RTCA CTF-5

Description / Abstract: This report documents the community-wide consensus on the recommended NextGen operational capabilities to be implemented during the transition between now and 2018. Over 300 stakeholders participated in the development of this report. Each operational capability recommended defines the associated "What", "Where", "Who", and "When". The Report further recommends strategies for accelerating benefits, and strategies for encouraging equipage. Several overarching recommendations aimed at facilitating the transition to NextGen are also documented in this report, including streamlining the operations approval process, and establishing effective institutional mechanisms for post-Task Force government - industry collaboration. As a companion to this document, all the supporting analytic data and detailed descriptions of each operational capability are available on a CD for purchase on this website.
