Michael P. Huerta is expected to be confirmed as the new FAA Administrator, having served as Acting Administrator for over a year since his predecessor's resignation.
His path to confirmation was recently cleared, and if he serves a full five-year term, he would become the longest-serving FAA agency leader in history.
Huerta brings extensive experience from various transportation and government roles, including FAA Deputy Administrator and managing director for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games transportation facilities.
He is a strong proponent of the FAA's NextGen ATC system, and his tenure will significantly impact its implementation, especially leading up to the 2020 ADS-B deadline.
