The Next-Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) represents a major reconfiguration of the National Airspace System (NAS) within the United States by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over the coming years. This document reviews auditory display design approaches and requirements for NextGen flight decks and air traffic control workstations. While some aspects of auditory alert d...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking to develop alternative position navigation and timing (APNT) systems in order to minimize the impact of a degradation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The developed APNT system needs to have capabilities beyond those provided by currently existing FAA ground based navigation aids are...

Contents Software Productivity Consortium (Consortium) members applying the tools for both the requirement and design model-driven verification and validation are often required to certify their software with various certification authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These certifications require methods and supporting artifacts fo...

In this paper it is argued that a Carter–Penrose diagram can be viewed as a differential space.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alternative Positioning Navigation & Timing (APNT) program is developing and examining solutions to provide terrestrial based radio-navigation capability that can support Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) even with the loss of GNSS. Two technologies being examined are improved distance measuring equipment (DME) and passive ranging from...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) network is an essential component for the day-to-day FAA mission. In this digital era where quick access to information is essential, the FTI network has grown significantly and is used to transport data, services, and information for the National Airspace System (NAS). Whether the follow-on network FTI-2 is compl...

O n average, Federal Reserve chairmen come and go at about the same rate as U.S. presidents. Dating from the creation of this country's central bank (1913), we have seen sixteen presidents (Wilson to Bush) and fourteen Federal Reserve Chairmen (Hamlin to Bernanke).

Today, about one-fourth of U.S. commercial service airports, including 41 of the busiest 50, are either in nonattainment or maintenance areas per the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. U.S. aviation activity is forecasted to triple by 2025, while at the same time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is evaluating stricter particulate matter (PM) standards on the basis of documen...
