PDF
Aeromedical Safety Brochures are prepared for general aviation pilots, commercial pilots and physicians. The brochures acquaint the aviation community with the physiological challenges of the aviation environment and relevant safety concerns.
Research Integrations as subcontractor to National Institute of Aerospace completed a series of reviews and analyses to provide the FAA with guidelines and recommendations for flight crew training in the future NextGen environment. This future environment is expected to require increased flight deck automation to enable National Airspace System (NA

Honeywell explored the limitations and capabilities of the Controller/Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) interface with aircraft navigation and guidance systems. This report contains sections describing a literature review, an engineering analysis methods and results, and recommendations. The literature review covers an overview of differences

Implementation of NextGen improvements will require shifts in the roles and responsibilities of flightdeck, ATC and FOC personnel and that these changes will require the development of new flightdeck-ATC-FOC collaborative systems within the context of advanced automation and new procedures. In order to design and implement systems that will realize

The Navigation Reference System (NRS) and NRS waypoints were developed as part of the high altitude airspace redesign efforts to support area navigation and the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) initiative. NRS waypoints are RNAV waypoints which form a grid and are identified through the intersection of lines of latitude and longi

Commercial aviation has become an integral part of modern society and enables unprecedented global connectivity by increasing rapid business, cultural, and personal connectivity. In the decades following World War II, passenger travel through commercial aviation quickly grew at a rate of roughly 8% per year globally. The FAA’s most recent Terminal

Day-Night Average A-weighted Sound Pressure Level (DNL) is used currently to define noise contours around airports and the 65 DNL contour is used as a criterion to determine qualification for noise insulation programs. There is concern that this metric with penalties for noise occurring at night does not adequately account for annoyance or broader
...
Airports around the nation are considering expansion plans in order to meet increasing demand for aviation transport. There are increasing concerns, as well, about how and to what extent air pollutant emissions from airports contribute to local and regional air quality degradation and hence to negative impacts on human health and welfare. However,

Numerous accidents and incidents have occurred over the past decade where a contributing factor was lack of support, or even an incompatibility, between cockpit system design and the flight procedures which needed to be flown in the current airspace. Several reports reveal pilot errors where they were trying to get the automation to perform a parti
...
This paper describes the field tests of a congestion control strategy at Boston Logan International Airport. The approach determines a suggested rate to meter pushbacks from the gate, in order to prevent the airport surface from entering congested states and to reduce the time that fights spend with engines on while taxiing to the runway.

Construction of meteorological and other towers in rural areas throughout the United States is a concern to many in the aviation industry. Often these towers do not have lights or other marking devices, and they are just under 200 feet tall, falling outside FAA regulations governing tall structures. The dull color and small footprint can make these

This report provides practical technical guidance on procedures and technologies to reduce the use of aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids (ADAF) while maintaining safe aircraft operations across the wide range of winter weather conditions found in the United States and Canada. This guidance is presented as (1) a series of best management practic

The authors evaluate the impact of an economy-wide cap-and-trade policy on U.S. aviation taking the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R.2454) as a representative example. They use an economy-wide model to estimate the impact of H.R. 2454 on fuel prices and economic activity, and a partial equilibrium model of the aviation industry t

The FAA Aerospace Forecasts are developed to support budget and planning needs of the FAA. The forecasts are developed using statistical models to explain and incorporate emerging trends of the different segments of the aviation industry.
Building on 75 years of experience, the FAA’s aviation and space education outreach program is earning an A+ for encouraging elementary, secondary, and even college students to study math, science, technology, engineering, and a host of other disciplines. Dedicated to educating today’s youth about the aerospace career opportunities available to the

Shifts in vehicle design trends due to aviation CO2 emission metrics are explored. The combined effects of traditional performance and stringent environmental constraints on several vehicle design spaces are observed, in the presence of future technologies. Potential design implications and unintended consequences of candidate metrics are identifie
...
This paper discusses and demonstrates a capability that has been developed to rapidly quantify the interdependencies among aviation-related noise, emissions, and associated environmental impact of new technologies and aircraft, in addition to the sensitivity of fleet forecasts, in an interactive, dynamic tool.
