Federal Aviation Optimization of Airspace Administration and Procedures in the Metroplex SoCal Metroplex Lake Arrowhead Presentation January 25, 2018 T o: Lake Arrowhead Municipal Advisory Council By: Dennis Roberts, FAA Regional Administrator 1 Federal Aviation 1 Administration
Why We Un Under ertook ook the Moder ernization on Proj ojec ect • Modernization was needed because many of the air traffic procedures in Southern California were decades old. While they were all safe, some were inefficient because they relied on ground-based navigation aids, which limit available flight paths. • Satellite-based procedures allow for more optimized routing with fixed routes, altitudes and speeds. • Their precise flight tracks help keep routes de-conflicted. This in turn reduces the need for controllers to vector aircraft and o reduces controller-pilot communications. • The modernization work that the FAA is doing nationwide is laying the foundation for future safety and efficiency improvements.
