Flight Operations Centers: Transforming NextGen Air Traffic Management FOC Study Team Report

Abstract

This report documents the findings and recommendations of the Airline Operations Centers (AOC)/Flight Operations Centers (FOC)/Wings Operations Centers (WOC) Study Team (herein referred to as FOC). The Study Team was commissioned by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) and supported by the NextGen Institute. The purpose of the report is to bring greater attention and focus to the important role that FOCs should play in the evolution of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The overall goal is to identify opportunities for making broader system improvements through expanded FOC-NextGen interaction. This expansion represents a new form of cooperative partnership that can accelerate implementation of NextGen capabilities, reduce program risk, and improve return on investment.
