| |Lesson 6 discussed accessing oceanic and international operations resources and publications. | |
| |This lesson addresses SAOs, the CNS requirements for each SAO, and the means for communicating| |
| |clearances. | |
| | | |
| |Motivation | |
| |To be able to correctly and consistently issue Operations Specifications (OpSpecs), Management|3/28/2013 |
| |Specifications (MSpecs), and Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to operators and individuals | |
| |desiring to operate in Special Areas of Operation by thoroughly understanding the CNS | |
| |requirements for Special Areas of Operation (SAO) through consultation with your Regional | |
| |NextGen SAO Specialist and, if applicable, a Dispatch Inspector Specialist. | |
| |Objectives | |
|SL-2-SAO |[pic] | |
| | | |
| |Participants will be able to: | |
| |Identify the SAOs | |
| |Identify the communication, navigation, and surveillance requirements for each SAO | |
| |Identify the means for communicating clearances | |

|( |Bring attention to the NAT tracks, major traffic flows depending on the time of day, the | |
| |running clock at the bottom of the slide and the concentration of traffic on the core tracks. | |
| |These flows include the NAT tracks, NOPAC routes to Asia, and CEP routes to Hawaii. | |
| | | |
|SL-5-SAO |[pic] | |
| | | |
|( |Question: Are there any oceanic areas of the world that use flexible track systems? If yes, | |
| |give some examples. | |
| |Answer: Yes. Examples include the NAT OTS and the Pacific (Hawaii to Japan and West Coast of | |
| |U.S. to Australia). | |
| | | |
| |Flexible tracks can change from day to day depending on winds, weather, and user-preferred | |
| |routes. | |
| |There are fixed tracks that do not change from day to day. For example, WATRS, CEP, NOPAC and | |
| |NAT Contingency routes (Blue Spruce). | |
|( |The answer and two graphics of supporting examples are on the next slide. | |

| |NAT OTS is a flex-track system that changes daily. On the other hand, NOPAC and CEP are | |
| |fixed-track systems. | |

| | |lesson – HO-02-SAO. |
| |These requirements are performance-based and may require strict tolerances for integrity, | |
| |availability, and monitoring. | |
| | | |
| |Communication | |
| |Except as noted, unrestricted operations in SAOs require 2 High Frequency (HF) voice radios to| |
| |be installed and operational. Long Range Communication Systems (LRCS) requirements are | |
| |evolving. For example, SATCOM Voice is currently being evaluated as a primary means of | |
| |long-range communication. | |
|( |Exceptions to the above communication requirements for dual HF radios include, West Atlantic |Click on the B050 map to |
| |Route System (WATRS), Gulf of Mexico, and the special contingency routes between North America|show these areas. |
| |and Europe (Blue Spruce). | |
| | |ETOPS areas in bottom right |
| | |hand corner of the map. |
| |Navigation | |
| |For unrestricted operations, two Long Range Navigation Systems (LRNS) are required. | |
| |Surveillance | |
| |All SAOs outside radar (or ADS-B coverage) are procedural airspaces that require voice or Data| |
| |Link position reports. | |
| | | |
| |Now that we’ve reviewed SAO CNS requirements, let’s discuss unrestricted operations. | |
| | | |
| |Unrestricted Operations | |
|SL-8-SAO |[pic] |Click on each graphic to |

