From page 66...
... Recommendation 1-1. Aircraft wake vortex characteristics of transport airplanes operating in the national airspace system should be assessed using the best standardized techniques prior to their introduction into service, so that appropriate separation criteria may be established with regard to each new aircraft model.
From page 67...
... Federal wake turbulence research should have the following characteristics: • The FAA should be the lead agency for defining requirements for wake turbulence research. • The FAA should manage and fund capacity-focused wake turbu lence research using academic, industry, and other government partners.
From page 68...
... JPDO should conduct a detailed analysis of what wake turbulence research and development is needed to achieve its separation management capability goals, and provide a detailed plan with milestones that will lead to successful development in the required time frame. Finding 3-3.
From page 69...
... Federal wake turbulence research should engage the Weather Research and Forecasting model effort in order to identify the optimal set of weather parameters needed for predicting wake turbulence. Finding 3-9.
From page 70...
... Wake turbulence research should pursue multiple tracks, with the goal of a robust, stable program that will provide continuing reductions in aircraft spacing as new ideas and technologies are developed and proven. Recommendation 4-2.
