... Introduction and Background | 1 1 Introduction and Background Since the inception of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) , airports have been challenged to understand its potential benefits, costs, and impacts on their operations and on their relationships with industry stakeholders, the public, and other external interests.
From page 4...
... 2 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT • Explain how airports may stay informed of local and regional airspace efficiency improvements that could impact the airport. • Incorporate NextGen capabilities into the environmental process, including impacts from aircraft operator-initiated and FAA-initiated projects.

... Introduction and Background | 3 planning. It delves deeply into the information needed to incorporate NextGen capabilities into airport master planning, airport environmental planning, state, and regional/metropolitan airport system planning, airspace redesign studies [e.g., OAPM (optimization of airspace procedures in the metroplex)

... 4 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT NextGen Background and Why This Guidebook Is Needed As stated in the RFP for ACRP Project 01-27, "NextGen -- A Primer": For the ACRP NextGen Initiative, the term "NextGen" shall refer to a number of federal programs (predominately airspace, air traffic, or avionics related) that are designed to modernize the NAS (National Airspace System)

... Introduction and Background | 5 riences of certain airlines that have equipped their aircraft only to find out that very few benefits have resulted from their investment. • The uncertainty about the timing of NextGen implementation and its potential benefits to airports has been a factor in many airports' reluctance to incorporate NextGen into their existing facility, environmental, and financial planning processes.
From page 8...
... 6 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT In summary, this guidebook is needed to define what NextGen means to airport planning practitioners to help them decide how to properly prepare for NextGen. Who Should Use This Guidebook?

... Introduction and Background | 7 Chapter 3 -- Incorporating NextGen into Airport Planning and Development This chapter provides a working-level discussion of the likely changes to planning practices to reflect the expected gradual introduction of NextGen capabilities to airports. As NextGen becomes more widely implemented, additional and more specific guidance will become available from FAA in the form of revised ACs, orders, and other documents.
