FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION - Flight Procedure Standards Branch

Today’s National Airspace System (NAS) consists of a complex collection of facilities, systems, equipment, procedures, and airports operated by thousands of peo- ple to provide a safe and efficient flying environment.

America’s aviation industry is projecting continued increases in business, recreation, and personal travel. The FAA expects airlines in the United States (U.S.) to carry about 45 percent more passengers by the year 2015 than they do today.
