National Airspace Review. Airport Radar Service Area Operational Confirmation Report.
Abstract
The Federal Aviation Administration conducted a year long operational confirmation of the Airport Radar Service Area (ARSA), a new concept in terminal airspace design and services recommended by NAR Task Group 1-2.2, in an attempt to standardize the designation of controlled airspace services, rules, and procedures within which terminal radar traffic control is provided. The objective of the operational confirmation was to assess the acceptibility of the ARSA concept at two lead sites, Port Columbus International Airport, Columbus, Ohio, and Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, Austin, Texas. This report presents the operational confirmation analysis of ARSA to determine its acceptance by users. Data collection and analysis effort was geared towards two specific types: (1) opinion survey of local pilots, controller/staff, and supervisor/management at each of the facilities and (2) lead site traffic activity profiles. Tables, runway diagrams and graphs depict information. Based on the analysis results, and the ARSA operational confirmation criteria, it is concluded that ARSA has been confirmed at Columbus, Ohio and Austin, Texas. Key words: ARSA, Airport Radar Service Area, National Airspace Review, Operational Confirmation.
