ADS-B Keeps Aerobatic Pilots in the Loop
With lightweight ADS-B avionics available, more aerobatic aircraft owners are recognizing the value of equipping with ADS-B to enhance safety. Steve Johnson, an aerobatic competition pilot, said ADS-B can help pilots avoid unsafe situations.
This is NextGen
NextGen is not one technology, product, or goal. The NextGen portfolio encompasses the planning and implementation of innovative new technologies and airspace procedures after thorough testing for safety. Through research, innovation, and collaboration, NextGen is setting standards around the world and further establishing the FAA's global leadership in aviation.
How NextGen Works
As the steward of America's airspace, the FAA is committed to ensuring that we have the safest, most efficient airspace system possible today and for generations of air travelers to come.
Where We Are Now
NextGen is about halfway through a multi-year investment and implementation plan. The FAA plans to keep rolling out NextGen technologies, procedures, and policies that benefit passengers, the aviation industry, and the environment through 2025/2030 and beyond.
