Background
The FAA has committed to implementing performance-based airspace
operations. Given this commitment, there are significant issues with
industry dynamics; new technologies; new aircraft types/capabilities
and configurations and current operations; airspace use; airports;
infrastructure; economics; and the environment. These complex issues
mandate a comprehensive review and possible revision of existing
regulatory criteria and guidance materials. Where existing criteria and
guidance is inadequate or nonexistent, there will be the requirement to
develop and implement new regulatory criteria and the guidance material
needed by all stakeholders. The PARC provides a forum for the U.S.
aviation community to discuss, prioritize, and resolve issues, provide
direction for U.S. flight operations criteria, and produce U.S.
consensus positions for global harmonization. The FAA Administrator
issued the PARC charter on February 19, 2004. The PARC charter expires
February 19, 2006, unless sooner terminated or extended by the
Administrator.
Public Meeting Procedures
