The Truth About Free Flight

By: Peter Salmonford

The FAA says its national route program is free flight, but I don't think that is really accurate. FAA's national route program lets some aircraft fly their preferred routes sometimes, but they Eire still too controlled by air traffic management, and some argue that such extensive control is no longer necessary with the new technologies that we have available.

Today, some of the witnesses will argue that FAA, attempting to improve air traffic, is guaranteed failure if it relies on building upon the current air traffic control system. In their opinion, it is the current system that is the problem. It is so outdated that even if new technology is fully applied, it could only produce marginal benefits. They argue that with new technology and modem aircraft's capabiUties, the current air traffic control system should be radically restructured.

Our present system of air traffic control dates back to the late 1950's and early 1960's when air travel was very different than it is today. We had pistoned-powered aircraft, not jets; only a few people were flying; and only a small number of aircraft were flying at any one time. Moreover, at that time airports didn't have any capacity problems, hubs didn't exist, and airport parking was easy. But that is all history.

The FAA did well by us then. The system it crafted essentially still serves us today, providing undeniably safe air transportation, as it always has. But now it is argued that the FAA, by building on that system and not considering any other method, limits the improvements that are possible in safety, capacity and efficiency.
