Dear Members:
The U.S. Senate recently passed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization with language that would ensure critical steps are taken toward overhauling the nation’s outdated Air Traffic Control system, including the funding of aircraft equipage and efficient procedures and routings. Please take a moment to ask your Congressional Representatives to support the Senate’s language. A template is provided below.

Thank you,

Dear Representative [Representative’s Name]:
On behalf of [Name of organization] in [location], I ask that you support Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization that will provide for the most coordinated and efficient approach to modernizing the nation’s air traffic control system. In particular, I encourage you to support language from the recently passed U.S. Senate bill, which included 1) authorization for the FAA to fund aircraft equipage, thereby complementing FAA investments in the modern ground infrastructure required to realize benefits that will come from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast’s (ADS-B) more precise and informed management of airspace capacity, and 2) a timeline for the FAA to develop new routings and procedures that will translate into noticeable benefits for travelers and air carriers.
[Name of organization] strongly believes that reliable and efficient air transportation is critical to our nation’s economic vitality. Along with the National Alliance to Advance NextGen, I urge you to accelerate the implementation of the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System ( NextGen) that would overhaul the existing radar-based system and ensure that air transportation meets the near and long term needs of our nation.
Sincerely,
[Name/ Organization]