| | | |
| |Unrestricted Operations: | |
| |NAT Organized Track System (OTS) | |
| |NAT Track Message | |
| |NAT Track messages will detail information about flight levels available and oceanic waypoints| |
| |The tracks, validity time and TMI number (Julian dates) should be checked | |
| | | |
| |NAT Organized Track System (OTS) | |
| |The NAT OTS is designed to provide minimum time tracks based on winds, predicated weather, | |
| |environmental conditions (volcanic activity), or other relevant factors. The primary ATC | |
| |Oceanic Centers constructing the OTS are Gander and Shanwick. | |
| |ATC does consider inputs from operators for user-preferred routes. The primary Flight Level | |
| |(FL) band for the majority of the NAT traffic is FL310-390. | |
| |The actual NAT Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) vertical boundaries are FL| |
| |285-420. | |
| |The evening tracks from North America to Europe are valid from 0100-0800 UTC. They are | |
| |designated by letters, from the end of the alphabet with the southernmost track labeled “Z”. | |
| |These tracks are issued by Gander Center in Canada. | |
| |The daytime tracks from Europe to North/Central America are valid from 1130-1900 UTC. They are| |
| |designated by letters, from the beginning of the alphabet with the northern most track labeled| |
| |“A”. These tracks are issued by Shanwick Center in the UK. | |
|( |The track validity times are noted on each NAT track message and are based on an aircraft |North Atlantic Operations |
| |crossing 030 west longitude within the validity period. This is the boundary between the |and Airspace Manual |
| |Gander and Shanwick FIRs. | |
| |NAT Track Message | |
| |Each NAT track message has an assigned track message identification (TMI) which is listed in | |
| |the remarks section of each message. The TMI is associated with the Julian date. For example, | |
| |a track message for 27 Jan would have a TMI of 027. Any amendments to the track message would| |
| |have an alphanumeric TMI. For example, an amendment for 27 Jan might have a TMI of 027A. | |
|( |The NAT track messages routinely have information on NARs (eastern sea board of the U.S.) and |NARS – North American Routes|
| |NERS (transitioning into Europe). These NARs and NERS are simply guidance to flight planners | |
| |for preferred routing for aircraft transitioning between the domestic and oceanic sector. |NERS- North Atlantic |

| |Procedural surveillance that requires giving voice or Data Link position reports | |
| | | |
| |Oceanic airspace is considered procedural for the separation of aircraft in that crews are | |
| |given typically an assigned speed, flight level, and route. Established oceanic procedures | |
| |normally will not result in a loss of separation between two aircraft in trail exposed to the | |
| |same environmental conditions. | |
| |Aircraft using Data link (CPDLC and ADS-C), in effect, create tactical awareness for ATC based| |
| |on more timely information on the aircraft’s position. | |

| |Flying in the AMU requires a dual inertial platform. During OpSpec reviews, it has been found | |
| |that a number of operators have been conducting operations in the AMU with primary means | |
| |GPS-only on the aircraft. This is against FAA guidelines because an inertial platform is | |

| |Poor communication handoff between a U.S. and Russian FIR | |
| |Magnetic storm activity which can cause the compasses to fluctuate +/- 15 degrees | |
| |Operators requesting authorization to fly north of the established NOPAC routes must | |
| |demonstrate to the FAA that they have coordinated such a request with the Russian Transport | |
| |Ministry. | |
| |Part of the reason for such coordination is that the Kamchatka Peninsula has some of the | |

| |tolerance having been issued an RNP-5 authorization. This can simply be the case of RNP-5 is a| |
| |smaller number than RNP-10. | |
| |It’s important to remember that BRNAV (RNP-5) authorization is specific to overland areas and | |

| |Oceanic Required Navigation Performance (RNP) (4/10) | |
|SL-27-SAO |[pic] |3/28/2013 |
| | |8900.1 Vol 3 Ch 18 Sec 4 |
| | |Part B OpSpecs |
| | | |
| | |OpSpecs B036 authorizes only|
| | |two oceanic operations, RNP |
| | |4 and RNP 10, which are not |
| | |under Radar Surveillance |
| | | |
| | |RNP 5 is under Radar |
| | |Surveillance |
| | | |
| |C-Communication | |
| |Two LRCS required | |
| |N-Navigation | |
| |Two LRNS required | |
| |RNP-4 must be based on GNSS capability as noted in ICAO Doc 9613 (PBN Manual) | |
| |S-Surveillance | |
|( |Procedural surveillance that requires giving voice or Data Link position reports |Some areas, such as the |
| | |Tasman Sea, also require |
| | |ADS-C for RNP-4 routes. |
| | | |
|( |The FAA has implemented a single LRNS authorization in specific geographic areas (e.g., Gulf |8900.1, Order 8400.12 |
|( |of Mexico) to meet an RNP-10 requirement. |(RNP-10) and other |
| | |applicable guidance has been|
| | |revised to allow a single |
| | |LRNS in the Gulf of Mexico |
| | |to meet an RNP-10 |
| | |requirement. |
| | | |
| |Other Class II Areas | |
|SL-28-SAO |[pic] | |
| |C-Communication | |
| |Operations normally require two LRCS | |
| |N-Navigation | |
| |Operations normally require two LRNS | |
| |S-Surveillance | |
| |Procedural surveillance that requires giving voice or Data Link position reports | |
| |Certain areas of the world are considered remote operations based on the lack of alternate | |
| |airports, navigation aids, weather reporting or forecasting capabilities, and other variables.| |
| | | |
| |These remote areas may be over land or deep ocean. | |
| | | |
|( |Consult the Regional NextGen SAO Specialist for guidance on other Class II areas. |3/28/2013 |

