Strategies, options & perspectives
Our community will face greater change in the next 10 years than we experienced in the last 50.

Our community will face greater change in the next 10 years than we experienced in the last 50. We will see new communications, navigation and surveillance equipment, as well as changes in piloting requirements and procedures. A new class of very light jets (VLJs) will emerge, and owner pilots will be operating them in airspace previously the pur-view of professionals. Most significant, however, will be fundamental changes in our nation’s air transportation system.

When there is an opportunity to shape the future, we must be sufficiently involved to be heard. Conversely, we need to discern those situations where change will happen in spite of our input. In all cases, we have no choice but to make the most of the situations we face.
