NASA SESATS Program Objectives

• HVO (High Volume Operations)
• Airport Impact on non towered only would
  require installation of
• a data link ground station and an Airport
  Management Module.
• (Concept Proved but a long way from FAA
  Certification)
• . LLM (Lower Landing Minimums)
• Greatest immediate benefit to small
  airports. Improve lighting, weather briefing
  situational awareness.
• (Many projects some nearing certification
  to benefit airports)
• . SPP (Single Pilot Performance)
• (Mostly in aircraft avionics Pilot
  Associate, Smart Deck)
• . ERO (En route Operations)
• (Procedural changes little affect on airport
  infrastructure)
