AVN Function Realignment

• Effective October 2010
• Created Mission Support Services (AJV-0)
• Primary Group involving Tech Ops is now
  Aeronautical Products (AJV-3) Known to us a
  NFPO or AVN-100
• NOTAMS
• Procedure cancelation
• Alternate missed Procedures

8
AVN Function Realignment

• AVN (AJW-3) Flight Inspection, Remains in Tech
  Ops
• IFP Development, Production and Publication now
  resides in MSS (AJV-0)
• Aeronav Products (AJV-3)
• The AIRNAV database now in Aeronautical
  Information Managament (AJV-2)
• Flight Procedure Offices (FPO), now at
  Operational support Groups in the Service Areas

9
Purpose of Flight Inspection

• Evaluate signal in space correlate ground
  measurements to airborne reference
• Evaluate obstacles within flight path area
• Evaluate flight procedures for pilot workload,
  flyability and infrastructure support

10
Types of Flight Inspection

• Commissioning
• New Installations optimally configured
• New Instrument Procedures
• Periodic
• Facilities and Obstacle Assessments
• Specials
• Post Accident
• Facility Maintenance
• User Complaints (e.g., Wind Turbines)
• Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
• Combat/Contingency/Shipboard TACAN
• NextGen Implementation
• ADS-B, RNP, LPV/LP WAAS, LAAS, ASDE-X

11
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

• Aircraft are equipped with a Spectrum Analyzer
  and Direction Finder to identify RFI
• AVN works closely with the Spectrum Office to
  determine whether a Flight Check can help in
  finding RFI sources
• Many successful RFI missions have been flown
  since the Program was Initiated

12
Nextgen Initiatives

• ADS-B Coverage
• Wide Area MultiLat (WAM)
• LAAS/GBAS
• ASDE-X
• PBN Procedures (RNP LPV LNAV VNAV)

13
Scheduling Process

• Specials generate itinerary
• Congressional/ High Air Traffic Impact
• Return to service
• Provide new service
• Periodic inspections are the filler
• (dates not a factor)
• Maximize on-facility/minimize enroute

Low Priority (Filler) More weight is given to
Scheduling Efficiency. Scheduling will be fitted
in with other Workload, while trying to minimize
Enroute time
High Priority (Driver) More weight is given to
Response Time. Schedules will be created for A
