  1. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop 8-10 August 2006 SAMA Small Aircraft Manufacturers Association

  2. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop Tenny Lindholm Al Yates And a lot of others! 8-10 August 2006

  3. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop8-10 August 2006 • Welcome and thanks! • Introduction to UCAR, NCAR and RAL • Workshop materials • Details • Emergency and safety • Facilities • Security--valuables • Wireless and Internet access • Library, 2nd floor—Internet and limited copying available • Food and refreshments • Presentation materials for preload

  4. Define “Weather in the Cockpit” • “…a system combining and presenting various types of weather information obtained through multiple data-link sources, on-board remote sensors, and in-situ sensors to aid crews with effective flight management”

  5. Aircraft Capabilities Decision Aids User Capabilities Data Link Other Aircraft User Interface Processor Presentation Air-Air Data Link Onboard Sensors Wx Report Position Air-Ground Flight Information Navigation Information Ground Wx System Flight Plan Satellite Observations Traffic Terrain Data Link Weather Products Special Use Airspace Obstacles Ground-Air Aviation Weather Information System

  6. Goals and Objectives • Gain consensus within and between the user, research, and regulatory communities on • Weather related problems with aircraft • Weather information in the cockpit that is needed to address these problems • How best to get advanced weather products into the cockpit/flight deck • Develop a roadmap of tasks, dates, needed to ensure continued operational approval of weather products • Plan for future forums as needed

  7. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop8-10 August 2006Program • Today • Setting the stage—user perspectives and safety • JPDO, NGATS, WxIPT—a primer • FAA Cockpit Weather Vision—how it fits • Advanced aviation weather products • Industry products and issues • Displays and demonstrations/reception

  8. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop8-10 August 2006Program • Tomorrow • ADS-B • Approval of aviation weather products via operational suitability testing • International interoperability of data link • User breakouts by class—low-end GA, high-end unscheduled, high-end scheduled • Groups report to plenary

  9. Weather in the Cockpit Workshop8-10 August 2006Program • Thursday—wrap-up and catch-up • Identify holes in needs and capabilities • Roadmap • Plan for the future

  10. Capacity, Efficiency, Safety • Capt Joe Burns, United Airlines. Director, Flight Standards and Technology • Capt Terry McVenes, ALPA. Executive Air Safety Chairman • Mr. Bruce Landsberg. Executive Director, AOPA Air Safety Foundation

  11. JPDO, WxIPT, and NGATS—a primer • JPDO, NGATS • WxIPT Integration Subteam 2012 IOC capabilities • Weather in the cockpit • Ceiling and visibility integration into terminal ATM • Weather information sharing with airline AOCs, shared situational awareness • Lead into the next session—what is the driving force?

  12. JPDO, WxIPT, and NGATS—a primer • Dr. Bruce Carmichael, Director of Aviation Application Programs, NCAR-RAL • Mr. Ernie Dash, Raytheon

  13. FAA’s Vision for Weather in the Cockpit • Mr. Steve VanTrees, FAA. Manager, Avionics Systems Branch, Aircraft Certification

  14. Weather Technology and Products • ADDS. Mr. Greg Thompson • Turbulence diagnoses and forecasts. Dr. Bob Sharman • Consolidated summer/winter storm forecasts. Dr. Roy Rasmussen • Current and forecast icing. Dr. Marcia Politovich • Ceiling and visibility. Dr. Paul Herzegh • Oceanic weather, volcanic ash. Cathy Kessinger • CIP/FIP user forum remarks. Debi Bacon

  15. Weather in the Cockpit—a sampler • Dr. Laurence Vigeant-Langlois, WSI • Capt Bob Smith, Boeing • Kathleen Kearns, SITA • Mick Goslin, WxWorx • Capt Joe Burns, United Airlines • Steve Young, NASA Langley • Kevin Kronfeld, Rockwell-Collins

  16. ADS-B Program • Mr. Rob Strain, MITRE Corporation, Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD)

  17. Approving Advanced Aviation Weather Products • Mr. Robert Ruiz, FAA Flight Standards, Flight Technology Requirements Branch

  18. Interoperability Initiatives—US and Europe • Mr. Ernie Dash, Raytheon. RTCA Special Committee 206/ EUROCAE

  19. Breakout Session • Low-end general aviation, helicopters—Parts 91/135 • High-end unscheduled—Parts 91/135, DoD, NBAA • High-end scheduled—Parts 121/135

  20. Breakout Session • Issues • Operational problems with weather • Weather information needed in the cockpit • Obstacles • Gaps in the current way of operating—informational and procedural • Suggested interventions to resolving obstacles and gaps • Facilitator and scribe for each session • Laptop and powerpoint are needed; rooms have projectors • Presentation of results to the plenary later

  21. Outcome from BreakoutsHazards: Turbulence, Icing, C/V, Storms (winter/conv), Oceanic/VA

  22. Outcome from BreakoutsHazards: Turbulence, Icing, C/V, Storms (winter/conv), Oceanic/VA

  23. Breakout Rooms • 3131 • 3150 • 2126

  24. Goals and Objectives • Gain consensus within and between the user, research, and regulatory communities on • Weather related problems with aircraft • Weather information in the cockpit that is needed to address these problems • How best to get advanced weather products into the cockpit/flight deck • Develop a roadmap of tasks, dates, needed to ensure continued operational approval of weather products • Plan for future forums as needed

  25. Implementation Issues • Use of Airborne Data Sensors • Development of Weather Products • Training and Human Factors Considerations • Integration of Weather Data from Multiple Sources • Determine What Weather Information is Needed By Each Group of Decision Makers

  26. Other Issues • When is a defined weather information product ready for unrestricted operational dissemination and use? How do the regulatory requirements interact with the use of advanced weather products • What is needed for a source of weather information to be approved for unrestricted operational use? • Vendor-created weather products, both value-added and created using vendor software • Is AWTT approval for the algorithm, or the implementation of that algorithm? • What is needed beyond AWTT D4 (operational) to allow unrestricted use? Actions and/or timeline… • Process to obtain, verify, grids; produce products uniformly from grids; transmit to data link processor and aircraft; parallel transmission to AOC, ATC • Merge with ADS-B or other two-way link

  27. Roadmap Development • Turbulence • Icing • Ceiling and visibility • Terminal • National • Storms • Winter • Convective • Oceanic/remote • ADDS

  28. Readiness for 2012 IOC • Events that have to happen • Times needed for 2012 IOC • Times needed for quick readiness for NGATS, 2025

  29. “Enabling WIC”WIC Vision • Design approval guidance • Weather products, depiction hardware • Weather product software • Operational approval guidance for new products and non-government vendors • Training and evaluation criteria • FAA pilot outreach in data link weather

  30. Outcome from BreakoutsHazards: Turbulence, Icing, C/V, Storms (winter/conv), Oceanic/VA

  31. RoadmapAdvanced Weather ProductsEvents/Dates to complete/Priority/OPR

  32. Plans for the Future • Recurring events to measure and document progress • Workshops? • Held in conjunction with other meetings? • How often? • Other participants? • Other ideas?

  33. Acknowledgements • Rhonda • Rose and her team • All of you Thanks!

  34. Possible Obstacles • Aircraft equipage • Access to grids or data • Certification or approval of product grids • Certification or approval of vendor or value-added features • Information content standardization for SSA • Bandwidth availability • Other…
