Poster Board Overview

Federal Aviation Administration 0

STRMY

OXFRDProcedure – All procedures

use a five-letter designation.

This procedure is named

“Oxford”.

Waypoint – Represents a

latitude/longitude point aircraft

fly to while on a procedure.

Waypoints also use five-letter

designations. This waypoint is

pronounced “Stormy”.

Dispersed Path Area –

Represents the area that

aircraft will fly in the future

when Air Traffic Controllers

give pilots headings to follow.

PBN Procedure – Represents

procedures that use satellite

navigation.

Southwest Flow Departure Procedures

Federal Aviation Administration 1

• This board shows seven Area

Navigation (RNAV) Standard

Instrument Departures (SIDs) to

the southwest

• Aircraft will fly similar paths and

altitudes as they do today

• ATC will direct aircraft using a

vector (a compass heading) to

the first waypoint on a procedure

• ATC may direct aircraft away

from the procedure to avoid

hazardous weather, for

operational need, or for safety

• Radar data shown is a sample

of jet traffic from August 2019

Southwest Flow Arrival and Approach Procedures

Federal Aviation Administration 3

• This board shows four Area

Navigation (RNAV) Standard

Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs)

for jet aircraft landing in the

southwest flow

• The STAR transitions to the

approach at approximately

6,000 feet

• The BLOGS STAR does not

have a connected approach

procedure; aircraft will be radar

vectored by ATC to the runway

• Aircraft will fly similar paths and

altitudes as they do today

• This board shows a zoomed-in

view of the transition from the

STARs to the approach paths for

jet aircraft in the southwest flow

• The STAR transitions to the

approach at approximately

6,000 feet

• The BUTTS waypoint will be

moved three miles north to

improve the descent profile

• Some aircraft will be radar

vectored by ATC to the runway

during periods of high traffic

volume

• PBN approach procedures will

be used by ATC during periods

of low traffic volume

• ATC may direct aircraft away

from the procedure to avoid

hazardous weather, for

operational need, or for safety

• Radar data shown is a sample

of jet traffic from August 2019
