NextGen Update

Yes, weve done a couple updates on ATC moderization recently. But the negative responses to editor Bowlins recent comments in favor of ADS-B suggest yet more information is needed. Plus, if you still think the 2020 deadline will get extended, well, the FAA is completing its tasks with an unfamiliar but refreshingly high speed and efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

  • The FAA is rapidly progressing with NextGen implementation, having completed nationwide ADS-B ground station coverage and integrating core systems like ERAM, NVS, and SWIM into air traffic control.
  • The aviation landscape is shifting from legacy NDB/VOR navigation to a significant increase in WAAS-enabled LPV/LP approaches, alongside the development of new RNAV routes and procedures.
  • While ADS-B In offers substantial safety benefits for General Aviation (GA), ADS-B Out equipage remains critically low, and pilots are strongly urged to comply with the unmovable 2020 mandate soon to avoid last-minute installation challenges.
