Notes: The numbers given in the table refer to the 95% accuracy requirements (NM)
RNP 2 and Advanced-RNP 1 are expected to be included in a future revision of the PBN Manual;
1b means that the area of application can only be used after the initial climb of a missed approach phase
1c means that beyond 30 NM from the airport reference point (ARP), the accuracy value for alerting becomes 2 NM
1a means that the navigation application is limited to use on STARs and SIDs only;
RNAV 5/2/1
RNP 2

19. What is an Airspace Concept?
A master plan of the intended airspace design and its operation
Describes the intended operations within an airspace
Developed to satisfy explicit and implicit strategic objectives (improved safety, increased air traffic capacity, improved efficiency, mitigation of environmental impact)
A fully developed Airspace Concept:
Describes in detail the airspace organization and its operations
Addresses all the strategic objectives identified for the project
Addresses all CNS/ATM enablers
Identifies all operational and technical assumptions

20. Why develop an Airspace Concept?
Airspace Concept development provides a structured and systematic way of determining
What is to be achieved in an airspace, and
How it will be achieved
The development process helps ensure
Goals (expected benefits) of planned airspace structure are clearly stated;
Objectives of the airspace change are met; and
The means to achieve these goals are appropriate and feasible within the resources available to the airspace system

21. What does it look like?
An Airspace Concept can be in any document format
Maintain configuration control!

22. What is the most critical point in developing an Airspace Concept?
Setting the appropriate objectives and scope
Enables the project team to remain focused and the budget to be managed within the set time
Most projects which fail to meet the intended goal do so because of poorly defined scope and objectives.
Beware of project creep!

23. Once the Airspace Concept is developed, what’s next?
Lay out a detailed program plan for the specific implementation(s) in the Airspace Concept
ICAO sample action plans (domain-specific and comprehensive)
Consider just as a starting point
Adapt as needed to the specific circumstances of a project
Steps not always conducted in strict sequence
Certain steps may be conducted on a recurring basis as the project progresses
Steps and the sequence in which they are performed in the project should be evaluated by the implementation team on the basis of experience and judgment
