Abstract:

This paper describes the background information and provides a status update on a ; specific aspect of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wake turbulence program ; known as RECAT (i.e., Recategorization). The fundamental premise of RECAT is that, ; instead of using the existing FAA Order JO 7110.65 categorical wake turbulence separation ; minima based on maximum takeoff weight, wake separation can be refined using a more ; complete set of wake related parameters. This process then leads to a safe reduction of wake ; turbulence separation minima over those specified in FAA Order JO 7110.65. This paper ; describes the overall three-phased approach of RECAT, with the ultimate goal of achieving ; dynamic pairwise separation. Currently, Phase II, or a static pairwise based wake ; turbulence separation is ready for implementation by the Federal Aviation Administration. ; The paper describes the analysis approach, including the data sources and severity metrics ; used in the development of RECAT Phase II.
