What's New in NextGen

• Print

Implementing NextGen initiatives involves complex activities ranging from concept development to deployments of capabilities in the National Airspace System (NAS).

Since August, new ADS-B network advisory and separation services became operational. A service volume is a defined volume of airspace in the NAS within which a set of ADS-B services are available and achieved the required performance for the set of services.

New service volumes included:

• 3 Terminal Service Volumes
• 4 Surface Service Volumes
• 1 Separation Terminal Service Volume

More specific localized capabilities enabled by ADS-B and a description of the three types of service volumes (En Route, Terminal and Surface) can be found on the NextGen website under technical maps.

Since August, we published new satellite-based navigation procedures:

• WAAS LPVs – 87

Satellite-based procedures, updated every eight weeks, are real implementations that currently provide benefits. These implemented procedures and identification of other implementations are on our interactive maps.
