  2. Presentation Contents Background What is ASPIRE and its purpose? ASPIRE membership What are the goals of ASPIRE? ASPIRE Strategic Plan ASPIRE Flight Concept The Way Ahead

  3. Background APEC Environmental Summit in Singapore in September 2007. Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) collaboration could help airlines reduce their fuel burn and emissions. Holistic approach involving coordination of all phases of flight ASPIRE ‘Joint Statement’ signed in Singapore in Feb 2008 between US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Airservices Australia and Airways NZ Demonstration flights started in September 2008

  4. What is ASPIRE? ASPIRE is a forum for collaboration where the air navigation service provider (ANSP) partners will engage with governments, airlines and other stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact of aviation throughout Asia and the South Pacific through technological innovation and best practice air traffic management

  5. Goals implementation of operational procedures on Asia Pacific flights world-wide interoperability of procedures and standards capitalise on existing technology and best practices develop shared environmental performance metrics provide a systematic approach to ensure milestones are achieved and key risks are managed communicateASPIRE goals and achievements

  6. ASPIRE Partnership The current ASPIRE partners (FAA, Airservices Australia and Airways NZ) have approved expansion of the ASPIRE partnership in 2009/10 2009 - Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (October) 2010 – Civil Aviation Authority Singapore Focus will be on adding key strategic partners in the future who are prepared to: Promote best practices for environmental stewardship Take a leadership role in development of new technologies and procedures 6

  7. The ASPIRE Strategic Plan Strategic plan was released in Oct 2008 by the ASPIRE partners 3 primary components: Recommended ANSP Best Practices in Asia and the South Pacific Fuel and emissions metrics and reporting The ASPIRE Work Program “A”

  8. ASPIRE Recommended Best Practices Asia and SoPac procedures, practices or services that have demonstrated success in the reduction of fuel burn and emissions Examples include: User Preferred Routes Dynamic Airborne Reroute Procedures Performance Based Navigation (PBN) Separation Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) Optimized Profile Descents

  9. ASPIRE Performance Measurement Recognition of the need to develop end-to-end performance measurements for fuel and emissions, including: Calculate the benefits of SoPac enhancements (e.g. 30/30, RVSM) Establish current baseline performance Develop the “Perfect Flight” benchmark 9

  10. ASPIRE Work Program A Work Program A was initiated in June 2008 by the initial ASPIRE partners to focus on South Pacific efforts The Work Program promotes new or expanding initiatives with potential to reduce emissions 10

  11. ASPIRE Work Program A (cont) Work Program A initiatives include: Development of the performance model The “ASPIRE Flight” demonstration program Enhancement of the Dynamic Airborne Reroute Procedures Oceanic In-Trail Procedures Oceanic separation below 30/30 Coastal Tailored Arrivals 11

  12. The ASPIRE Flight Concept 3 Flight demos between the US and Australia/New Zealand Flights have demonstrated a snapshot of the maximum potential for environmental efficiency: Using today’s technology and procedures, and Removing controllable constraints The ASPIRE flights are media events involving VIP’s from airlines, industry and ANSP’s Press coverage before, during and after each flight 12

  13. ASPIRE Flight Components Gate to Gate demonstrations, involving: No-Delay taxi to the runway Unimpeded climb-out on departure User Preferred Route for the oceanic phase of flight Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) Cruise Climb Variable optimized speed RNP-4 oceanic separation minima (30/30) Dynamic Airborne Reroutes (DARP) Tailored Arrival to the approach No-Delay taxi to the gate 13

  14. ASPIRE Flights    14

  15. ASPIRE – Air New Zealand Air New Zealand B777 from Auckland to SFO Successfully Conducted Sept. 12, 2008 Operational Notes: Flight fully executed each planned ASPIRE optimization event A single dynamic reroute (DARP) was performed in Auckland airspace An additional DARP was evaluated, but was not needed Flight was able to fly a complete Tailored Arrival into SFO 15

  16. ASPIRE – Air New Zealand 16

  17. ASPIRE – Qantas Qantas Airlines, A380 from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia Successfully Conducted October 20th, 2008 Operational Notes: Successfully executed every planned operational element except the dynamic reroute (DARP) Ground optimization at LAX limited by special A380 handling requirements Flight was routed direct to the oceanic gateway, bypassing airspace restrictions Attempted the DARP in Oakland airspace, but the aircraft was unable to downlink the dynamic route request 17

  18. ASPIRE – Qantas 18

  19. ASPIRE – United United Airlines, B744 from Sydney to San Francisco Successfully Conducted Nov 14th, 2008 Operational Notes: Flight fully executed each planned ASPIRE optimization event A dynamic reroute (DARP) was performed in Oakland airspace Flight was able to fly a complete Tailored Arrival into SFO The flight was met at SFO by California Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger 19

  20. ASPIRE – United 20

  21. Summary Fuel Savings Flight in Sept 3500 Flight in Sept 11,200 Flight in Oct 8900 Flight in Oct 28,000 Flight in Nov 4800 Flight in Nov 15,000 Fuel Carbon (in kilos) Fuel Saved (in kilos) “Perfect Flight” Savings Demonstrations were part of ASPIRE initiative

  22. ASPIRE status The ASPIRE Partners have published the first ASPIRE Annual Report The report includes: Status on ASPIRE Work Program Data from performance measurements Outcomes of ASPIRE flight demonstrations ASPIRE Chair handed to Airservices Australia ASPIRE Website 22

  23. ASPIRE Wins Jane’s ATC Global Award Any Questions? Also see contacts from ASPIRE Partners at http://www.aspire-green.com/mediapub/default.asp 23
