Course  Objectives

There are numerous advantages to NextGen. The program is essential to maintaining aviation’s considerable economic contributions to our country while improving safety, cutting fuel use and aircraft exhaust emissions.

The safety of the skies and airfields is the FAA’s primary responsibility, and NextGen innovation and advancements are meeting that need. The capabilities for proactively identifying and resolving weather and other hazards are being made available to air traffic controllers and pilots through NextGen.

Flying is getting more environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient, and quiet. Operators are starting to adopt modern technology and techniques, alternative fuels, and equipment to lessen their negative effects on the environment. The number of persons who are affected by airplane noise is also being reduced via more precise flight routes.

Because they attract travelers and business, airports serve as economic engines for the areas they serve. NextGen  is providing increased access, predictability and reliability, enhancing airport operations across the country.

Workshop Overview

The NextGen initiatives have greatly expedited the processes for guiding and flying an aircraft from gate to gate, mostly due to enhanced operations in the terminal, on the surface, and in the air, as well as optimized profile descent.

Electronic tracking of all aircraft and surface vehicles makes the taxi routing procedure automated and, therefore, more effective. Radio communication between controllers and pilots is not as necessary. Additionally, the capacity for departures is increased by allowing several departure paths for each runway using current NextGen technology.

Thanks to NextGen technology, more aircraft can effectively and safely cruise the skies at once. These systems choose the best path based on the wind, destination, weather, and traffic.

Descents won’t be the time-consuming process they are right now. Instead, NextGen systems prepare the arrival sequence hundreds of miles in advance, placing the aircraft on precise vertical and horizontal routes from the descent point to the final approach.
