From page 19...
... The goal was to identify an affordable means to reduce controlled flight into terrain, providing pilots with an enhanced means to see nearby traffic and receive current weather in the cockpit. The Capstone program provided training for pilots, operators, safety inspectors, air traffic control specialists, and technicians.

... The users cite schedule dependability as the biggest benefit for their operations. Greener Skies over Seattle3 On June 11, 2012, a commercial passenger flight landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport using a satellite-based navigation arrival procedure that may significantly reduce aircraft exhaust emissions and fuel burn, contributing to better air quality in the United States and eventually around the world.

... The Alaska Capstone Program, the Gulf of Mexico Helicopter initiative, and the Greener Skies Over Seattle initiative demonstrate some of the potential benefits of the components of NextGen, as well as some of the attributes required for the successful implementation of a program. They are included here because they can help guide the development of future FAA research programs and indicate what aspects are necessary for a successful program.

... However, the February 2014 Research Plan does not refer to this important relationship. The committee considers this to be a deficiency and believes that any future research plan will not be complete unless it references relevant NASA research as well as that of other agencies and organizations that develop air traffic control technologies or are involved in certifying new technologies.
