Integration of NextGen Technologies Into The National Airspace System Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Professional Aeronautics Year: 2010 Despite the turn in the economy business and leisure travel along with commercial air cargo has remained constant and continues to grow, the only problem is that the National Airspace System (NAS) has not. The NAS in the United States is at capacity that has led to the ongoing problem of delays in departures and arrivals and to mention

INTRODUCTION Information security is an essential topic to any airports because it causes a huge loss and impact on the society. There are many control systems in an airport, and the report only focus on air traffic control system (ATC). The risks, mitigations strategies, risk management plan is analysis the technology problem and solution to the computer system of ATC. In this report, the hazard, financial and operational risks that cause by information technology vulnerability is assess in the

Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System and the Human Element Terry D. Gilfillan Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper describes the history of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). It will discuss the types or categories of and the operation of the system of TCAS, to include the components involved, how the system interacts with other aircraft that are equipped with TCAS, and the related warnings and/or notifications of the system. Also discussed

a main concern, thus adding extra pressure to the air traffic control system. Communicating with the air traffic control is the number one key to safety in aviation. They organize the air traffic so ensure that one aircraft is keeping a safe distance away from another. Without communications with ATC in the airspace, aircrafts would be all over the place and at any altitude they want. Before Archie League became the first air traffic controller in 1929, aircrafts would be coming in to land at

protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. A study done by the FAA in July of 2010 found that 66 percent of runway incursions were caused by pilot error, 18 percent by vehicle or pedestrian error, and 16 percent air traffic control (ATC) error. The reasons for runway incursions vary and are often complex. One reason found to be a cause for runway incursions are complex airport markings, lighting, and signage. Often, pilots are faced with airport signage that is

allows for more favorable environmental conditions by reducing flight time and air traffic delays by providing better route information to pilots and ATC for the NEXTGEN aerospace upgrades and enhancements for safety in the NAS. ADS-B with its GPS capabilities can give us an accuracy of a few hundred feet of an aircraft’s location. It utilizes GPS satellite signals to provide both the pilots and air traffic controllers with more precise information to enable a more efficient and safer use of the

international airport, and one will come to appreciate the tremendous demands placed upon all the aviation professionals involved along the process. There is continuous communication taking place between the different sectors, from the aircrew, to air traffic control, to maintenance, and all the other facets in between. Any position in aviation can be very exciting and rewarding, but it also demands a great deal of attention and situational awareness. It is human nature to make mistakes from time
