Sept. 1st Airspace Working Group: Why Corridors? Recap

• Guest Speaker: Andy Lacher, Boeing NeXT

• Corridor Concept Poll – 52% in favor / 48% not in favor

• Start with corridors/routes and work towards transition to more scalable and flexible operations– Agree on definitions, architecture

• Engage early with FAA on notional routes and community engagement plan

• Address Cooperative Conflict Management, e.g. VFR traffic crossing corridors with vertical squeeze and runway constraints– Speeds, climb rates, overtakes, landing and departure, wake vortex, wind shear,

weather

• Consider contingency plans and emergency landing locations in corridor design

• Work together as a community to establish CBRs
