NextGen Weather Integration Concept
11Federal AviationAdministration
• Single project… It is the integration of many projects, concepts, and technologies.
• Program plan… It is the integration of many program plans, some new and some ongoing, to deliver new service capabilities to meet increasing needs.
• New system… It is the integration of – new systems,
– new procedures,
– new aircraft performance capabilities,
– renewable fuels,
– new supporting infrastructure, and
– a new way to do business
• as the Air Transportation System.
