4. AGIS History No FAA standards for GIS
Disparity in data management techniques
No common coordinate system
Large volumes of spatial data in paper form
No common data format
Many airports with no spatial data management system in place
Need for a standardized data collection and management system

5. NextGen Goals Comprehensive overhaul of National Airspace System
Move to Satellite-Based navigation from current Land-Based navigation
Enhance Safety
Reduce environmental impacts related to aviation
Enhance the flow of information
Make air travel more predictable – reduce delays
Make better, more informed infrastructure decisions

11. How Does AGIS Work? Airports submit and own data
FAA hosts the data on their servers
Airports manage the data
AGIS is web-based – no airport-based GIS needed
Airports can access their data via AGIS web portal
NGS provides the quality control for the safety critical data
GIS data submittal is a requirement for new construction projects with FAA funding.
Data is not available to the general public.

12. How Does AGIS Help to Meet NextGen Goals?
Safety-
Higher quality data for obstructions
Higher quality data for NAVAIDS
Standardized data requirements for airport operations areas and safety critical equipment
More efficient way to share data
Makes it possible to put airport spatial data in the cockpit
Data can be used in Part 139 Inspections
Develop eNOTAM’s
Reduces chances of CFIT’s
Reduces runway incursions or collisions

13. How Does AGIS Help to Meet NextGen Goals?
Satellite-Based Navigation
Provides the data of all airports in a common coordinate system
Data can be used in developing National Flight Procedures
NFDC info can be integrated
Airspace and Obstruction Analysis data
Data suitable for developing Precision Instrument Approach procedures

14. How Does AGIS Help to Meet NextGen Goals?
AIP funds to facilities with highest needs
Tighter plane separations
More planes in same airspace
Less fuel consumed by planes
Fewer delays in commercial flights
More direct routing
Improved flexibility of operations & procedures

15. AGIS Implementation 2008 National AGIS Team created
3 Phases to AGIS deployment
Southwest region - Six airports, plus Atlanta Hartsfield
Remaining Regions – 30 Airports
– Incremental Projects – Phasing considered
eALP beta-tests
2012 eALP v1.0 Deployment

16. ALP vs. eALP All NPIAS airports req’d to have an ALP
Paper copies housed at multiple locations
Paper ALP’s often have conflicting info
NextGen needs real-time web-based access of the same version of doc’s
