B1-70 Increased Runway Throughput through
Dynamic Wake Turbulence Separation

• Wake vortex separation can be reduced under
  certain crosswind conditions.
• This upgrade requires
• Tactical Wind Prediction and Monitor function
  (for next departure)
• Strategic Weather function (for planning horizon)
• Stability of operation to ensure
  usability/reliability

Challenges - How to Get There?

• Budget considerations are greater for Block 1
  since these modules do involve technology
  insertion in either ground/air or both.
• Block 1 has a strong dependency on moving to
  network based communications for aviation.
• There are regional synchronization issues of
  equipage and capabilities to achieve much of
  Block 1. This is essential to the successful
  implementation to the future Blocks.
• Global standards can alleviate such risks and
  ensure interoperability between regional ANSPs.
  Global standards also offers stakeholders a
  common rubric.
