ATM Requirements
Setting the Scene ……
2 Issue
• Many Issues (and many solutions) • This Forum’s central theme
MIXED MODE One of the thorniest problems to solve
ATM Requirements Forum - INTRO
3 What is mixed mode?
• In PBN, mixed mode refers to an ATM environment where procedures designed and operations permitted accommodate more than one kind of navigation qualification
• Examples include: – RNAV 1 SIDs/STARs + Conventional SIDs/STARs – RNAV 5 + Conventional ATS Routes – RNP AR APCH procedures + ILS – RNP APCH Baro procedures + GLS
ATM Requirements Forum - INTRO
4 The Implementation Challenge
Mandates of Airborne equipment are the favoured option for efficient ATM …
But can be costly for Airspace users
(if the mandate Is too demanding.)
Phased Implementation is a more popular solution
with airspace users but creates mixed mode.
Currently very difficult for ATC to manage effectively
Mixed Mode
Everyone must be the same Differences allowed
ATM Requirements Forum - INTRO
5 Why have mixed mode?
• € - $ – Even if fleet can be retrofitted, it may cost too
much
• Physical limitations of older aircraft • Physical/Cost limitations of other aircraft
– E.g. military – E.g. bizjets – E.g. GA
ATM Requirements Forum - INTRO
6 Why’s it a challenge?
• Specific routes to accommodate different performance
• Which route spacing? • How does ATC know which clearance to issue?
– The ATC FPL is key….
• How can it be managed from a procedure design perspective?
• What about the data base coding and retrieval?

MIXED MODE
9 Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – First thoughts
• Vantaa had two runways (X) • Parallel Runway to be added to 04/22 • TMA re-design needed
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
10 Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – Principles
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
11 Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – Airspace Concept
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
12
• RNAV 1 needed (pre-PBN P-RNAV in Europe) • Early adopter => lack of guidance material /
specs • Knowing which aircraft are RNAV 1 approved
– Only approx. 50% of operations in the beginning => mixed mode operations only option
Helsinki, Finland – 2002 - Challenge
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
13
• RNAV 1* STAR’s designed in 2000 using vectored tracks of A/C as a basis => Same track miles to all (RNAV 1/non-RNAV 1)
• Implemented despite low RNAV 1 approval rates • At first, ATCOs had to know which A/C were
approved: Easy to learn due limited A/C variety • A/C informed EFHK APP on initial contact if
following RNAV 1 STAR or if on heading • Currently RNAV 1 approval indicated by system,
based on FPL data
Actions
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
14 Helsinki, Finland – Implemented routes
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
15
• RNAV 1 SID’s introduced in 2003 – Less than 50% of operations capable of flying them – A/C departed on headings => problems with noise =>
reverted back to conventional SID’s
• Currently RNAV 1 SID’s in use – Reduced noise impact – A/C shall inform ATC if unable to follow RNAV 1 SID =>
will be given an initial heading as part of clearance
Actions
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
16
• Benefits – Shorter tracks inside TMA – CDO – Noise impact reduced – AMAN – Reduced workload in HK – Increased efficiency in airspace use
• Glider areas • Danger areas
Results
ATM Requirements Forum – Airspace Design
17
• Operating in mixed mode operations in EFHK not difficult and does not increase ATC load – Since STAR’s are based on actual tracks used when
vectoring, mixed mode operations not a problem • Benefits outweigh risks/challenges • Introduction of RNAV 1 SID’s/STAR’s has helped in
reducing noise impact • RNAV 1 SID’s should not be implemented before
sufficient A/C approval rate is achieved
Lessons Learned

Procedure Design
Noppadol Pringvanich Manager, ICAO APAC Flight Procedure
Programme 17 October 2012
MIXED MODE
19
• In mixed traffic environment, different aircraft may have different equipment and PBN approvals.
• Some GNSS equipped aircraft are capable of RNP AR. Some only are capable of RNP APCH.
• Non-GNSS equipped aircraft are still in operation. – ILS is still required for their operations and often ILS
approaches have lower operating minima than RNAV(GNSS)
• Having different aircraft flying different flight paths increase ATC workload and may result in increased safety risks.
Challenges
ATM Requirements Forum – Procedure Design
20
How can we design terminal area procedures to support aircrafts with different equipmentsand PBN
approvals, while harmonizing traffic pattern and controlling ATC workload?
Challenges
ATM Requirements Forum – Procedure Design
21
• Airport with VOR and ILS • Conventional ATS routes connecting to the VOR • Current operation RADAR vector to intercept ILS • All aircrafts have VOR and ILS • 80% of aircrafts are approved for RNAV 1 or RNP 1 • 60% are approved for RNP APCH • 10% are approved for RNP AR
Typical Scenario

