Air China's First RNP Approach Into Linzhi Airport, Tibet
in number and limited by line-of-sight. In China, 40-50 airports, mostly in Tibet and the southwest region, will have RNP in the next five years he says. This could even put CAAC and the Chinese Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) on a faster pace of RNP implementation than the FAA in the U.S. Li...

Impact of ADS-B on Business Aviation
to increase capacity in the National Airspace System (NAS) within the existing infrastructure (i.e., airports and runways) to meet the anticipated doubling of air traffic over the next 20 years and to greatly enhance operational efficiency, thereby saving fuel and shortening flight times. The keystone...

DayJet, Embry-Riddle, FAA Team On NextGen
a performance-based air traffic management system. The data will be used to demonstrate accurate navigation and control capability that would allow FAA to "trim air lanes" from several miles wide to a few hundred feet and would allow for aircraft tracking based on equipment on the airplane rather than radar...

EPA To Invite Comment On Aircraft Emissions
in the U.S. Meyers also pointed to other compounds "indirectly related" to climate change such as nitrogen, water vapor and aerosols. "U.S. aviation emissions have declined in recent years, but due to the expected increase in air traffic and lead times for technology change, it could prove challenging...

100 years of flight - Keep them flying : Avionics
returns, however, are more powerful than reflected radar returns, and can overwhelm them on a radarscope, often hiding radar returns from other aircraft. So ground operators would tell pilots to "Strangle your Parrot," which meant to switch it off or to standby. Some older traffic controllers still use...
