ASIA AND PACIFIC REGIONSAIR NAVIGATION PLAN(Doc 9673) COMMUNICATION, NAVIGATION & SURVEILLANCE (CNS)
COMMUNICATIONS • AERONAUTICAL FIXED SERVICE • AFS to meet AIS, ATS, MET, SAR & aircraft operators’ all comm. requirements • AFTN based on Doc 8259. AFTN over public internet cost effective medium. • Planning ATS ground-ground network to include voice communication requirements • ‘Strategy for Implementation updated - APANPIRG/17 (2006)’. Interface for AFTN. • ATN transition expected to be implemented in three phases: • Phase 1. Upgrade existing AFTN circuit where necessary • Phase 2. Implement regional ATN Backbone BIS (by 2011) • Phase 3. Implement supporting ATN BIS • Implement ATN application AIDC to enable exchange of ATS messages • Complete implementation of dual stack ATN by 2011 (APANPIRG Conclusion 19/20) for BBIS hubs
CNS – FASID PART IVAERONAUTICAL FIXED SERVICE (AFS) 1. ICDs to ensure standardization of protocols for AFTN, AMHS, AIDC, Router and DSC. 2. APANPIRG/19 urges BBIS States - complete implementation dual stack ATN by 2011.
AMS – FASID PART IV • ICAO Asia and Pacific Office maintains frequency selection and coordination • Strategy for provision of AMS in APAC updated by APANPIRG/18 Sept 2007 • VHF channel separation of 25 KHz to continue • VHF voice backed by CPDLC and HF for transcontinental traffic • combination of CPDLC and HF voice for oceanic traffic • voice communication supplemented by DFIS (DVOLMET, DATIS and PDC) to be used to reduce pressure on VHF spectrum congestion • Frequency band 136 – 137 MHz exclusively for air-ground VHF data-link • Air-to-Air channel (123.450 MHz) to be used over remote oceanic area when contact with ground on VHF is not feasible
NAVIGATION • EN-ROUTE AND TERMINAL AREA RADIO NAVIGATION AIDS • Expected GNSS will meet all requirements of en-route navigation. Pending transition to GNSS, VOR supplemented by DME to be used. • GNSS expected to meet Terminal area requirement to support approach, holding & departure . Basic GNSS & SBAS as initial transition step. Where possible VOR to serve both terminal & en-route. NDB can be used for holding. • Consideration to be given to the provision of suitably located DMEs in support of RNAV procedures based on DME/DME • Consideration to be given to approach with vertical guidance • Non-precision approaches to support SIDs & STARs and to eliminate stepped approach. Should provide 3o approach. RNAV procedures based on terminal area aids (VOR/DME, DME/DME) or GNSS (Basic GNSS, SBAS or GBAS)
NAVIGATION – FASID & STRATEGY FASID TABLE CNS - 3 • FASID Table CNS 3 for ground & satellite based navigation aids • Flight inspection capability available in regional Catalogue of Flight Inspection Units NAVIGATION STRATEGY FOR ASIA/PACIFIC REGION • Transition to PBN operations: RNP10/RNP4 for oceanic & remote, RNAV5/RNAV2 for continental en-route, RNAV1/RNAV2 and Basic RNP1 based arrival/departures, APV (including Baro-VNAV), PA for selected runways. • Retain ILS for as long as it is operationally/economically acceptable • Implement GNSS augmentation for APV and PA where operationally required and economically beneficial • Protect all Aeronautical Radio Navigation Services (ARNS) frequencies
SURVEILLANCE – FASID & STRATEGY • FASID Tables CNS4A contains information on surveillance systems and CNS 4B contains information on the ATS automation systems in the region. SURVEILLANCE STRATEGY FOR ASIA/PACIFIC REGION • Minimize reliance on position reporting, particularly voice reporting & Primary Radar • Maximize contiguous coverage and use of ADS-B on major routes/terminal areas • Make full use of SSR Mode ‘S’ capabilities, reduce reliance on 4 digit octal code • Make use of ADS-C when ADS-B, SSR or multilateration not supported • Multilateration for surface, terminal & area surveillance • Improve safety through sharing ATS surveillance data across FIR boundaries • Communication, navigation & data management to support surveillance • Safety through aircraft-derived data like flight identification, trajectories and intentions
ASIA AND PACIFIC REGIONSAIR NAVIGATION PLAN(Doc 9673) AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT • Objective • ‘ATM should enable aircraft operators to meet their planned times of departure and arrival and adhere to their preferred flight profiles with minimum constraints without compromising agreed levels of safety.’ • 1. Permanent segregation (between civil & military) of airspace to be avoided. • 2. Introduction of CNS/ATM for more efficiency and reduction of FIR numbers • 3. States to implement Repetitive Flight Plan, where beneficial • 4. ATS Systems & Procedures should enable: • a) most efficient use of airspace, enable min air-ground comm freq & SSR code change • c) timely transmission of MET, hazardous, operational flight information • d) use of uniform altimeter setting procedures • e) common transition altitude on area/region basis
AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (Contd.) • 5. Annex 11, 2.26 requires States to implement safety management programmes. Requisites for regulatory arrangements to monitor safety management are: • Provision in basic aviation law, code of air navigation regulations & promulgation • Establishment of State body with powers to ensure compliance with regulations • 6. Single SAR point of contact for each SRR 7. Lateral limits for ATS routes based on the following planning principles • Routes defined by VOR will assume accuracy of +/- 5 degree • Routes defined by NDB will assume accuracy of +/- 7 degree • Will also depend upon the flight calibration observations • Overall width of airway defined by navigation aid not less than 4NM on either side up to 20,000ft and 5NM on either side above 20,000ft • Width of an airway not defined by ground based navigation aid < 50NM on either side of track.
ATS ROUTES • Detailed in BASIC ANP (Doc 9673, Volume I), hence amendments require authorization by President on behalf of Council. • Table ATS 1 records basic description of each route, including route name (designator) and significant points defining each route • Schematic presentation of ATS routes shown in Charts ATS 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D • Asia/Pacific Route Catalogue developed as tool to assist APAC route implementation management. Route Catalogue does NOT replace BANP amendment and Council approval process.
