The Federal Aviation Administration released an update to its NextGen Implementation Plan on 2009 With its internal NextGen planning well defined, the agency will now focus on developing parallel commitments with the aviation community, particularly on avionics equipage. To support this, the RTCA, an industry association that serves as a federal advisory committee, has launched a NextGen Implementation Task Force in partnership with the FAA. This RTCA-sponsored task force will offer recommendations on how to get the most benefits from the NextGen mid-term operational capabilities. The plan provides
* Mid-Term Avionics Requirements: The Plan defines the core set of avionics that support the NextGen operational capabilities that will be deployed by 2018. NextGen benefits will be maximized when the majority of operators are properly equipped. While these avionics will also support capabilities implemented beyond 2018, additional equipage may be necessary to take advantage of capabilities introduced beyond the mid-term. * Governing Principles for Equipage: The Plan defines the governing principles that will guide upcoming conversations with operators on ways to accelerate mid-term equipage. The principles span potential operational, financial, and regulatory actions. * Implementation Commitments: (PDF) The Plan summarizes the agency’s NextGen implementation commitments for the next five years. It also highlights applied research, engineering, and demonstration activities in fiscal year 2009 that will help the agency make decisions on commitments for the following five years, and beyond. * Operational Description and Benefits: The Plan describes how the NAS will operate in 2018, when all mid-term operational capabilities are in place. It also discusses the modeling and simulation tools the FAA is using to assess NextGen’s benefits. * Technical Details: The agency has also updated its NAS Enterprise Architecture. Published on January 30, the architecture contains detailed, technical roadmaps for NextGen’s mid-term operational capabilities
