WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Air Transport
Association of America (ATA), the industry trade organization for the
leading U.S. airlines, today commented on the completion of the report by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Rulemaking Committee
(ARC) on Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast

(ADS-B).

ADS-B is a critical component of NextGen and is strongly supported by
ATA and its member airlines. FAA drafted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM), which generated extensive comments and was not warmly received
because it lacked industry input prior to its publication. To coordinate
that input, the FAA subsequently established the ARC. This team of industry
experts spent the last nine months evaluating more than 1,400 public
comments related to the ADS-B proposed rule and developed a set of
recommendations for FAA that will help resolve programmatic and technical
uncertainties and enable them to create a rule that yields benefits for all
who operate in the nation’s airspace.

“As an active participant and co-chair of the FAA ADS-B ARC, we worked
hard to reach consensus on some fairly complex issues,” said ATA President
and CEO James C. May. “We support the recommendations contained in the
report and encourage FAA to embrace all of the ARC recommendations.”

ATA airline members and their affiliates transport more than 90 percent
of all U.S. airline passenger and cargo traffic. For additional information
