DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Situational Awareness for Safety Systems Requirements Team
Meeting
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The concept of Situational Awareness for Safety (SAS) includes
the exchange and use of GPS position, terrain, weather, and other
information, effectively displayed to pilots, dispatchers, and
controllers, to create an environment promoting more efficient, safe,
and free use of airspace. This information exchange and use will
contribute to an environment that will facilitate implementation of the
emerging free flight concept. SAS is not a capability envisioned
exclusively for air carriers, but applies to small general aviation and
air taxi as well as large air carrier aircraft. This notice announces a
meeting to solicit information from the aviation community concerning
flight standards and procedural applications based on advances in human
factors, cognitive pilot decision making, computer and display
technology, precision navigation, data link, and aviation weather
systems. The information is requested to assist the Situational
Awareness for Safety Systems Requirements Team (SAS-SRT) in forming the
requirements for Basic and Advanced Situational Awareness for Safety
Systems. The focus of this government/industry team will be the
validation of previously identified ``fast track'' avionics
applications and the identification of FAA activities necessary to
enable the implementation and operational use of these technologies.
DATES: The meeting will be held on October 26, 1995, from 8:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Virginia Center for
Innovative Technology, 2214 Rock Hill Road, Herndon, Virginia.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Mark Cato, Crown Communications, Inc., 1850 K Street, NW., Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 10(a)(2) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C. app. II), notice is
hereby given of a meeting to solicit information from the aviation
community concerning flight standards, and procedural applications
based on advances in human factors, cognitive pilot decision making,
computer and display technology, precision navigation, data link, and
aviation weather systems. The information is requested to assist SAS-
SRT in its deliberations with regard to a task assigned to SAS-SRT by
the Federal Aviation Administration. Specifically the task is as
follows:
Develop guidance, standards, and procedures that will: foster
implementation of Situational Awareness for Safety (SAS) Systems;
develop standards for the manufacture of equipment, hardware,
software, and operational procedures; and coordinate validation of
the SAS concept. SAS graphically displays aircraft position,
terrain, weather, and other information, to pilots, dispatchers, and
controllers. This information exchange will contribute to an
environment that will promote an efficient and safe National
Airspace System.
Attendance is open to the interested public, but may be limited to
the space available. In addition, sign and oral interpretation can be
made available at the meeting, as well as an assistive listening
device, if requested 10 calendar days before the meeting.
Arrangements may be made by contacting the meeting coordinator
listed under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 26, 1995.
James I. McDaniel,
Product Lead, Situational Awareness for Safety.
