AbstractRandy Babbit recently became the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). His priorities include safety, improved labor-management relations, the environment and the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). At the request of the FAA, the RTCA convened a task force on NextGen mid-term implementation (i.e. through 2018). The report:
- Documented commitments by the FAA and industry
- Prioritized operational capability sets into 5 domains
- Defined 2 cross cutting capabilities
- Made 4 overarching recommendations
- Defined what, where, who, when
- Recommended acceleration and business case strategies

Some of the report’s messages are:
- The FAA will focus on near-term operational benefits
- An FAA commitment to a near term delivery schedule
- Users are active participants
- Focus on difficult near-term transition issues
- Best equipped = Best served
- Users will support infrastructure projects only if there is a “clear and unambiguous path to immediate and tangible benefits”

On January 20, 2005, Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) was implemented in sovereign United States airspace – a reduction of the vertical separation standard from 2,000’ to 1,000’ above FL290. Continued safe operations require initial aircraft qualification of acceptable height keeping and ongoing performance monitoring. This has been accomplished by a number of Air Ground Height Monitoring Equipment Constellations installed in the United States and Canada. A recent flight test indicted the feasibility of using Automated Dependant Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) data for this monitoring. The FAA has entered into a cooperative agreement with AirServices Australia to mature this approach. The FAA has considerable expertise and experience in the analytic methodology of height estimation. AirServices Australia, with an extensive ADS-B operational infrastructure, possesses considerable experience in the collection and analysis of this data.
