NextGen Priorities
Delivering Operational Capabilities in the next 3 years
•
FAA and Industry have worked together for the past 6 months to
focus in on some top priorities
1.
2.
3.
4.
Closely Spaced Parallel Runway Operations
Performance Based Navigation Operations
Surface Operations
Data Communications Service Delivery in the Terminal Areas
•
We have unprecedented cooperation inside the agency and with our
aviation industry colleagues
•
The result of this collaboration will be reflected in an executable joint
implementation plan that will be delivered to Congress on October
17th, 2014
•
The plan will provide specific FAA commitments as well as Industry
commitments and ensure implementation and associated delivery of
measurable benefits of these priority capabilities