23
• Proper design of RNAV 1 or RNP 1 SID/STAR – Consider proper altitude for crossing points between
ARR/DEP
• Common IAFs of VOR/ILS/RNAV (GNSS) approaches – As much as practicable
• Common IFs of VOR/ILS/RNAV (GNSS) approaches – As much as practicable
• Consistent Missed Approach Procedures and Holdings

Database Coding and Publication
Sorin-Dan Onitiu Jeppesen
17 October 2012
An inter-disciplinary overview of PBN design, coding and charting
MIXED MODE
32
Generally, basic procedure design has been created for the ‘analog world’;
The art of ‘procedure coding’ is one that balances the intent of design and the FMS requirements
No common standard implemented to have same information charts vs. database
Virtually all the aeronautical databases are loaded according to ARINC 424 standard which specs cover
a large percentage of aeronautical requirements, but not all combinations
Issue: Chart, Database, and Avionics Harmonization
33
Ground-Navaid, Complicated, Rigid paths, Non-standard, Manually flow:
Analog World
Satellite, Simple, Flexible paths, Standard shape, database-driven:

Challenge: Role of database & evolution of PD criteria

Results: Charts & Procedure coding
35 Approach Coding & Design
Route Type concept – includes a ‘primary route type’ and up to two ‘route type qualifiers’ Q1& Q2;
Description: a) Approach Transition (Route Type ‘A’); b) Final Approach Transition (Route Type ‘R’ = APV, ‘H’ = RNP PBN
or ‘J’ = GLS) c) Missed Approach Transition (Route Type ‘Z’);
35 ATM Requirements Forum – Database Coding & Publication
36 Approach Coding Structure
Fixes associated with approach coding
ARINC 424 PANS-OPS
Approach Transition IAF – FACF* Initial Segment IAF - IF
Final Transition FACF* – MAP
Intermediate and Final Segments
IF – FAF - MAPt
Missed Approach Transition MAP – MAHP or end of MA
Initial/Intermediate/ Final MA Segments
MAPt – end of MA phase
* FACF (ARINC) = IF (PANS-OPS)
Final Approach Transition: As a minimum, the coding of final segment must include a fix for the FAF and MAP. A third fix called FACF has to be always included when ‘design’ IF is published.

Coding
✈ Vertical Angle for NPA is always included in all straight-in NPA coding solution;
✈ An FMS usually ‘builds’ a profile backwards from a point 50ft above the threshold to the initial (FAF and/or SDF);
MDA and DA are NOT part of the approach coding solution!
✈ Altitude at MAP fix is NOT any of procedure MDA, but it’s a computed mandatory value;
PBN design/charting & coding considerations
ATM Requirements Forum – Database Coding & Publication
40 PBN design/charting & coding considerations
Coding of speed restrictions
Speed/Altitude restrictions applied at the waypoint: general situation like ‘Below FL100/IAS 250KT’ has no procedure coding solution;
For approaches, speed limit in FMS will be applied forward throughout the procedure until superseded by another speed limit.
Speed limitation depicted ‘somewhere’ during a turn shall be associated with a waypoint.
40 ATM Requirements Forum – Database Coding & Publication
41 PBN design/charting & coding considerations
Coding of altitude constraints
Altitude constraints have to be clearly associated to a fix; No appropriate coding solution for
minimum segment altitude or MEA’s.
‘Expect altitude’, “Recommended’, “Tactical” procedure altitude cannot be translated appropriately in FMS box language;

Lessons Learned/Summary
Collaboration of all team players is highly recommended!
✈ ARINC 424 is the encoding standard for navigational database consumed by FMS;
✈ For the data houses, ARINC 424 provides the measure of standardization
they can apply; ✈ However: “All things are not equal” in the world of FMS & how they execute a procedure
defined with Path & Terminator legs; Most of limitations are coming from the FMS execution logic and not procedure
design constraints; ARINC 424 is not a “charting standard “ file structure (it maybe addressed by the NDB
industry group; Challenges DB/Publication , specifically for “Mixed –Mode” operations (cannot
properly be reflected in the FMS);
