<strong>Trajectory</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> <strong>Operations</strong> (<strong>TBO</strong>)<br />

Study Team Report<br />

In the scenario, ground control from the ANSP provides the rest of the taxi instruction, corrective<br />

action, or new clearance taxi route to RWY 25R.<br />

Ground control then coordinates with the local controller for RWY 25R. The ground control then<br />

issues h<strong>and</strong>off to local controller. The pilot of Sunset 42 monitors EFVS to maintain taxiway centerline<br />

at night <strong>and</strong> in low-visibility. Own-ship surface movement alerting is also employed for indication of<br />

the correct runway identifier <strong>and</strong> insufficient runway length alerting. The information for the departure<br />

has been delivered before taxi-out <strong>and</strong> the ANSP local controller will provide the takeoff clearance.<br />

The pilot of Sunset 42 takes off to slot into a departure stream to join the overhead flow. The takeoff<br />

event time is distributed through network-centric operations for common situational awareness <strong>and</strong> to<br />

update automation used for <strong>TBO</strong>.<br />

13.2 Phoenix Takeoff <strong>and</strong> Climb<br />

Sunset 42 is departing on RWY 25R <strong>and</strong> will be continuing initially to the west for noise abatement.<br />

An RNP 0.3 dynamic OPC is negotiated between PHX Departure <strong>and</strong> Sunset 42 dispatch after<br />

pushback. This happens as soon as the aircraft’s actual weight (final PAX <strong>and</strong> fuel on board) <strong>and</strong><br />

performance have been confirmed. <strong>Trajectory</strong> management automation at PHX provides OPCs that are<br />

separated from arrival <strong>and</strong> other departure flows for less equipped aircraft. In this case, an OPC<br />

tailored to Sunset 42’s departure direction can be accommodated because the weather is clear <strong>and</strong><br />

traffic is relatively light. The agreed-upon departure OPC is data linked to Sunset 42, acknowledged,<br />

reviewed, accepted <strong>and</strong> auto-loaded by the flight crew. This transaction happens at the gate or during<br />

taxi-out if the takeoff numbers are not available from dispatch. Dispatch has already worked<br />

calculations of the proposed climb based on altitudes that must be met by certain points in the<br />
