Focus on ‘BNE style’ solutions. • This will provide access for all appropriately equipped fleets • Ensure sufficient approaches are available for training. • A commencement point as close as possible on the current STARs (e.g. LOGSA, POKOM) • Allow late clearance capability to improve flexibility for controllers and crew
Time to Focus on ATM and the Environment • Airports other than ‘terrain challenged’ • Significant gain in track miles will benefit all traffic, not only the RNP AR capable a/c • Caution! In the ‘noise versus environment’ contest, noise (almost) always wins!
