Abstract:

Safe Flight 21 is a cooperative GovernmentIndustry effort to evaluate enhanced capabilities for Free Flight based on evolving Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance CNS technologies. Safe Flight 21 will demonstrate the in-cockpit display of traffic, weather, and terrain information for pilots and will provide improved information for controllers. The new technologies on which this program is based include Global Positioning System GPS, Automated Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast ADS-B, Flight Information Services FIS, Traffic Information Service - Broadcast TIS-B, and their integration with enhanced pilot and controller information displays. Safe Flight 21 will evaluate the safety, service, and procedures improvements that these technologies make possible. The purpose of this Master Plan is to present a Safe Flight 21 plan for incrementally specifying, developing, and evaluating the operational enhancements called for in the RTCA Joint GovernmentIndustry Roadmap.
