The Story of NextGen
31
32
Why NextGen?
• The current aviation system does not scale to meet future needs related to*
Aircraft Airports Airspace Commerce and Business models Environmental considerations Security and safety considerations
• Current airspace evolution and modernization plans do not lead us to the changes needed beyond 2015
• Transformation requires change across government agencies
• The results of transformation produce new business models, new regulatory models, and new uses of airspace, airports, and aircraft
• The outcome of transformation is to enable scalability to meet the nation’s needs in commerce, mobility, security , and safety
*From NRC Report (2003) and the President’s Commission Final Report (2002)

Implementation Domains in FloridaNational NextGen Test Bed
•Tertiary (DayStop) Solutions Eliminate procedural separation
for increased access and capacity at smaller community airports for economic benefits
•Secondary (DayPort) Solutions Design routes for most
efficient altitudes, shortest routes and passing capabilities for reduced fuel and carbon
•Metroplex Solutions De-couple departures and
arrivals at hubs and small airports for increased capacity and road congestion relief

Outcomes“Fully cooperative NextGen solutions” (FAA-MOA)
1. Safety and Workload Benefits2. Shorter Routes3. Quieter Terminal Procedures4. Reduced Fuel Consumption5. Reduced Emissions6. Optimized Fleet Performance7. Accurate, Rapid Flight Planning8. Decoupled Metroplex Airports, Increased Capacities9. NextGen educational curriculum10. Business Cases (Federal, Industrial, State, Local)
These outcomes provide a templatefor accelerated national implementationof performance-based airspace systems.
