Key Capabilities:Network Enabled Information Access • Network Enabled Operations (NEO) • Network Enabled Infrastructure (NEI) • Network Enabled Weather (NEW)
Net-centric weather information is made available and understandable to all approved users A reliable virtual, common weather picture is foundational for optimal air transportation decision-making Presentation of weather data is tailored to user operational needs Widespread use of integrated probabilistic weather-related decision support systems Automatic updates to users based on operational need An adaptive observing system integrating ground, airborne and spaced-based sensors Key Capabilities:Weather Assimilated into Decision Making
Key Capabilities:Layered Adaptive Security • Adaptive Security for People, Cargo, Airports and Aircraft • Risk Assessment-Driven Evaluation and Response • Positive Identification for People and Cargo • Preventive Threat Detection and Mitigation
Key Capabilities:Position, Navigation and Timing Services (PNT) • Air routes are independent of the location of ground-based navigation aids • RNAV is used everywhere; RNP is used where required • System performance meets operational needs to service the demand • Increased availability of guided approaches at smaller airports* *Mostly for general aviation with lower minimums
Key Capabilities:Aircraft Trajectory-Based Operations Services and Operations based on precise trajectory execution • Self-Separation Services • Flow Corridors • Super Density Arrival/Departure Airspace
Key Capabilities:Equivalent Visual Operations • Improved information availability which allows aircraft operations without regard to visibility • Access to PNT enables increased accessibility for airport surface and arrival/departure operations • Enables more predictable and efficient operations regardless of meteorological conditions
Key Capabilities:Super Density Operations • Use of RNP operations and procedures • Mitigation of wake vortex constraints • Improved runway incursion prevention algorithms • Automatic distribution of runway braking action reports • Distribution of taxi instructions before landing • Use of aircraft sensors
Benefits of End-State NextGen Based upon FAA estimates of $2,736/hour of airline direct operating costs, includes variable (fuel is assumed to cost $722/hour) and fixed costs (such as depreciation), and $1,090/hour of general aviation direct operating costs (GA fuel is assumed to cost $114/hour). Assumes 36,000 airline flights/day, 16,000 general aviation IFR flights/day. Assumes all flights accrue the benefits. Benefits across flight phases are not additive due to overlapping assumptions and correlation.
