Federal AviationAdministrationProblem Statement

We enjoy the safest Air Traffic System in the World

However: It is approaching saturation

It has limits in responding to todays changing needsIt is based on 1950s Technology

Challenge: Transform the Air Traffic System to make it scalable

and flexible by injecting 21st Century TechnologyWITHOUT disrupting the service quality and level ofsafety enjoyed today

The Next Generation Air Transportation system, or NextGen, is a

complete transformation of the National Airspace System

Enhanced Safety

Increased Capacity and Efficiency

Reduced Aviations Environmental Impact

It is the biggest change in the history of aviation and it will touchevery element of the aviation community

NextGen is the Answer

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has established NextGenas a priority, describing the transformation of the national

airspace system as important for the flying public.

Required Navigation Performance (RNP)

RNP is RNAV with the additional requirement ofOnBoard Performance Monitoring and Alerting


12/25





Going Green - Optimal Profile Descent Arrivals

Also know as Continuous Descent Arrivals (CDA), these approachesallow aircraft to descend with the shortest route at a minimum power

setting:

Reduce noise impact on residential communities surroundingairports Reduce fuel burn

Decrease carbon emissions

Recent demonstrations of oceanic tailored arrival procedures intoSan Francisco, 1,000+ flights collectively:

reduced CO2 emissions by 6.3 million lbs.

reduced fuel use by 2 million lbs.

The demonstrations support the developing of procedures tosupport wide range deployment of optimized arrival concepts.

Surface Surveillance and Data Sharing

Leverage installed ASDE-X infrastructure

Will provide surface traffic data sharing

Stepping stone for more robust

collaborative decision support tools

Benefits

Delay reduction

Reduced fuel burn and environmental

footprint

Improved situational awareness anddecision making

Collaborative planning at airport

Leveraging demos at JFK and MEM

Surface data sharing for ASDE-X infrastructure underway for 2010

Tools to Make It Happen NextGen Implementation Plan

The FAAs Implementation Plan is the

result of cross-agency development

It was developed by teams comprisedfrom all FAA lines of business

It was vetted through the NextGenManagement Board whose membersrepresent all FAA lines of business

It was also vetted through RTCA toensure aviation community input

Annual update issued each March

Internal Counterpart for implementationexecution

www.faa.gov/nextgen

The new plan puts a stake in

the ground regarding the

operational capabilities webelieve we can deliver withinthe next 10 years.
