Mapping the Skies for Increased Safety.

- Abstract
The article reports on an announcement made by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that it will use Oracle 10g and Oracle 10g Spatial to create precise electronic maps of the skies. These highly complex geographic information systems will provide pilots with instrument flight procedures to help them safely navigate airspace. The scalability and advanced spatial functions of the new system will allow the FAA to more easily manage large volumes of geospatial data and produce charting that evolves with the changing terrain.
