How does the OEP relate to other planning documents?
NextGen Concept of Operations The Concept of Operations is a document that provides a basic operational description of how the NextGen will function in 2025. The version released for comment in March 2007 describes all segments of a flight, from the time an aircraft departs until it arrives at its destination, as well as operations that take place before and after a flight, such as flight planning and security screenings. OEP, in turn, defines the major operational changes FAA will enact through technologies and procedures that will transform today’s NAS into the NextGen system.
