An Airline Perspective Prepared by Capt. Ian Varcoe, Air New Zealand
PERFORMANCE BASED WHAT ? • COMMUNICATIONS • HF – What standards • Datalink – First performance based communications • SATVOICE • NAVIGATION • MNPS • RNAV • RNP • RNP SAAAR • SURVEILLANCE • China graph pencil • Radar • ADS C • ADS B(Computer integrations)
ADVANTAGES FOR THE AIRLINE • MNPS • RNP 10 • FANS 1/A (1995) SEPARATION BASED ON ALL THREE ELEMENTS • Optimum routing • UPR’s • DARP’S • Navigation closer to obstacles/ restricted airspace, etc. • Less fuel / greater payload • Less time
DIFFICULTIES • NON STANDARD PROCEDURES • ATC in one location • Pilots fly in many airspaces • Infrastructure world wide • LEADS TO • Errors • Therefore reduced performance • Therefore increased separation • Less than optimum performance AIM • Standards infrastructure and operations world wide • FANS – The GOLD standard • CAA / ICAO • Lack of timely documentation • Nothing to certify against • Nothing to gain operational approval against
AIR NEW ZEALAND’S BENEFITS • FANS 1 (FIRST AIRLINE WITH OPERATIONS APPROVAL) • OPTIMUM ROUTING AND ALTITUDES BASED ON AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • GREATER PAYLOAD ON ULTRA LONGHAUL • LOWER FLIGHT TIMES • RNP AR • ZQN • Greater reliability of service • Increased payload • Safety • Also used at WLG and ROT
WISHES • USE OF AIRBORNE CAPABILITY • WORLDWIDE TIMELY GROUND IMPLEMENTATION (Justifies Airline Financial Commitment) • STANDARD PROCEDURES • TIMELY DOCUMENTATION • OPEN MINDS • ENHANCED SAFETY
