Aviation Safety (AVS) Work Plan for NextGen 2010: “The Next Generation Air Transportation System, better known as NextGen, represents the most significant overhaul of the National Airspace System (NAS) in our history. Aviation Safety (AVS) contributions are vital to the successful implementation of NextGen because efficiency and capacity benefits will not occur without the successful integration of new technologies into the existing operational structure. Safety, aircraft centric operations, and aircraft equipage are keys to NextGen’s success. This AVS Work Plan for NextGen provides an overall perspective of FAA NextGen planning activities, focusing on AVS-specific responsibilities and deliverables.”
