APEC Seminar on Practical Measures to Manage
Aviation Emissions Collaboration on Aviation
Emissions Reduction Partnerships
Presented by Federal Aviation
Administration April 3-4, 2008 Kuala Lumpur,

Overview

• Global Aviation and the Environment
• Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce
  Emissions (AIRE)
• Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce
  Emissions (ASPIRE)

Global Aviation and the Environment

• The air transportation industry is essential for
  future economic growth and development, as
  aircraft carry approximately 40 of the value of
  all world trade.
• Last year 2.2 billion people flew on the worlds
  airlines, more passengers than ever before, with
  predictions of 9 billion passengers by 2025
• The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
  Climate Change (IPCC) attributes nearly 3 of
  global greenhouse gas emission (mostly from
  carbon) to aviation
• As global aviation continues to grow and become a
  vital part of the worldwide economy, pressure to
  address environmental impacts will increase

4
ICAO Strategic Objectives

• In Support of ICAOS Strategic Objectives
• Minimize the adverse effect of Global Civil
  Aviation on the environment
• Enhance the efficiency of aviation operations

5
AIRE Background

• Hasten development of operational procedures to
  reduce aviations environmental foot print on a
  gate-to-gate basis
• Quantify environmental benefits to aid in
  formulation of potential business cases

• Accelerate incorporation and worldwide
  interoperability of procedures/standards
• Capitalize on existing technology on either side
  of Atlantic
• Identify implementation issues, obstacles, choke
  points, metrics and solutions

AIRE Progress to Date

• AIRE Agreement announced at Paris Air Show in
  June 2007
• Initial FAA AIRE program plan published in
  December 2007
• Continued planning on FY08 operational concept
  demos to show reduced engine emissions
• Continuous Descent Arrivals at Atlanta and Miami
  (May 2008)
• Tailored arrivals at Miami (May 2008)
• Surface enhancements at New York (JFK) and
  Memphis (Sept 2008)
• Oceanic enhancements in the Atlantic (Sept 2008)

Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce
Emissions (ASPIRE)

• After the launch of AIRE in June 2007, a
  counterpart program in the Asia Pacific region
  was envisioned to leverage the efforts of
  existing North and South Pacific informal working
  groups (IPACG and ISPACG) and encourage a
  stronger focus on environmental benefits
• This Asia Pacific program became known as the
  Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce
  Emissions, or ASPIRE
• High level statement on ASPIRE collaboration was
  signed on February 18, 2008 in Singapore between
  the FAA, Airservices Australia, and Airways New
  Zealand.
• Extended participation is needed and encouraged
  from Asia Pacific ANSPs, airlines and industry in
  order to fully progress operational emissions
  reduction initiatives.
• Initial ASPIRE efforts will focus on South
  Pacific initiatives, with future expansion to the
  North Pacific and the rest of the Asia Pacific
  region.

ASPIRE Objectives

• Hasten development of operational procedures to
  reduce aviations environmental foot print on a
  gate-to-gate basis covering each stage of
  airport operations surface, departure, en route,
  arrival.
• Accelerate incorporation and worldwide
  interoperability of procedures/standards.
• Capitalize on existing technology in place across
  the Pacific.
• Provide a systematic approach which combines a
  set of short, medium, and long-term initiatives
  to enhance environmental and efficiency
  performance.
• Better identify issues, obstacles, choke points,
  metrics and solutions through cross-fertilization
  of demonstrations, development and flight trials
  in the Asia Pacific region.

12
ASPIRE Candidate Initiatives

• Performance Metrics
• User Preferred Route (UPR) Expansion
• Dynamic Airborne Reroute Programs (DARP)
• Tailored Arrivals
• End-to-End Demonstration

13
Performance Metrics

• Highest priority initiative projected under
  ASPIRE
• Metrics will catalog the efficiency and emissions
  gains to date since the introduction of the
  following South Pacific initiatives
• Dynamic Airborne Reroute Program (DARP)
• User Preferred Routes (UPR)
• 30nm lateral/30nm longitudinal separation
• Goal is to formalize emission gains so far and to
  create a common baseline for future work
• Requires participation and data from all ASPIRE
  partners

Dynamic Airborne Reroute Programs (DARP)
16
Oceanic Tailored Arrivals

• Comprehensive trajectory based arrival clearance
  to a coastal destination airport using FANS
  Datalink

• Trials are underway at San Francisco
• Atlantic coastal trials planned for 2008
• Future implementation in coastal destinations
  will be based on 2008 trials and analysis
