Progress to NextGen Avoided Delay Metric Presented to: NAS Performance Workshop By: Dan Murphy Date: September 7, 2007 Federal Aviation Administration Metrics Needs • NextGen plans for 2025 • OEP focused on the mid-term • NextGen near-term benefits Progress to NextGen September 7, 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 2 Ja nM 00 ay -0 Se 0 p0 Ja 0 nM 01 ay -0 Se 1 p0 Ja 1 nM 02 ay -0 Se 2 p0 Ja 2 nM 03 ay -0 Se 3 p0 Ja 3 nM 04 ay -0 Se 4 p0 Ja 4 nM 05 ay -0 Se 5 p0 Ja 5 nM 06 ay -0 Se 6 p0 Ja 6 n07 Performance Metric (minutes) Scheduled Block Time 3 2 1 Progress to NextGen September 7, 2007 Avg Scheduled Blocktime (TTM*) 0 -1 -2 -3 Federal Aviation Administration 3 Total Delay Measure • Schedule Delay – Airlines compensate for routine system delays. • Modeling – Total System Delay – Allows us to know full range of delays and where they occur.

Progress to NextGen September 7, 2007 * 2007 includes data through July. Federal Aviation Administration 15 Target Setting Risks • Projected delays depend upon projected demand • Demand may not materialize • Delays depend upon where demand occurs – Overall growth projections may be accurate – Growth projections are less accurate at airport level – Delays at constrained airports very sensitive to demand • Targets must be conservative Progress to NextGen September 7, 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 16 Issues • Projections require: – FACT 2 capacity assumptions – Timeline of NextGen capacity improvements • Target setting must be conservative – Use low end of predicted growth range for key airports (e.g. ORD) • NextGen initiatives lack detail – What is capacity impact of each initiative?
