Safe Flight 21 Master Plan Version 2.0

Abstract

Safe Flight 21 is a cooperative government/industry 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 the Global Positioning System (GPS), Automated Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B), Flight Information Services (HS), 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 procedure improvements these technologies make possible.
