What is NextGen

NextGen is the transformation of the world's safest aviation system from ground-based radar to satellite-based surveillance. It will make air travel even safer and more efficient and reduce the impact on the environment.

It’s an investment in America and a commitment to ensure a thriving air transportation system, now and in the future.

The FAA is developing solutions to ensure that NextGen works for all users of the national airspace system, including airports, airlines and the general aviation community.

National Airspace System Today• Air traffic services for the

world’s largest and busiest airspace.

• Air traffic controllers track aircraft and keep them separated as they fly between navigation aids on the ground.

• Radar periodically updates the location of aircraft.

• Controllers communicate using radios and telephones.

• Nav aids are located where geography allows and do not provide the most direct routes.

• Controllers often add distance between aircraft to ensure safety.

• Weather causes 75 percent of delays.
