Bill Analysis

This resolution makes a non-binding statement of support for the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) has been several years in development by the Federal Aviation Administration to improve efficiency and safety for both commercial aviation and general aviation. Taking advantage of several technological advances, especially GPS navigation, operators will be able to save millions of gallons of fuel through efficient routing, fewer delays, and fewer diversions since landings can be conducted safely to lower minimums. Aircraft equipped with NextGen’s ADS-B equipment already enjoy onboard weather and traffic at no cost greatly increasing flight safety.

Because this resolution does not affect our liberty principles and does not place any encumbrances on government at any level we remain neutral.
