Evolution to PBN – RNP

✈ RNP concept ✈ Initially defined by ICAO Special Committee on Future Air Navigation

Systems (FANS) for “Required Navigation Performance Capability” (RNPC)

✈ Refined by ICAO Review of the General Concept of Separation Panel to “Required Navigation Performance” (RNP)

✈ ICAO Doc 9613 Manual on Required Navigation Performance (First Edition 1993) ✈ RNP: “A statement of the navigation performance necessary for operation within a

defined airspace”

RNAV and RNP

Globally applicable navigation applications required. RNP majored on accuracy.

Implementations need specific functionality as well as accuracy.

Evolution to PBN – a new definition

Navigation based on

specified system performance requirements for aircraft operating on a air traffic route,

instrument approach procedure, or

in a designated airspace

Airspace Design & PBN

✈ Separation minima in procedural environment;

✈ Configuration/proximity of ATS Routes (including SIDs, STARs, Holds and IAPs) for an airspace organisation.

✈ Determined in part, but not exclusively by

area navigation system performance stipulated in the Navigation Specification (required for operation in an airspace).

What’s new with PBN

✈ Certified RNAV system needed

✈ Operational approval needed

✈ Different sensors can be used to achieve the same performance

Benefits of PBN

✈ Transition to a total RNAV environment ✈ Flight efficiency, optimise airspace etc

✈ PBN systematises RNAV ✈Avoid proliferation of standards (costs for certification)

✈ RNP allows increased reliance on RNAV ✈Closer routes ✈Avoid need to cross check against point source Nav aids

(e.g. VOR) ✈ Infrastructure

✈Dense airspace – if GNSS dual constellation or DME/DME available, VOR and NDB can be decommissioned

✈ Low traffic volumes – single constellation GNSS may be acceptable
