What's New in NextGen: May 2011 Posting

Implementing NextGen initiatives involves complex activities ranging from concept development to deployments of capabilities in the National Airspace System.

In April, we published new satellite-based navigation procedures.

  • WAAS LPVs - 44
  • Area Navigation (RNAV) routes - 18
  • RNAV procedures - 4
  • Required Navigation Performance (RNP) - 8

Satellite-based procedures are updated every eight weeks and are real implementations that currently provide benefits.
