Ground and Obstacle Avoidance Operational Concept

Abstract

A requirement for the National Airspace System (NAS) is to provide for detecting the need for and assisting in ground and obstacle avoidance activities, as identified in the NAS System Requirement Specification, NAS-SR- 1000. This document presents a concept of operations for ground and obstacle avoidance. It describes ground and obstacle avoidance assistance capabilities and shows the relationships between subsystems, facilities, information, and operators/users. It is intended to provide a common perspective for personnel involved in ground and obstacle avoidance activities, assist in determining whether the ground and obstacle avoidance activities meet formal requirements, and support coordination among the organizations involved. Keywords: Air traffic control, Operational concept.
