Hey! Hi! Are you with the NASA Road Rally? 00:00:00

Yeah, come on up. 00:00:05

Alright. 00:00:06

Hi, I'm Dick Houchen, and this is Charles Howell. 00:00:07

Hi! 00:00:13

Hi, nice to meet you. 00:00:14

Hello. 00:00:15

Hello. 00:00:16

You did a good job in navigating here. 00:00:17

It was as easy as a video game. 00:00:18

Right. Well, listen, here's our logbook. Now, according to the Road Rally rules, we're supposed 00:00:20

to learn some information from you on GPS navigation. So, our question is, NASA, how 00:00:26

is NASA helping to improve navigation tools for aircraft? 00:00:32

Well, we have been investigating the use of GPS to help an aircraft navigate on the airport 00:00:37

surface using GPS navigation, particularly in bad weather and foggy conditions. Here 00:00:43

is an example of how this happens. As a NASA 757 approaches a runway, computer-generated 00:00:49

graphics outline the correct runway and its precise location on a head-up display mounted 00:00:56

between the pilot and the windscreen. Upon contact to the ground, a head-down moving 00:01:02

map display shows the pilot his or her location on the runway and the taxiway system, as well 00:01:07

as the location of all other aircraft. The aircraft location is provided by the GPS 00:01:14

satellite navigation system. Digital data link communications are used between the pilot 00:01:20

and air traffic controller, greatly eliminating the possibility of miscommunication. Using 00:01:25

this system, taxi speeds can be increased by as much as 25%. Such a system will play 00:01:31

a role in helping reach the goal of tripling our nation's aviation system capacity while 00:01:38

maintaining safety in all weather conditions. Dick and Charles, thank you so much for your 00:01:43

time today. This has been so interesting. This whole road rally has been fun and informative. 00:01:49

Thank you so much for sharing with us today. You're very welcome. We'll see you. Bye-bye. 00:01:55

You know, Shelley, it's really amazing how GPS keeps pilots on track in the sky, sort 00:02:03

of like managing flight traffic in a way not unlike the traffic signal Garrett A. Morgan 00:02:07

invented for the ground. Yeah, Morgan had a great respect for education, which he used 00:02:12

to help others. 00:02:16
