What is FAA’s NextGen Implementation Plan?
FAA’s NextGen Implementation Plan defines this agency’s path to NextGen. The NextGen Implementation Plan contains firm, fully-funded commitments to new operational capabilities, new airport infrastructure, and improvements to safety, security, and environmental performance. The plan’s management process ensures these will be delivered by a specific near-term dates. The FAA and its partners are also undertaking research, policy and requirements development, and other activities, to assess the feasibility and benefits of additional proposed system changes that could be delivered in the mid-term (2012-2018). The goal of this plan is to turn these proposals into commitments, and to guide them into use. The NextGen Implementation Plan was formerly called the Operational Evolution Partnership. Its name changes with this version to clarify its purpose.
