This guidebook explains what NextGen is, what it does, the changes it brings, and the advantages it gives aviation users and providers.

Introduction | 5 Fewer Flight Delays with Equivalent or Improved Safety From 2008 to 2013 FAA data indicated that weather caused 69% of delays greater than 15 minutes.8 In terminal areas, this often-quoted statistic means that ATC did not have an approach to use under the prevailing weather conditions that was able to maintain airport throughput, resulting in increased delay. This is particularly the case when independent operations to parallel runways that occur in visual conditions revert to single runway operations in instrument conditions.

6 | RESOURCES FOR AIRPORTS Fuel-Saving Flight Trajectories and Noise Impacts Airports need to be prepared to work with the FAA and notify the community about changes in air routes that can change community aircraft noise. The process the FAA follows in changing NextGen airspace trajectories has differed from the environmental and public notification processes airports follow when undertaking projects such as new runways or airfield improvements.

Introduction | 7 Deferred Capital Improvements Certain NextGen operational improvements expected to increase airport capacity, such as MRO and reduced aircraft separations, could defer or eliminate the need for capital improvements such as new runways and taxiways. Moreover, a particular capital improvement, such as a new runway, would be made much less expensive if it could be moved closer to adjacent existing runways, thereby potentially reducing the need for expensive demolition of facilities or property acquisition.
