CHINA GO TEAM VISIT 2014PBN Explained Erwin Lassooij ICAO PBN Programme Manager
PBN Conventional Need for PBN 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.” 2
E F D C PBN Routes A Shorter Routes …. More Routes Possible ... B • Efficiency and Flexibility - Improve efficiency and flexibility by reducing reliability on the locations of ground-based navigation aids 3
Benefits 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.” 5
Commitment from Stakeholders • ICAO • IATA • CANSO • IFATCA • IFALPA • IBAC • ICCAIA • ACI • FHA • FSF
History : Growing demand for solutions to airspace congestion Growing fuel efficiency requirements Growing 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 12

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
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
Require on-board performance monitoring + alerting Do not require on-board performance monitoring + alerting Agreeing PBN • PBN specifies RNAV system performance i.e. accuracy, integrity, continuity, availability + functionality; - written up in navigation specifications 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 performanceand functionalityrequirements. RNP X specifications RNAV X specifications

Components of PBN Concept- Navigation Application - NAVIGATION APPLICATION 1 3 • The APPLICATION (use of) the Navigation Specification and Navaid Infrastructure - • For example: Routes based on RNAV and RNP Specifications (these rely on the Navaid Infrastructure); • For example: SIDs/STARs based on RNAV and RNP Specifications; • For example: Approach procedures based on RNP Specifications
Route Spacing – ICAO 4444 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.
Route Spacing Generic model used to determine separation and ATS Route spacing
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 NM area semi-width = 1.5(2.00) + 2.00 = 5.00 NM = 10 NM between route centerlines Lateral Separation

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
Create Airspace Design Team • Lead by ATM/airspace specialist • ATC (Approach and Area controllers) • ATM & CNS specialist • Procedure designers • Technical pilots • …… Depending on airspace structure, military are consulted first
Arrivals • Departures • Transit • VFR • Military AVOID trying to fit the routes into the existing airspace volumes
Have the Safety and Performance Criteria been satisfied; • Have the required changes been made to the ATM system; • Have the required changes been made to the ground navigation systems; • Have the both Civil and military pilots and controllers received appropriate training. • Do the assumptions and conditions upon which the Airspace Concept has been developed still pertain. If not, re-consult, including with military
