NextGen is More than FAA
Congress: NextGen is “a systems engineering, management, and regulatory challenge as complex as any the nation has ever faced.”
• Multi-agency partnership
• FAA has the
implementation lead
• For weather, working
with DOC, DoD, NASA,
industry & academia

Weather’s Impact on Operations
Delays• 70% of delays attributed to weather• $28 billion lost annually from commercial delays
Safety• 14% of GA accidents• 34% of GA fatalities
Weather continues to be a major cause of delaysWeather continues to be a major cause of delays

NextGen: Improvements in All Phases of FlightWeather Goal
To provide advanced weather information (e.g., 0-6h convective forecasts) to enable improved collaborative planning and efficient utilization of resources (e.g., airspace, airports) to optimize operations & reduce the impact of weather from gate to gate.

FY 2009 is a Pivotal Year for NextGen
• The President’s FY09 budget request increases funding for the NextGen portfolio from $230.8 million in FY08 to $688.3 million in FY09 – an increase of 198%.
• Increased investment enables delivery of significant NextGen capabilities by 2012
