The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a web-based tool, Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT), to assist aircraft operators in achieving compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 91.103, 91.225, and 91.227. Depending on the specific nature of the operatorâs request, varying levels of information are necessary for the FAA to process the requests made via this tool.
The SAPT has three main tools: Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT, Automatic Dependent Surveillance â Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT, and ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT). The SAPT user may have to use one or more of these tools depending upon the nature of their request. The SAPT continually collects Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation status (e.g., GPS almanacs) and FAA surveillance status data (e.g., surveillance radars (SSR) and wide area multilateration (WAM)) in order to assess the accuracy and integrity of GPS, FAA backup surveillance availability, and other data in real time. This information is used to determine navigation or to support air traffic control services in terminal, en route airspace, and in airport surface operations. SAPT models the GPS system and matches it with certain specified GPS avionics performance characteristics to determine if there is sufficient position information predicted throughout the flight to use for navigation or surveillance.

New collection - Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a web-based tool, Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT), to assist aircraft operators in achieving compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 91.103, 91.225, and 91.227. Depending on the specific nature of the operatorâs request, varying levels of information are necessary for the FAA to process the requests made via this tool.
The collection involves aircraft operators using pre-flight availability predictions for navigation and surveillance and submitting a request for an authorization as required by 14 CFR § 91.225(g) from air traffic control (ATC) via a web-based tool and application process. The collected information is necessary to:
1) Predict whether an aircraft flying the proposed route of flight will have sufficient position accuracy and integrity for:
a) Navigation, via the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT
b) Surveillance, via the Automatic Dependent Surveillance â Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT
2) Allow operators to request authorization, via ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool (ADAPT), from ATC to operate aircraft that do not fully meet ADS-B Out equipage or performance requirements (per 14 CFR §§ 91.225 and 91.227), in airspace that requires ADS-B Out (per 14 CFR § 91.225).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
