approved CATEX declaration to be included in the procedure package • Send a completed procedure package to AeroNav Products for development if the conditions for a CATEX are met, or • Forward the procedure package to the OSG Environmental Specialist if a CATEEX can not be identified or return the filter results to the proponent to determine next steps

  38. OSG Environmental Specialists If additional environmental review is required for pubic procedures, an OSG environmental specialist will conduct the environmental review and use the filter results to determine whether the proposed procedure meets the conditions for: • A CATEX declaration, • An environmental assessment (EA) The OSG environmental specialist will send the results of the additional environmental review to OSG FPT for processing.

  39. AeroNav Products When AeroNav Products receives a completed public procedure package, containing all the required documents from OSG FPT or AFS via the Procedure Tracking System (PTS), AeroNav Products will determine whether procedure changes are required.

  40. AeroNav Products If no changes are needed, or if changes were made within the environmental parameters, AeroNav Products: • Develops the proposed procedure, • Makes any necessary changes to procedure, and • Forwards the completed procedure package for publication after receiving the approval of a responsible federal official (RFO).

  41. AeroNav Products If changes were made that were outside of parameters, AeroNav Products returns the procedure package to OSG FPT for review with the proponent to determine next steps.

  42. Module 3 Aircraft Procedure Environmental Pre-screening Filter

  43. Introduction The goal of this module is to understand the filter and how it is used.

  44. Learning Objectives This instructional module will prepare you to: • Access the filter, • Enter information into the filter, and • Recognize the filter outputs

  45. Live Filter Demonstration

  46. Module 4 Review of Filter Results

  47. Introduction The goal of this module is to recognize whether the results of the filter are compliant with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C.

  48. Learning Objectives This instructional module will prepare you to: • Recognize whether a CATEX identified by the filter is compliant with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C, • Use the CATEX quick-reference card and the Aircraft Procedure Request Environmental Process User Guide to recognize whether a CATEX identified by the filter is complaint with FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 303C. • Use the CATEX quick-reference card to identify the qualification criteria associated with a CATEX identified by the filter.

  49. Overview As noted in module two, the filter will improve the environmental process by increasing consistency, repeatability, and efficiency during the review process.

  50. Overview However, the filter will never be used as a substitute for human expertise in the review process. In fact, human expertise will be essential in reviewing the output(s) of the filter. The FAA personnel who have been responsible for environmental review in the past will retain their roles as reviewers.
