I saw an awesome presentation today during my ground school class. it isn’t anything that has to do with the course but it was a presentation on the future of airspace and navigation. Today, pilots use VORs to travel from one area to another. This means that there can be heavy traffic surrounding one of these VORs. However, NextGen is the future of airspace. It explains how satellites instead of radars will control airplanes. This will eventually allows for more planes to fly over the USA with safer conditions. NexGen has started to be incorporated into a few large airports include JFK in New York and the major airport in Philadelphia. The accompanying video explains the future of aviation navigation much better than me.
