The Aviation Challenge…

Civil Aviation Authorities & Airports -Want to attract new and more frequent operationsNeed to compete for travel, tourists, and trade Have to provide and protect safe and efficient airspace, while complying with regulatory guidelines Must consider the impacts growth will have on surrounding communities and the environment

Airlines, Business Aviation, and Cargo Operators -Want to take advantage of the advanced navigational capabilities of their aircraftNeed to decrease diversions, lower fuel usage, and increase their operational efficienciesHave to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their operations

Private Airports, Private Operators, and Military Organizations –Want customized and customer-focused airspace servicesNeed a source for cutting-edge and timely flight procedure designHave to consider cost-effective alternatives to traditional navigational aids and flight procedures

Flight Procedure Development & Airspace Design…

Feasibility Studies – a complete Airspace Analysis tailored for specific customer needs or requirements.

Satellite-based area navigation (RNAV) flight procedures

Positive Vertical Guidance

Cutting-edge application of advanced navigational concepts (RNAV - RNP, WAAS, etc.)

Traditional flight procedures (ILS, VOR, NDB, etc.)

Efficient & effective regulatory guidance & support

Integrated Jeppesen charting & coding of new procedures

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)Global Positioning System (GPS)

GPS based procedures provide continuous support of Instrument Flight Rules, without a reduction in accuracy or dependability.

RNAV (GPS) Instrument ApproachesWide Area Augmentation (WAAS) – network of precisely located ground reference stations that monitor satellite signalsLNAV/VNAV – Lateral Navigation with Vertical GuidanceVertical Guidance Performance (LPV)RNP – Required Navigation Performance

WAAS, LNAV/VNAV and LPV provides service for all classes of aircraft in all phases of flight operations – including enroute navigation, airport arrivals and departures.

Saint Petersburg-Clearwater Project Overview

Airspace AnalysisLimitations and challenges presented by existing approaches,departures and transitions in the terminal environment.Review/Potential modification of existing Charted Visual Flight Procedure for Runway 17L. Possible elimination of night restrictions.RNAV (GPS) Approach to Runway 17L (LNAV/VNAV, LPV) using current ground track. Possible increase in descent angle, offset ground track, etc. Runway 17L Instrument Departure Procedure – Variants to ground track, headings, turns, feasibility of using RNAV.RNAV (GPS) Approach to Runway 35R (LNAV/VNAV, LPV) using current ground track. Possible increase in descent angle, offset ground track, etc. Potential Instrument Departure Procedure for Runway 35R - ground tracks, headings, turns, feasibility of using RNAV.Airport User survey – Pilot Feedback
