Notice of Industry Meeting

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is hosting an 
industry day to introduce the Four-Dimensional Trajectory (4DT) Live 
Flight Demonstration Project to the aviation community. The FAA will 
present and discuss the 4DT Live Flight Demonstration Project vision, 
objectives, partnership requirements, and project timelines. The 
Industry Day will provide the initial platform for interested 
organizations to collaborate and strategize on project partnerships to 
execute the live flight demonstrations with the FAA.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on October 24, 2018, from 1:00 
p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Teaming proposals will be due 1 month following 
Industry Day.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the FAA's Florida NextGen 
Testbed (FTB), 557 Innovation Way, Daytona Beach, FL 32114.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The current Air Traffic Management (ATM) environment is dependent 
on the exchange of information via a combination of voice and digital 
means. As ATM continues to evolve into a more collaborative decision 
making (CDM) environment to support the increasing operational density, 
the demand for digitally exchanging more and increasingly complex 
information will continue to grow. In a CDM environment, the current 
systems and mixed aircraft equipage of communication capabilities could 
lead to inefficient use of airspace and airport operations. The FAA 
envisions that leveraging emerging technologies and data exchange 
standards will result in the exchange of significantly more and high-
quality aviation information via commercially available high-bandwidth 
air/ground (A/G) communications infrastructure. This will enable an 
efficient CDM environment, leading to the realization of trajectory-
based operations benefits within the National Airspace System (NAS) and 
its airspace users.
    The FAA is establishing a 4DT Live Flight Demonstration Project in 
collaboration with partners in the aviation community to showcase 
applications supporting A/G capabilities for the exchange of trajectory 
information, negotiation of trajectories and execution of agreed upon 
trajectories throughout all phases of flight, utilizing a commercially 
available communications architecture and flight deck technologies.
    To solicit industry partnership teams, the FAA is hosting an 
Industry Day to introduce the 4DT Live Flight Demonstration Project. 
The FAA invites the aviation community--commercial and corporate 
operators, aircraft avionics manufacturers, aircraft connectivity 
service providers, and all others interested in participating in the 
live flight demonstrations to attend the 4DT Live Flight Demonstration 
Industry Day. The Industry Day will provide a platform for interested 
organizations to collaborate and strategize on project partnerships to 
execute the live flight demonstrations with the FAA.
    The 4DT Live Flight Demonstration will leverage the FAA's System 
Wide Information Management capabilities, Controller-Pilot Data Link 
Communications services, and FAA ATM and air traffic control (ATC) 
ground automation capabilities. The FAA is seeking to engage industry 
partner teams to provide complementary industry resources required for 
the demonstration. These

resources include, but are not limited to personnel and subject matter 
experts (Pilots, Aircraft Dispatchers, etc.), aircraft equipped with 
FANS 1/A, Airline Operations Center/Flight Operations Center flight 
planning and dispatch applications, Electronic Flight Bags hardware and 
software applications, Aircraft Interface Devices, A/G broadband 
internet services, ground automation system applications, commercial 
data management services, and other capabilities that industry may see 
beneficial to support the future ATM environment. The Live Flight 
Demonstration will provide a platform to showcase the benefits of 
trajectory sharing and synchronization and begin to establish the 
policies and procedures for their routine usage with the National 
Airspace System.

Registration

    Space at the FTB facility is limited and therefore, attendance will 
be on a first come first served basis. However, a webcast will be 
provided for those that cannot attend in person. To attend the Industry 
Day (in person or via webcast), participants must register via the 
following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4dt-live-flight-demonstration-industry-day-tickets-48876809854.
