NextGen is
providing air traffic managers and pilots with the tools to proactively identify and resolve weather and other hazards
. Flying is becoming quieter, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient.
What technology does the FAA NextGen program include to make air transportation more safe and efficient?
The FAA is developing
interval management (IM) applications
that use ADS-B In to sequence and space aircraft pairs. IM’s precise spacing enables more-efficient flight paths in congested airspace and maximizes airspace and airport use.
What are some ways NextGen will improve airspace capacity?
- Adaptive Compression.
- Additional Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) Participants.
- Advanced and Efficient Required Navigation Performance.
- Airborne Access to Information Portal.
What is the purpose of NextGen?
NextGen is not one technology, product, or goal. Rather, it is a series of interlinked programs, portfolios, systems, policies, and procedures. It
implements advanced technologies and capabilities that dramatically improve the operation of the National Airspace System (NAS)
.
What are the benefits of NextGen?
Reduced Carbon Dioxide
: NextGen will reduce carbon emissions by 14 million tons by 2020. Reduced Fuel Consumption: NextGen will reduce fuel consumption by 1.4 billion gallons by 2020. Continuous Lower Energy Emissions and Noise (CLEEN): Program provides incentives for manufacturers to develop lower-noise aircraft.
What are some advantages of NextGen?
- A better travel experience for passengers and operators.
- Fuel savings for aircraft operators.
- A reduction in emissions due to more direct and efficient routes and approaches.
- Reduced separation minimums.
- Reduced congestion.
- Better communications across the airspace system and its users.
How will NextGen make receiving aircraft clearances from air traffic control more efficient?
NextGen capabilities improve aircraft operations around airports,
minimizing the need for controllers to use traditional actions to absorb delays, such as holding patterns and vectors
. This, in turn, increases the predictability of flights – a major advantage in managing flights – while reducing fuel burn.
What are the components of NextGen?
We invite you to take a closer look at all the various — and often intersecting — components of the NextGen program:
Benefits; National Airspace System (NAS); Procedures; Infrastructures; Surveillance Broadcast Services; Human Machine Interface; and Unmanned Aircraft Systems
.
What is NextGen technology?
Nextgen Technology:
An interoperability testing and development company
, Nextgen specialises in mobile telecoms, wired and wireless connectivity, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB and more. Nextgen have global outreach with offices in Europe, US, Japan, Korea, China & India.
How will NextGen improve safety?
NextGen will
allow more aircraft to safely fly closer together on more direct routes, reducing delays and providing benefits for the environment and the economy through reductions in carbon emissions, fuel consumption and noise
.
What are some ways NextGen will lessen aviation’s environmental impact?
To reduce aviation’s impact on climate change you must
reduce greenhouse emissions
. To reduce greenhouse emissions – carbon dioxide being the biggest contributor – you must reduce the amount of fuel burned. To reduce fuel burn, you must make the aircraft design more efficient.
What is ADS b out?
ADS-B Out. ADS-B Out works by
broadcasting information about an aircraft’s GPS location, altitude, ground speed and other data to ground stations and other aircraft, once per second
. Air traffic controllers and properly equipped aircraft can immediately receive this information.
What is Sesar in aviation?
Description. SESAR stands for “
Single European Sky ATM Research
”. The SESAR project (formerly known as SESAME) is the European air traffic control infrastructure modernisation programme.
How much does FAA NextGen cost?
ESTIMATED COSTS OF NEXTGEN
$1.5 billion
. Operations expenses are projected to be $3.1 billion.
What is NextGen Healthcare?
The company
develops and sells electronic health record (EHR) software and practice management systems to the healthcare industry
. NextGen Healthcare also provides population health, financial management, and clinical solutions for medical and dental practices.
What is the business model most airlines have transitioned to for maintaining their aircraft fleets?
The ‘Phased’ Maintenance Approach
These aircraft are now maintained with “phased” maintenance programs with the aim of achieving the shortest possible maintenance turnarounds.
How long has NextGen been around?
| Next Gen | Release date September 7, 2018 (United States) | Running time 105 minutes | Countries United States Canada China | Languages English Mandarin French German Spanish |
|---|
What is airspace modernization?
Modernising airspace means
updating its structural design, changing how the systems on which it runs work, and using new technology to improve how air traffic is managed
.
What is the role of FAA?
The mission of the FAA is to
provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world
. The role of the FAA Airports organization in meeting this goal is to provide leadership in planning and developing a safe and efficient national airport system to satisfy the needs of aviation interests of the United States.
What is the name of the next generation air traffic control system based on satellites?
The new technology — called
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)
— combines with GPS data to monitor real-time plane location and other flight information on aircraft equipped with ADS-B avionics.
Why is flight testing important?
The goal of production flight test is
to ensure individual aircraft are manufactured properly and is in a condition for safe operations
. It is the final stage of the production process and is a prerequisite to each aircraft being issued a Certificate of Airworthiness and released to the customer.
