AIR NAVIGATION ADVANCES IN OCEANIC AIRSPACE ARE LEADING THE WAY FOR NEXTGEN

摘要

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is providing greatly improved service to trans-oceanic flights in the new century as the agency works with airlines and international partners to exploit new policies, procedures, and technologies. These major improvements employ NextGen concepts of operation and have set the stage for NextGen implementation at Oakland, Anchorage and New York Centers. Many of the advances in the past decade were in the planning stage before the inception of NextGen in 2005, but the capabilities exemplify where the FAA is headed with NextGen in the high-altitude structure.
