NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements2 NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements \| 9 This chapter describes the different types of spatial data that NextGen programs utilize, produce, or enhance, and how this data is used. The NextGen concept of operations (CONOPS) Read the entire page →
From page 12... ... 10 \| LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS NextGen programs do not use or produce spatial data but may enhance existing spatial data sets or have applications for airport operations. In considering spatial data requirements and sources, how the data will be used in certain NextGen programs is an important factor. Read the entire page →
From page 13... ... NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements \| 11 A pilot may consult a map to determine where the next taxiway is and where other aircraft are positioned on the airfield relative to the pilot's own position. From a pilot's perspective, whether the map information is viewed on a head-up display or via a digital flight bag, the map display should have a consistent look and feel to it.

The data developed in support of and as a result of these many different federally funded airfield projects typically must comply with FAA ACs 150/5300-16, 17, and 18. Read the entire page →

From page 17... ... NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements \| 15 • Safety - Increased safety, consistency, and efficiency of operations within the NAS. Like NextGen overall, AGIS has realized multiple successes; yet NextGen and AGIS continue to evolve as their programs and capabilities are implemented in segments. Read the entire page →
From page 18... ... 16 \| LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS through individual reports, spreadsheets, and documents sent in support of AIP grant requests, it is not currently provided in the consistent way that would be most useful to the FAA. • Airports are constantly changing because of capacity enhancement needs, changes to the airfield to improve safety, new construction, or temporary situations, such as a need for maintenance to a portion of pavement or changes to lighting systems.

From page 20... ... 18 \| LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS Collectively, these requirements and guidelines define how spatial data relevant to NextGen can be structured and exchanged. With the exception of AC 150/5300-18, U.S. Read the entire page →
From page 21... ... NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements \| 19 PBN establishes an aircraft's ability to navigate based on the capabilities of its onboard systems in conjunction with ground- or space-based NAVAIDs. One of the more mature NextGen initiatives, PBN has already been implemented at most of the nation's largest airports, and many other airports also benefit. Read the entire page →
From page 22... ... 20 \| LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS • Population density data showing locations where high proportions of residents or businesses may be affected by aircraft noise; • Land use zones that help identify sensitive areas or areas for compatible development; • Noise abatement procedures established by an airport to reduce noise impact on sensitive areas; • Habitats that may attract wildlife that are not conducive to safe aircraft operations; and • Water bodies and wetland areas that may attract wildlife or that are protected from certain types of development. These spatial data sets, which are used for flight procedure development, currently come from a variety of sources. Read the entire page →
From page 23... ... NextGen and Spatial Data Requirements \| 21 PBN flight procedure development, the potential uses of AGIS data for procedure design have not yet been fully realized. One objective of FAA's NAV Lean initiative is to streamline this process and establish a more consistently applied, systematic approach of conveying spatial data to procedure designers.
