Revolutionizing the Skies: Next Generation Avionics in Commercial Aircraft

The avionics equipment elements of nextgen avionics have been defined in North America through efforts led by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA). They include leveraging existing aircraft capabilities, such as GPS/WAAS, localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV), area navigation (RNAV) and terminal required navigation performance (RNP), vertical navigation (VNAV) and flight information system broadcast (FIS-B), as well as increased use of portable or installed electronic flight bags (EFBs).
