<strong>Trajectory</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> <strong>Operations</strong> (<strong>TBO</strong>)<br />
Study Team Report<br />
• ANSP will delegate lateral separation to the flight deck for RNP operations that are less than<br />
the capability (< three nm) expected from the 2025 ANSP surveillance.<br />
• By 2025, improvements in barometric altimetry will enable vertical separation less than 1,000<br />
feet in terminal airspace <strong>and</strong> altitudes less than FL290.<br />
• Decision support tools will include wake turbulence separation applications providing dynamic,<br />
pair-wise, lateral, longitudinal, <strong>and</strong> vertical separation requirements for trajectory management<br />
based on aircraft <strong>and</strong> weather conditions in real time (OI-0387). “In real time” means wake<br />
spacing can be updated during the day, but not after the aircraft has reached TOD.<br />
• The RTP timing requirement varies along route as follows; Arrival Meter Point/TOD + one<br />
minute, FAF/Touchdown + 3 seconds.<br />
• Similar to RTCA <strong>Trajectory</strong> <strong>Operations</strong>, there is no need for FMS to h<strong>and</strong>le multiple RTAs.<br />
This would be very costly for airlines. The RTA will be applied relatively short-term (< 30<br />
minutes) at various points along the route.<br />

• Ability of <strong>TBO</strong> closed trajectory ending at runway exit requires research. The exit times will<br />
have to be generous <strong>and</strong> consider varying aircraft approach speeds based on weights,<br />
environmental conditions, minimum equipment list item consideration (e.g., thrust reverser<br />
inoperative), <strong>and</strong> runway turnoff, high speed exits, parallel taxiway design, <strong>and</strong> alignment<br />
amongst others. Regulatory requirements will exist covering available runway needed, stopping<br />
distance, approach, <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>ing climb limits. If precise 4DTs for l<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> runway exit are<br />
desired, it is likely they will have to be provided by the operator because the operator will have<br />
access to all the necessary information, some of which will be proprietary information.<br />
• While some aircraft have avionics to help the pilot decelerate to meet an exit (e.g., Airbus’s<br />
Brake-to-Vacate), this capability would need to be on most aircraft to significantly affect<br />
runway throughput.<br />
• Research may lead to removing the 250-knot maximum speed restriction below 10,000 feet<br />
AGL, so as to support best possible lift over drag <strong>and</strong> increase the options for design of the<br />
arrival paths.<br />
13.0 PHX To MIA Scenario<br />
13.1 Surface Movement<br />
The PHX ground control position provides taxi instruction to pilot via data communications. Surface<br />
movement taxi guidance arrives via data link <strong>and</strong> is presented on the CDTI. The pilot of Sunset 42<br />
acknowledges taxi instructions <strong>and</strong> coordinates pushback with ramp control. The ANSP ground<br />
controller issues further taxi instructions based on changes such as TMI <strong>and</strong> departure sequence<br />
changes.<br />
The ground controller <strong>and</strong> the pilot monitor taxi conformance. The primary responsibility for safety<br />
during taxi operations rests with the pilot, who follows the assigned taxi route. The ANSP provides an<br />
extra layer of protection for blunders by others, including runway incursions <strong>and</strong> unforeseen weather<br />
conditions.<br />
