Users’ Perspective of PBN Achieving Improvements Joël Morin Head, ATM Harmonization

What is IATA?  The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the not-for-profit trade association of airlines.  Our 250 members generate 85% of the total air traffic. © IATA (2015)2

Airlines…  … move people  … move goods  … drive economies  … have very small margins © IATA (2015)3 Asia connects to the World

Airlines’ Need  Minimum Cost  Predictability for Network Operation:  aircraft  cabin crew  air crew  Passengers  Cargo  System level Efficiency © IATA (2015)4

ASBUs – Enablers to Operational Improvement  Airlines do not need or want you to implement ASBUs [including PBN]…  UNLESS the results  … have achievable operational benefits  … that deliver tangible cost offsets © IATA (2015)5

PBN Solutions  Your designs’ benefits must equal or outweigh their costs CostsBenefits societyprovideruserprovideruser © IATA (2015)6

PBN Procedures Must  Be better than the conventional  Consider fleet capabilities  Deliver benefits:  Safety  Environment  Capacity  Efficiency © IATA (2015)7

GANP (2013) states: …  Although the GANP has a worldwide perspective, it is not intended that all Block Modules are required to be applied in every State and region.  Many of the Block Upgrade Modules contained in the GANP are specialized packages that should be applied only where the specific operational requirement exists or corresponding benefits can be realistically projected. © IATA (2015)8

Consider traffic Demand & Capabilities  Arrivals  Departures  Transit  VFR  Military © IATA (2015)15

SOME EXAMPLES… © IATA (2015)16

Atlanta - Toronto  Direct route  645 NM great circle  Unreasonable to fly great circle between 2 busy airports 17© IATA (2015)

Departure…  Need ‘structure’ …  SID  … to manage departures and arrivals interaction  Then allow UPR 18© IATA (2015)

Arrival…  Need ‘structure’ …  STAR  … to manage arrivals  Start the STAR where you need it for:  capacity + efficiency 19© IATA (2015)

Real life 27 May 15  Only 2 waypoints  DCT  User’s choice  Between SID and STAR 20© IATA (2015)

Efficient Departures  Designed to get the traffic on course as soon as possible  Conflictions from Arrivals eliminated through design  Uses aircraft nav capabilities (PBN) © IATA (2015)21

Efficient Arrivals 22 © IATA (2015)

STAR Links to Approach 23

Multiple Scenarios 24

STAR from North East – Landing East 25

STAR from Northwest 26

SID turns under Arrivals 27

In Asia…  There is a need to reduce the efficiency and capacity impact of small FIRs  Initiatives such as the Asia Pacific Seamless ATM Plan provide the opportunity to provide more efficient operations  Flexible Use of Airspace is also seen as an important aspect of PBN implementations – there is a definite need for civil and military authorities to collaborate with airspace users to improve efficient use of airspace. © IATA (2015)28
