Independent Orbiter Assessment (IOA): Assessment of the rudder/speed brake subsystem FMEA/CIL

The results of the Independent Orbiter Assessment (IOA) of the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Critical Items List (CIL) are presented. The IOA effort first completed an analysis of the Rudder/Speed Brake (RSB) hardware, generating draft failure modes and potential critical items. To preserve independence, this analysis was accomplished without reliance upon the results contained within the NASA FMEA/CIL documentation. The IOA results were then compared to the NASA FMEA/CIL baseline along with the proposed Post 51-L CIL updates included. A resolution of each discrepancy from the comparison was provided through additional analysis as required. This report documents the results of that comparison for the Orbiter RSB hardware. The IOA product for the RSB analysis consisted of 38 failure mode worksheets that resulted in 27 potential critical items being identified. Comparison was made to the NASA baseline which consisted of 34 FMEAs and 18 CIL items. This comparison produced agreement on all CIL items. Based on the Pre 51-L baseline, all non-CIL FMEAs were also in agreement.

Ramp Traffic Console (RTC) Ramp Manager Traffic Console (RMTC) Observer Mode User Manual

This document serves as a user manual for the Observer Mode Ramp Traffic Console (RTC) in Charlotte Douglas International Airport Ramp Control Tower. It describes the elements of the full RTC interface and provides explanations for how to interact with the RTC while managing ramp traffic using one of the four RTC sector displays. The RTC provides digitally updated data for all flights including Earliest Off Block Times (EOBT) and Traffic Management Initiatives. Use of the RTC in observer mode allows only for observer and reading of data provided on RTC. In Observer Mode, the RTC may not be used to make data entries. This includes pushback, holds, and proceed inputs as well as updates to a flights data using the flight menu. However, using the RTC in Observer Mode allows for real time observation of ramp operations including pushback and hold entries made by the ramp sector controllers. The pushback advisories and Traffic Management Initiative information is also provided in Observer Mode. The RTC also provides notifications, runway departure counts and lists and near arrival flight lists as additional sources of information for management of ramp traffic. There are also detailed instructions for how to manage traffic with Surface Time Based Metering (STBM) advisories provided on RTC if in STBM mode. This document also provides instructions for use of the Ramp Manager Traffic Console (RMTC) while performing ramp manager functions such as managing the priority flight list, setting ramp status, and setting the metering mode. The RTC and RMTC ramp tool are one component of a suite of ATD-2 Tools.
