Synopsis
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The Air Traffic Control System in the United States is outdated.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.
