William C. Withycombe March 14, 2012 Federal Aviation Administration Pacific Aviation Directors Workshop State of the FAA

Pacific Aviation Directors Workshop March 14, 2012 Federal Aviation Administration FAA Reauthorization FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 –$16 billion through 2015 –$16 billion per year 2

Pacific Aviation Directors Workshop March 14, 2012 Federal Aviation Administration 3 Next Generation Air Transportation System - NextGen NextGen will: Increase capacity Reduce delays Reduce emissions Reduce fuel consumption Reduce noise

Pacific Aviation Directors Workshop March 14, 2012 Federal Aviation Administration Make it Safer – satellite provides faster updates with greater positional accuracy versus conventional radar for surveillance and navigation. Make it More Efficient - delays in 2009 resulted in $2 Billion in lost income and $9 Billion in lost productivity. Make it Flexible - demand and congestion will increase dramatically and our system must be flexible to accommodate NAS user needs. Make it Sustainable – impact on the environment with petroleum based fuels, carbon emissions and noise. What can NextGen achieve for the National Airspace System?
