A key step in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system development lifecycle is an examination of current U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) operations to determine the highest priority operational needs. There exists literature on the subject of identifying deficiencies in the (NAS); however, much of this literature's originating perspective is from that of an engineer or data analyst. Less literature exists from the originating perspective of current operational experts working within NAS field facilities. MITRE/CAASD is supporting the FAA in establishing an outreach-based approach for identifying and analyzing operational deficiencies in the NAS. As an initial effort, the FAA has selected the terminal arrival/departure domain to validate this approach. As opposed to focusing on the “latest technology”, the identification of deficiencies is guiding the FAA's system development strategies by giving decision-makers greater insight into the most important capabilities needed in future operations. This will help to achieve the vision set forth by the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).
