24 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS Cost-Benefit Considerations 3 T he spatial data that airports collect benefits NextGen, other FAA programs, and the NAS over-all. Although the cost of collecting this data is relevant, when viewed system wide, the cost appears relatively small in comparison to the benefits provided by new NextGen-enabled flight procedures.
