5 Conclusions and Technology Trends Conclusions and Technology Trends | 43 NextGen began in December 2003 with the Vision 100 Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. Its goals were to "take advantage of data from emerging ground-based and space-based com-munications, navigation, and surveillance technologies; [and to]

44 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS Conclusion • Not all aspects of NextGen programs require or produce spatial data, but those that do often relate to safety-critical operations. The locations of obstacles, runway ends, NAVAIDs, and other safetycritical spatial data are key ingredients of PBN procedure, development, and planning for improved MRO.

Conclusions and Technology Trends | 45 DO-272 and sold by vendors to aircraft operators and others. Efforts to harmonize AC 150/530018 and DO-272 have helped close this gap, but further resolution of data structure and specifications -- and of the data development process -- may reduce any redundant data development and ultimately make more airport spatial data available to all who need it.

46 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS AGIS's Important Role in Fulfilling Requirements Facts • On March 29, 2006, concurrent with the cancellation of FAA No. 405, the FAA published AC 150/5300-18 and began AGIS.

Conclusions and Technology Trends | 47 • The utility data definitions available in AC 150/5300-18 do not accommodate all of the details airports typically require, such as material, size, and ownership information. This data could be invaluable to the FAA and specifically to NextGen programs that install NAVAIDs, communications facilities, and other equipment at or near airports.

48 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS ASDE-X data and spatial data technologies that share data between the TRACON and the airport tower provide better safety and airfield movement efficiencies. A lot of the spatial data associated with these benefits comes from third-party vendors rather than from the airport; however, the airport is receiving benefit.

Conclusions and Technology Trends | 49 Instead, where required, they rely on environmental specialists to conduct the necessary assessments. Many new procedures are exempt from the NEPA EA process because they are covered by CatExes under which a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)

50 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS Conclusions • Airports that have CSPRs, runways with converging paths, and other multiple runway configurations have begun to benefit from a variety of NextGen capabilities that improve access to air service capacity while preserving high safety standards. • Spatial data is one of many essential ingredients that help deliver these benefits to aircraft operators and airports.
