NextGen benefits are coming, slowly but surely

Despite all the fits and starts, NextGen in the U.S. will eventually affect business aircraft operators, although perhaps not on the schedule that the FAA currently espouses. It is not too soon to start considering the impact of NextGen on business aviation and how it will drive equipment requirements.

When the FAA air traffic control system was created, it had a simple mandate: keep aircraft apart. And that mandate stemmed from midairs that generated overwhelming public interest in crafting a way to keep aircraft from running into each other.

Fast forward a few years. Now we have the NextGen mandate, one that isn’t driven by accidents, which is a good thing because too many FAA regulations stem from tragedy. But because it isn’t driven by an overwhelming need to prevent immediate bloodshed, the Next Generation Air Transportation System is a kitchen sink of desirable features, an all-encompassing package of government and aircraft operator spending that promises to solve a lot of problems and that is going to cost a bunch of someones a lot of money.

Here is a seemingly innocuous statement from the latest version of the FAA’s NextGen Implementation Plan, recently updated in March: “The primary goals of NextGen are to enhance the safety and reliability of air transportation, to improve efficiency in the [National Airspace System] and to reduce aviation’s impact on our environment.”

Certainly these are well-intentioned goals, and they reflect the fact that the FAA’s mission has morphed into something more substantial than it was when the agency was founded in 1958. The NextGen plan is part of an effort to wrap ATC modernization into the FAA’s vision “to reach the next level of safety, efficiency environmental responsibility and global leadership.” When NextGen is fully implemented in U.S. airspace it will lead to great improvements in efficiency and consequent reductions in aviation-related emissions.

The global leadership part is debatable, because many air navigation service providers (ANSPs) around the world are in much more advanced stages of ATC modernization. In the U.S., NextGen funding remains hung up in FAA reauthorization legislation, which has been extended 19 times and remains bogged by legislators’ incessant penchant for adding burdensome special-interest riders onto the legislation. Many ANSPs in other regions are funded through user fees, which might explain why they are able to adopt new technology more quickly, but that’s an entirely different issue.

Im not sure of the exact country of origin, but the story behind it is a husband would give it to his wife as a Wedding Ring , and if she took it off it would fall apart and only he would be able to get it back together. this was supposed to keep her from cheating, cause if she took it off to go be with another guy, she wouldnt be able to get it back together, and the her husband would know.
