What is the FAA’s Capstone program in Alaska?
The Capstone program is a long-term, highly successful application of ADS-B in a non-radar environment. ADS-B, one of NextGen’s essential foundational technologies, will continue its development with the goal of deployment throughout Alaska. Since initial deployment, general aviation accidents have decreased by 40%. The practical information provided by this FAA program has also proven invaluable in guiding the development of NextGen.
