  1. U.S. FAANext Generation Air Transportation System

  2. FAA Worldwide Mission • We are 44,000 people whose Mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. • Work with ICAO and Aviation Industry elements as well in achieving this mission. March 2010

  3. NextGen Next Generation Air Transportation System A system that is based on satellite navigation and control, digital non-voice communication, and advanced networking, along with sharing of decision making between the ground and the cockpit. March 2010

  4. Why NextGen ? • The U.S. air transportation system is the largest in the world. • Over 2 million people, fly every single day, on average. • Approximately 61,000 people are airborne, on average, over the U.S. in an hour. March 2010

  5. Why NextGen ? • 181 million pounds of air cargo is carried daily in the U.S. • 600,000 Americans hold a pilot’s certificate and fly one or more of the 200,000 aircraft in the U.S. • Over 18,000 air traffic controllers handle 39 million flights each year. March 2010

  6. Benefits of NextGen: • Flight delays are reduced by 21% • providing $22 billion in benefits • Save 1.4 billion gallons of fuel • Cutting carbon emission by 14 million tons March 2010

  7. Benefits of NextGen: • Aviation = $1.3 Trillion to the U.S. economy • 5.6% of the GDP • Generated 12 million jobs • With earnings of $396 Billion • NextGen plays a critical role in our economic health March 2010

  8. NextGen Fundamental Capabilities • System Wide Information Management (SWIM) • Infrastructure that allows for network enabled information sharing of all NAS related data • NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW) • Provides a common integrated weather picture to participating stakeholders • Integrates weather into more decision making processes March 2010

  9. NextGen Fundamental Capabilities • NextGen Data Communications • Routine communications moved from voice to data allowing a single air traffic controller to safely handle more traffic • All Weather Operations • Enhanced flight vision systems (EFVS) &synthetic vision systems (SVS) enable equivalent visual operations March 2010

  10. NextGen Fundamental Capabilities • Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) • Aircraft will fly negotiated trajectories using advanced flight management systems and advanced air traffic automation • Airspace and aircraft will be managed and not controlled March 2010

  11. NextGen Fundamental Capabilities • Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) • Enables highly precise and accurate surveillance information • Performance – Based Navigation (PBN) • Area navigation (RNAV) & required navigation performance (RNP) procedures increase airspace efficiency and capacity March 2010

  12. NextGen Implementation Plan 2010 • Details of NextGen mid-term (2018) operating environment • Places greater emphasis on existing technologies and procedures • Focuses on dependencies and transformational programs www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/nextgen/ March 2010

  13. International Cooperation … A Necessity! Daily interaction with 18 foreign ANSPs March 2010
