Editor's Notes

NextGen is a term that we are hearing more and more each day, yet it has been difficult to grasp all that it encompasses and its relationship to other initiatives both in and outside of the United States. There are a number of questions at this point. The retrofit of business aircraft with NextGen compatible equipment will be a significant event for all of us. We want to get as much information in front of our customers as possible. To a certain degree, every aircraft in U.S. airspace will be affected and we want to arm you with the right information to answer the questions posed to you and make informed decisions based on that information.

There is much to understand on the topic of NextGen. We believe our efforts in finding and condensing this information should address many of your concerns. This Straight Talk booklet gives an overview of NextGen, providing a simple explanation of the many systems, standards, policies and procedures that will ensure safe and efficient aircraft operations in the future.

At Duncan Aviation, we consider ourselves to be on the cutting edge of all avionics technology, and the subject of NextGen is no different. We have done ample research and talked with hundreds of our customers to develop the most valuable information we can provide.

There are a number of subjects and systems which fall under the subject of NextGen. We recognize that you may require a greater level of detail and explanation surrounding some of these concepts and technologies. Therefore, we have created other Straight Talk books specific to a number of them. Visit www.DuncanAviation.aero/straighttalk to view our complete collection.

Duncan Aviation acknowledges the FAA Engineering and Safety Groups, Aircraft Electronics Association and the avionics manufacturers who are working on the products to make your flying safer, easier and affordable.

As always, we look to improve ourselves and our knowledge. Feel free to contact our avionics experts to answer any of your questions and talk about your challenges when the subject arises.
