 FAA Surface Indicating & Alerting Program (SURF IA)

• FAA Sponsored Program with Honeywell, Jet Blue & Alaska Airlines
• Sixteen Month Program (Nov 2008 - Mar 2010) to:
- Accelerate RTCA SURF IA standards development by producing an Operational
Performance Assessment and Operational Safety Assessment
- Develop display concepts and indication and alerting algorithms
 Honeywell human factors evaluation included JetBlue Airways and Alaska Airlines pilots
- Prototype display, surveillance and alerting functionality
- Demonstrate the system
 Demonstrations at Seattle-Tacoma International airport (SEA) and Snohomish County Paine
Field airport (PAE) Dec 2009 – Feb 2010
 Preliminary
y evaluation of TIS-B compatibility
y and Effectiveness for SURF IA at SEA
 Use Honeywell King Air and Sovereign test aircraft

 Principal Findings

• Pilot Acceptance:
- Generally good Pilot Acceptance
- Pilots found airport map and traffic display very useful for gaining and
maintaining situational awareness
- Display of “Engaged Traffic” and “Target Velocity Vector” was very
useful
- Pilots prefer ASSA display, but found FAROA acceptable
- No data to support a requirement for inhibiting indications and alerts
during Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
• System Performance Observations:
- Overall

- Some concerns/limitations observed with ADS-B data:
 Navigation Integrity Code (NIC) and Navigation Accuracy Code for Position (NACp) values reported by aircraft
were often outside the limits set for SURF IA

(generally use Track angle, which is reported as zero when aircraft is
stationary)
- ADS-B transmissions were sometimes masked when line-of-sight g was
blocked
- Occasionally observed loss of ADS-B signal reception, possibly due to
multi-path reflections from hangars and/or large aircraft

 ADS-B In Trail Procedure Operational Evaluation

• Honeywell has developed, integrated, and certified a complete ITP

avionics capability STC’d on United Airlines 747-400s.
• The system consists of our TPA-100B Traffic Computer with ADS-B In and
ITP capability,
capability TRA 67A Transponders with ADSADS-BB Out
Out, and a Goodrich
®
Class 3 SmartDisplay EFB running Honeywell SmartTraffic™ ITP display
software.

 What About UAT?
+ Additional “uplink”
uplink capacity - ATC Transponder still required
+ Supported in U.S. - Support for TCAS, SSRs
+ ADS-B Out and In - Common control inputs
+ Lower total cost? - Mode A codes
codes, Ident
+ lower transmit power - Global standard is 1090ES
+ integral receiver - Not globally interoperable
+ design analysis on
on-going
going - Need for rebroadcast
- Requires “timemark” from GPS

Other Considerations
• Other commercial alternatives for broadcast weather
• Avionics solutions for ADS-B In
• Bandwidth for future aircraft densities
• Interoperability issues when operating away from ground station

Choice Driven By Airspace & User Needs
