| Y | 23 | Active | Y | Navigation | Decision on next generation CAT I Landing System. | Decisions on Category I (CAT I) Instrument Landing System (ILS) divestment will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the alternatives for providing equivalent levels of vertically-guided approach-to-landing service and the level of instrument flight rules (IFR) activity at a given airport. LAAS Cat I service will be available under non-federal procurement in Q1 2009. ILS divestments at selected airports are not expected to begin before 2012, based on the availability of LAAS-based Cat I services under non-federal procurement or on substitution of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) services for ILS. See related DP24. | 2008 Q3 | FY08 Q4 | No | Awaiting Agency approval of the replacement of CAT I ILS with WAAS based on evaluation of the work in WAAS certification that appeared viable for most U.S. locations. Approval may involve determination of ILS divestments at selected airports that may not begin before 2012, based on the substitution of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) services for ILS. Approval may require analysis of a policy and mitigation strategy, for a loss of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) must be determined. In addition, LAAS was originally intended to provide CAT I where WAAS coverage was not available. If LAAS is not used for this purpose, ILSs in areas where WAAS coverage is insufficient will need to be retained. The status will stay yellow until receipt of Agency approval regarding these decisions. No further update at this time. | 30-Jan-2009 | |
| Y | 24 | Active | Y | Navigation | Decision to proceed with research & development work for Category-II/III GBAS | By early 2009, the FAA will have completed certification work for the Category-I LAAS system design approval (SDA). This acheivement is a precursor to proceeding with the R&D work for a Category-II/III LAAS prototype by 2010 and a regulatory approval for a Category-II/III LAAS by 2012. | 2009 Q1 | FY09 Q2 | Yes | Awaiting Agency approval of what FAA's responsibilities should be regarding provision of Category (CAT) II/III precision approach service. Approval may involve determining whether or not to continue with Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) technologies to support CAT II/III operations. Approval may also involve decisions with the aviation community, including definitions of the standard services provided by FAA, of the public-use special services, and of the nonpublic services provide by the airport operator/user. Furthermore, the potential value of LAAS would be to reduce FAA costs by allowing for more divestiture of ILS units and for the expansion of CAT II/III services to more airports that may need the support of a feasibility decision of CAT II/III LAAS. If CAT II/III Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) are not divested, they will require sustainment/replacement. The status will stay yellow until receipt of Agency approval. No update from the agency yet. | 30-Jan-2009 | |