| |Accessing the Virtual Oceanic Resource Guide | |
|SL-29-SAO |[pic] | |
|( |Go to | |
| |office_org/headquarters_offices/ATO/service_units/enroute/RVSM/ | |
| |Select Oceanic and Offshore Operations | |
| |Select Virtual Oceanic Resource Guide (VORG) | |
| |Point out to the students some of the information available within this document. | |
| | | |
|( |The VORG has a lot of information about other areas of the world. Keep in mind that not all | |
| |the information may be current. | |
| |Consult the Regional NextGen SAO Specialist for current information. |3/28/2013 |
| | | |
| |Communicating Oceanic Clearances | |
|SL-30-SAO |[pic] | |
|( |There are a number of methods that NAT ANSPs use to transmit an oceanic clearance. These |ANSPs - Air Navigation |
| |include but are not limited to the following means: |Service Providers |
| |VHF | |
| |HF | |
| |Data Link | |
| |ORCA (Oceanic Route Clearance Authorization) – Shanwick | |
| |The means of delivery can be very specific to a NAT FIR. Operators must ensure they know the | |
| |differences and what to expect in each FIR when seeking an oceanic NAT clearance. | |
| | | |
|( |Click on the oceanic clearances link on the slide, to open the NAT OPS Bulletin section on the|
| |ICAO web site. Point out some of the bulletins on respective ANSP oceanic clearance delivery |cuments_open/files.php?subca|
| |procedures. |tegory_id=124 |
| | | |
|( |Practice Exercise follows. | |
|PE-02-SAO |Ask participants to turn to the back of this lesson and pull out PE-02-SAO. | |
|SL-31-SAO |[pic] |Duration: 15 minutes (10 |
|( | |minutes to complete the |
| | |exercise and 5 minutes to |
| | |debrief). |
|( |Practice Exercise – Identifying Special Areas of Operations: PE-02-SAO |PE-02-SAO |
| | |Completed HO-01-SAO |
|PE-02-SAO |Purpose: This activity requires participants to use the HO-01-SAO: World Map handout they |HO-02-SAO |
| |completed in PE-01, to identify the CNS requirements for each identified SAO. | |
| | | |
| |Directions: Using the HO-01-SAO: World Map handout you completed in PE-01, identify the | |
| |Comm/Nav requirements and the RNP requirements for the following SAO: | |
| |NAT-MNPS | |
| |NOPAC | |
| |CEP and | |
| |WATRS | |
| | | |
| |Debrief: Use the B050 Area Map (link on slide) to indicate the CNS requirements for each SAO | |
| |listed above. | |
| |Answers: | |
| |2 & 2 (unrestricted) | |
| |2 & 2 | |
| |2 & 2 | |
| |2 & 2 – regulations, but there is an allowance for 1 & 1. | |
| |Answer for RNP: | |
| |1. NAT-MNPS – no current RNP requirements | |
| |2. NOPAC – RNP -10 required | |
| |3. CEP – RNP-10 required | |
| |4. WATRS – no mandated RNP, however operators with an RNP-4, RNP-10 authorization will be | |
| |given reduced lateral separation. | |
