Video is already 3 years old... so wouldn't hold breath. But yes, I love the digital future and the possible amazing use of FIS-B services.

It is interesting that approach charts are still all formulated via text description and the FAA / Jeppeson are rendered from this (at least of 4 years ago), so superimposing the closed runways etc or all possible NOTAMS in an automated fashion may be quite difficult.

How do the airlines get NOTAMs from FIS-B/ADS-B? It is pretty trivial for us bugsmashers using the G1000 or even Foreflight/Garmin, etc. I have been amazed at the traffic I don't see when I first got my ADS-B setup.

Have any of you guys used the NextGen DataComm services yet (not just ERAM)? I think that will be widely operational in a few years, another huge game-changer.
