WHITEMAN FCT ISSUED: November 1, 1997 WHITEMAN TOWER LETTER TO AIRMEN 97-01 SUBJECT: AERAS OF NON-VISIBILITY AND UNCONTROLLED GROUND TRAFFIC ON WHITEMAN AIRPORT CANCELLATION: December 1, 1999 Due to obstructions to vision and movement of uncontrolled ground vehicles and helicopter traffic, Whiteman Tower is unable to provide air traffic services in the following areas: 1. Ramp areas and taxiway located northeast of Taxiway Alpha. Helicopters utilizing the ramp areas listed above are reminded that departure/landing will be at pilot’s own risk, as these areas are not visible from the Tower. All pilots should be aware that there may be other uncontrolled aircraft and vehicles operating on the ramp and taxiways listed above. Ronald M. Swope |
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR TRAFFIC DIVISION ISSUE: February 1, 1998 SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) AND FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) STANDARD TERMINAL ARRIVALS (STAR’s) AT LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORTS CANCELLATION: April 23, 2000 The purpose of this ‘Letter to Airmen’ is to advise all pilots of an implementation strategy that utilizes satellite-based navigation to enhance the ATC system by creating RNAV GPS/FMS-based profiles to ease the transition between the en route and terminal environments for arriving aircraft at Los Angeles and San Francisco Airport. In concert and coordination with the system users, a plan was developed that utilizes the flexibility and accuracy that GPS and FMS offers in the design of arrival and departure procedures at selected airports in the National Airspace System. Since we are working the dynamics of new satellite technology, the initial phase approach called for the development of a RNAV GPS/FMS overlay program that would emulate selected STAR procedures at airports that would provide a significant benefit to the system users and providers. RNAV GPS/FMS departure procedures are in the development stage at selected airports. This plan will provide system user the flexibility and latitude of utilizing conventional or RNAV GPS/FMS procedures, depended upon its onboard avionics capabilities. As a result of this combined effort, the following RNAV overlay GPS/FMS STAR procedures will be implemented on April 23, 1998, and available at the following selected locations: Los Angeles International Airport San Francisco International Airport If you have any questions or request further information on this subject, please call the Western-Pacific Region, Air Traffic Division, Operations Branch, AWP-530 at 310-725-6536.
