36 Actions -- or solutions -- to address the challenges described in Chapter 3 were identified during this research project through discussion with airports, airlines, pilots, and equipment manufacturers. The solutions are organized into high-level categories that correspond closely with those used to organize the challenges in Chapter 3 and include: 1.
