Procedure Automation Rating MatrixThe National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Campaign (NC) is researching the means by which future Urban Air Mobility (UAM) aircraft will operate safely in an integrated and scalable airspace architecture. Consistent with this objective, the NASA NC Airspace Procedures team designed a matrix to evaluate UAM instrument flight procedure design, flyability and interoperability of candidate departure, enroute, and approach architectures in live flight or simulation. The Procedure Automation Rating Matrix (PARM) is a multi-dimensional rating scale designed to provide direct feedback from test pilots and operators to airspace procedure designers developing airspace constructs for the integration and scalability of AAM operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). The PARM is assessed using a hierarchical decision tree that guides the operator through a ten-point alpha-numeric rating scale initiated either with or without the use of automation.
