Excerpt from Free Flight: Faa Stymied by High-Tech Advances: Hearing Before the Employment, Housing, and Aviation Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, August 9, 1994
The Air Traffic Control System in the United States is outdated. While it is safe, it cannot handle current and projected demand adequately nor efficiently. The delays, congestion, and inconveniences resulting from this are obvious, well documented, and are experienced by millions of consumers each year. Worse, the unseen economic impacts loss of jobs, slowed economic growth, loss of productivity, even higher pollution due to unnecessary excess flying are costing the nation additional billions of dollars each year.
Clearly, there is no question that -the system cannot remain as it is today. It must be reinvented. Not upgraded but reinvented.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents insights from industry experts and government officials on the current state of air traffic management systems and the promising advancements offered by âfree flightâ technologies. The authors argue that free flight, a system reliant on advanced navigation and communication technology, will allow aircraft to operate more efficiently and safely, reducing congestion, delays, and fuel costs. They believe the current system, based on rigid control and defined airways, is outdated and unable to meet the demands of modern aviation. The book emphasizes that free flight is not merely a technological upgrade but a fundamental shift in air traffic management philosophy, prioritizing airspace management over control. The authors contend that free flight is not only feasible but also necessary for the future of aviation with its potential to revolutionize the industry and unlock significant economic and environmental benefits.
