Performance Metrics Results to Date December 2001 Report
Collections: Operations Management, Engineering, Technology, Space and Aviation eDocuments Collection
Excerpt: This is the fourth semi-annual report on Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) performance metrics. The Free Flight Program Office established a metrics team and an initial set of performance metrics early in the FFP1 program, in collaboration with aviation stakeholders (represented by the RTCA Free Flight Steering Committee). The metrics team now includes research analysts, database specialists, and air traffic controllers from the following organizations: the FAA, MITRE Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD), The CNA Corp. (CNAC), TASC Inc., Seagull Technology, Analytics Associates, and the National Center of Excellence for Operations Research (NEXTOR). The purpose of the metrics is to establish accountability, provide near term feedback to implementation teams, and provide a basis for future free flight investments. This report focuses on performance analyses associated with the Center TRACON Automation System (CTAS), and updates previous analyses of the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET). The primary FFP1 performance goals are to increase capacity (of both airports and airspace), reduce flight time and/or distanc...

Performance Metrics Results to Date June 2001 Report
Collections: Engineering, Technology, Innovation Management, Management, Finance, Economy, Space and Aviation eDocuments Collection
Excerpt: This is the third semi-annual report on Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) performance metrics. The intent is to describe analyses and results for FFP1 implementations over the last 6 months. The majority of new analyses relate to the Traffic Management Advisor (TMA) and the Passive Final Approach Spacing Tool (pFAST). Surface Movement Advisor (SMA) implementation is complete including several additional sites. Both the June 2000 report and the December 2000 report, available on the Free Flight website, display the details of the SMA results. Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is near complete and the June 2000 report contains a thorough analysis. We continue to collect metric data for the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET) prototype sites. These sites have the same functionality as the Core Capability Limited Deployment (CCLD) sites scheduled for initial daily use in early 2002. The results from the URET prototype sites reflect expected CCLD benefits....

Excerpt: This document presents the methodology and results to date of the Free Flight Phase 1 (FFP1) Operational Impact Evaluation. The analyses have been performed as a logical evolution of the FFP1 Metrics Team?s August 1999 report, ?Free Flight Phase 1 Performance Metrics: An Operational Impact Evaluation Plan,? (Metrics Plan). The Metrics Team is led by Dave Knorr (AOZ-40) and includes analysts and controllers from several Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) organizations, MITRE?s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD), TRW/SETA, GEMS Inc., CALIBRE Systems, Inc., and TASC, Inc. Most of the metrics identified in this June 2000 report were originally in the FFP1 Metrics Plan. However, we have added additional operational metrics highlighting unanticipated benefits from the FFP1 capabilities. Much of the discussion provided in this document as well as many of the charts and graphics have been presented to FFP1 Stakeholders in past meetings and conferences....

Draft Sample Reusable Launch Vehicle System Safety Program Plan
Collections: Mathematical Statistics, Probability Theory, Critical Thinking, Engineering, Technology, Math, Fine Arts, Statistics, Management, Logic, Finance, Economy, Accounting (Financial Record Keeping), Space and Aviation eDocuments Collection
Excerpt: The following sample System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) is based on a hypothetical applicant creating its own System Safety Program by tailoring MIL- STD- 882C ?System Safety Program Requirements? to a commercial RLV Program. MIL-STD-882 was selected for this example because of likelihood of greater familiarity within industry with this standard, however, other similar standards exist that could be effectively tailored to this task. This material was created only for illustration purposes. It is intended to demonstrate a systematic, logical, and disciplined approach for early hazard identification, and elimination or reduction, during the overall design and development and operation of a Reusable Launch Vehicle system. This material demonstrates one means of developing an SSPP, and is not a regulatory requirement....

Excerpt: Range Safety approval is the final approval necessary for data packages such as the Preliminary Flight Data Package, the Final Flight Data Package, the Missile System Prelaunch Safety Package, the Range Safety System Report, the Ground Operations Plan, and the Facility Safety Data Package. In addition, Range Safety approval is required for hazardous and safety critical procedures prior to the procedure being performed; however, Range Safety approval does not constitute final approval for hazardous and safety critical procedures since Range Users normally have additional approval requirements prior to the procedure being performed....

Executive Summary: This Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential environmental effects of the license applicant?s proposed action wherein the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) would issue an launch operator license (LOL) or launch-specific licenses to Sea Launch Limited Partnership (SLLP). If issued, the LOL would allow SLLP to conduct up to eight commercial launches per year for five years without obtaining a separate license for each launch as long as there is no change in the launch parameters or in the anticipated environmental impacts. These launches would all be equatorial and would use azimuths between 82.6 degrees and 97.4 degrees , inclusive, originating from the SLLP Launch Platform (LP) at 0 degrees latitude and 154 degrees West (W) longitude, which is 425 kilometers (km) (266 miles (mi)) from Kiritimati (Christmas Island) in the Kiribati Island Group in the Pacific Ocean. This EA also addresses the proposed issuance of a launch-specific license for the launch of a Galaxy IIIC payload as well as other launch-specific licenses for laun...
