PACOTS Track F UPR Trial • Operational Trial began July 25, 2013, to allow Track F UPRs at least 50 nm south of PACOTS Tracks C & E. • Remain 50 nm South of Track E and Normal UPR Guidelines. • Guidelines published in KZAK NOTAM A 3212/13 and Oakland Website. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 2

Merging PACOTS Tracks C and E Federal Aviation Administration

Operational Trial • March 13, 2013 began a 1 year operational trial of Merging Tracks C and E when it provided an advantage. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 4

Procedural Proposal • This operational trial was a hybrid of different Pacific Oceanic Procedures. • Allow the merging of PACOTS Tracks C and E in the Oakland or Anchorage FIRs when it provides a savings advantage. • IPACG: Only merge PACOTS when there is at least a 200 lbs fuel savings. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 5

Track Advisory • When PACOTS Tracks C and E are merged; • Track Advisory is used to manage the merging traffic at the point where the routes converged. • http: //www. faa. gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/ service_units/enroute/oceanic/pacific_track_advisory IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 6

Track Advisory • When PACOTS Tracks C and E are not merged: – Oceanic Gateway Fix is the Start of the PACOTS Track as is currently done. • When PACOTS Tracks C and E are merged: – Oceanic Gateway Fix is the Merge point of Tracks C and E • If the merge point is a Waypoint, that will be the Gateway Fix. • If the merge point is a Lat/Long, the Gateway Fix for Track Advisory will be coded. – 41 W 40 = 41 N/140 W • The Latitude is always North and the leading 1 is dropped from the Longitude. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 7

• Implementing Merged Track C and E Tracks • When Track C and E are merged, the TDM will have “RMK/MERGE USE (point) FOR TRK ADVISORY GRL” A 0284/13 - (TDM TRK E 130122190001 1301221900 1301230800 BOXER FULMR FASEL 52 N 140 W 55 N 150 W 56 N 160 W 56 N 170 W ALDOZ ONEIL OPAKE OLCOT OPHET OGDEN OMOTO RTS/KSFO MOLEN BOXER KLAX RZS LIBBO BRINY BOARS BOXER OMOTO R 580 OATIS RMK/MERGE USE ONEIL FOR TRK ADVISORY GRL).

Track Advisory • Operators flight planning a merged Track C/E from the starting point would request a Gateway reservation (TKF) prior to 1650 UTC. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 10

Merged Track C and E Operational Trial • OF THE FIRST 38 DAYS OF THE OPERATIONAL TRIAL; • TRACKS C & E MERGED 14 DAYS. • AVERAGE FUEL SAVINGS PER FLIGHT WAS 1120 LBS (10 DAYS) IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 11

Merging Tracks C & E Difficulties • April 22 -25, 2013 Oakland encountered difficulties with merging traffic on PACOTS Tracks C and E. • There were numerous traffic conflictions that required Oakland to negotiate with Japan and Anchorage for the use of Nonstandard altitudes. • If traffic did not permit the use on Nonstandard altitudes in Anchorage or Fukuoka FIRs, altitude assignments would have been significantly affected IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 12

Merging Tracks C & E Difficulties • On April 26, 2013, Oakland suspended the Operational Trial to merge PACOTS Tracks C and E. • Oakland discovered several irregularities with the Track Advisory requested reservations: IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 13

4/22 -25 Track Advisory Issues IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 14

Moving Forward C/E Trial • Operators must be better at meeting their Gateway Fix reservation times. • Merging C/E requires the use of Non. Standard Altitudes. – Not an issue for NOPAC – Mix of Aircraft types – Gateway time errors IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 15

Moving Forward C/E Trial • When the PACOTS Tracks C and E would merge, Oakland will coordinate with the next facility for the use of Non-Standard Altitudes for the next day. • If approval for the use of the necessary Non. Standard altitudes can be obtained, the tracks will be published with a merge. • If approval for the use of the necessary Non. Standard altitudes cannot be obtained, the tracks will be published without a merge in the Oakland FIR. IPACG 38 Meeting February 5 -6, 2014 16
