• NextGen represents the transformation of our
national airspace system
• It integrates new and existing technologies,
procedures and policies
What is NextGen?
4
• 5,000 Planes in air
at any time
• 1 Billion passengers
per year soon
• 12 Million jobs
• $1.3 Trillion in
economic activity
• 5.6% of GDP
Why do we need NextGen?

NextGen is…
Economic Impact
Make it More Efficient - delay reductions derived
from NextGen capabilities will provide $23 billion in
cumulative benefits through 2018.
7
NextGen is…
Sustainability
NextGen procedures will reduced carbon dioxide
emissions
8
What About GA Fuel?
9
NextGen is…
Flexibility
Make it Flexible - by 2018, NextGen will reduce
total flight delays by 35 percent and increase
airspace access for all NAS users.
10
NextGen is…
Safety
Make it Safer - satellites provide faster updates
with greater position accuracy for surveillance and
navigation versus conventional radar.

ADS-B Out Rule Compliance
Equipage components
• GPS receiver
• Universal Access Transceiver (UAT)
operating at 978 MHz (some UATs have
the GPS built-in)
• Antenna
• Multi-Function Display
capable of receiving and displaying traffic
and weather information from the UAT
