Extract from Report of the 44th DGCA Conference …

“During the 44th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Region in October 2007, IATA expressed that implementation of Performance Based Navigation provides significant safety, efficiency and environmental benefits to operators and service providers.”

Benefits to ANSPsBenefits to ANSPs

PBN benefits to ANSPs are recognized and being utilized globally. According to the FAA, PBN provides the following benefits:

Increase predictability of operations

Reduce controller/aircraft communications

Reduce fuel burn with more continuous vertical descents

Reduce miles flown in Terminal Radar Approach Control airspace

Reduce interaction between dependent flows in multiplex airspace

“RNAV and RNP specifications facilitate more efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result in improved safety, access, capacity, predictability, operational efficiency, and environmental effects. Specifically, improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal area procedures. They also provide fuel and emissions savings.”

Commitment from Stakeholders– ICAO– IATA– CANSO– IFATCA– IFALPA– IBAC– ICCAIA– ACI– FHA– FSF

But we need also work together with military……….

History

:

Growing demand for solutions to airspace congestionGrowing fuel efficiency requirementsGrowing Environmental requirements Growing demand for RNAV approaches (safety, accessibility)

Most can be met with current technology, but standardization and operational requirements have to be put into place

14

ICAO recognizes the problems

• Need for focal point in ICAO to address problems experienced with RNP Concept (GNSSP/4 recommendation 1/1)

• ICAO approves establishment of Required Navigation Performance Special Operational Requirements Study Group (RNPSORSG) as coordinating group

15

Adjustment to the RNP concept required

• Clear distinction between operations that require performance monitoring and alerting and operations that don’t require performance monitoring and alerting

• Harmonization of current RNAV and RNP operations

• Development of new navigation specifications to meet operational demand.

• Need for clear operational approval requirements

• Need for clear implementation guidance

16

Agreeing PBN

• PBN specifies RNAV system performance i.e. accuracy, integrity,

continuity, availability + functionality; - written up in navigation

specifications

RNP X specifications RNAV X specifications

Require on-boardperformance monitoring+ alerting

Do not require on-boardperformance monitoring+ alerting

This is different than the RNP concept, which stressed navigation accuracy and ‘stopped’ at required performance. However, PBN is anchored in detailed navigation specifications, which contain performance and functionality requirements.

Route Spacing – ICAO 4444

30

5.4.1.2.1.5 RNAV operations where RNP is specified on parallel tracks or ATS routes.

Within designated airspace or on designated routes, where RNP is specified, lateral separation between RNAV-equipped aircraft may be obtained by requiring aircraft to be established on the center lines of parallel tracks or ATS routes spaced at a distance which ensures that the protected airspace of the tracks or ATS routes does not overlap.

•PANS OPS Doc 8168, Vol II, Part III– RNP area semi-width is determined by the formula: 1.5(XTT) + BV– Where: BV = buffer value (see PANS-OPS Vol II)

•The calculation for a RNAV 2 enroute is shown below:XTT = 2.00 NM; BV= 2.00 NMarea semi-width = 1.5(2.00) + 2.00 = 5.00 NM

Who develops an Airspace Concept? • A team effort by representatives of various organizations and technical

specialties• Composition of the team depends on the scale and nature of the project

– A simple airspace concept (e.g. a SID, STAR and IAP) would have experts from• ANSP (including PANS OPS procedure designer)• Military• civil aviation regulator• airport operator • operators’ representative

– A more extensive Airspace Concept ( e.g. new runway, plan for terminal and enroute airspace) could also include

• safety management system experts • simulation studies experts• environmental personnel

Conclusions• Economy and Air traffic is growing in fast

speed• With conventional nav systems much extra

airspace is needed from military; PBN can reduce this requirement

• PBN allows flexible implementation, can give benefits to both

• Successful implementation requires all stake holders involvement, including military

A37-11 PBN Global Targets• States complete a PBN Implementation Plan

to achieve:

– Approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV (Baro-VNAV) including LNAV-only minima for all instrument runway ends by 2016:

• 30% by 2010, 70% by 2014

– Straight-in LNAV only procedures as an exception to the above where there is:

• no local altimeter setting; and • no aircraft equipped for APV with max certified mass

of 5700kg or more
