Puget Sound NextGen

General aviation airports within the central Puget Sound region are preparing for the arrival of NextGen air traffic control — a switch from radar to a satellite based system with significant safety and operational benefits. A study by the Puget Sound Regional Council, in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration, identified constraints on general aviation access to the airports in the region and concepts for improving air traffic control, reduction of noise and emissions and improved safety with the implementation of NextGen strategies.
Pilots are encouraged to equip their general aviation aircraft with NextGen technology to secure the benefits of improved access to the local airports. This app contains information regarding advantages of equipping with NextGen technology and animations of the concept procedures for airports in the central Puget Sound region.
