COVER STORY
23 2020 vision
What will the aviation world look like 12 years from now when, hopefully, both NextGen and SESAR will have solved some of the congestion problems of the future?

24 Fakin’ it to make it ... 2020 style
The gap between the quality of a simulation and the actuality of reality is shrinking fast. Veteran controller Tom Evers from Adacel explains why it is more than just better technology.

27 Multilateration: the 2020 safety net
In just over a decade the deployment of multilateration systems will become all-pervasive. So what benefits will we be seeing in that brave new world? Tony Lo Brutto from Sensis tells all.

30 Controlled flight into the future
Two visions of aviation and air traffic management have been with us from the early days of aviation. The pilot’s desire for unhindered flight and the need for ATM to control that dream. Come 2020 — when technologies such as Datalink and ADS-B are firmly ensconced in the cockpit as well as the Tracon — how will the two co-exist? Philip Cinch at SITA describes the balance to be found.

34 A global vision for 2020
How 2020 will look also depends on how we organize ourselves now. CANSO reflects on its own plans, analysis and efforts in shaping air traffic management in the future.

39 Why is ADS-B so far off-track?
The last word in the magazine goes to Reason Foundation’s Robert Poole, highly regarded as one of the clearest thinkers in air traffic management. The trouble with ADS-B, he argues, is not the technology but that ATM and government are an
unsatisfactory mix.
