DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 

General Aviation and Vertical Flight Technology Program Office 
Meeting on Rotorcraft Local Differential Global Positioning System 
(GPS) Precision Approach Project

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public to a 
meeting being conducted by the FAA's General Aviation and Vertical 
Flight Technology Program Office to address issues necessary to proceed 
with a rotorcraft local differential global positioning system (GPS) 
precision approach project. This project's primary focus will be to 
establish instrument criteria based upon: (1) Aircraft systems for 
reduced pilot workload, improved cockpit instrumentation, enhanced low-
speed aircraft handling characteristics, and especially, (2) precision 
guidance capabilities of local differential GPS. The FAA, as part of 
this project, intends to establish a joint government/industry research 
and development team to fully address pertinent vertical flight issues 
associated with local differential GPS precision approach capabilities 
and requirements.

DATES: The meeting will be November 30 and December 1, 1994 from 8 a.m. 
to 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Stouffer Concourse Hotel,
