RTCA NextGen TF report and the FAA's response

RTCA Task Force 5 or by its more catchy title RTCA NextGen Mid-Term Implementation Task Force published its final report on 9 September 2009. This report is in fact a set of recommendations formulated on the basis of industry consensus and is concerned with the improvements desired in the US air transportation system in the period 2010-2018. Solid NextGen territory you might say.
The FAA in turn published their responses to the TF5 report in January this year, accepting 33 of the TF’s 56 recommendations.
The RTCA report is a saleable item which you can purchase here.
However, the statement of Margaret T. Jenny, President, RTCA, Inc. before the Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and related agencies, Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. House of Representatives gives a pretty good, high level overview of the recommendations. You can download the full text of the statement here.
The FAA responses to the TF5 report are available here!
