Other Key Speakers:
GE Aviation perspective on NextGen ATM systems
Keith Wichman, Chief Engineer, Flight Management ,GE Aviation
Equipage, certification, and regulation challenges are everywhere as avionics designers begin the transition to the NextGen system. GE Aviation designs aircraft systems from the engine to the cockpit and is involved in solving many of these issues. This presentation will emphasize avionics – for civil air transport as well as unmanned systems – and the associated requirements/path to 4D trajectory-based operations (TBO) and performance-based operations as part of NextGen.
TBO will enable unmanned systems integration in the national airspace. The presentation will also cover NextGen operational efficiency, capacity, and environmental improvements for airline operations.
FAA standardization efforts
Steven Van Tress, Chief Aircraft Architect, Federal Aviation Administration, USA
The National Airspace System (NAS) Enterprise Architecture and the Joint Program Development Office (JPDO) Aircraft Working Group (AWG) are developing roadmaps and strategies for implementing NextGen technology across the air space. This talk will focus on aircraft roadmap standardization efforts in the FAA, with special emphasis on avionics planning, UAS integration, and regulatory strategy.
