Visit Summary
Erwin Lassooij
PBN Programme Manager
30 January 2014

2. Purpose Increase the global implementation of PBN through:
Improved capability in the use of the PBN concept in planning / designing airspace
Improved capability in approving PBN Operations (Operations Approvals)

4. ROUTES - WORLD

5. 41%

6. MID implementation status
Dec 2014
Dec 2013

7. Participation
Bahrain
Iraq
Sudan
UAE

8. Go-Team Overview 10 day PBN Airspace Design Workshop
ICAO Doc 9992: PBN in Airspace Design
Plan, Design, Validate, Implement
17 steps
Integration of ICAO Doc 9931 & 9993: CDO and CCO
ICAO Circ 330: Civil / Miitary Cooperation in ATM
Designed routes and airspace in TMA
“Centerville”: Civil / Military: Conditional Routes - CDR 1, 2, 3
Routes designed for dual airports
Phuket / Krabi
Enroute design and multi-TMA integration practice
Southeast Asia

9. Lessons Learned
Team concept: diverse points of view and sources of information add strength
Setting goals and scope early helps insure success
Smaller projects allow for quick success
Take advantage of RNAV flexibility to design for shortest route
Design routes first then design airspace to contain routes
Design routes to minimize conflicts
Avoid the 100% trap – 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing
Rightsize the airspace according to tasks required
Avoid CDO route shortcuts to the extent possible
Shortcut CCO to the extent possible

10. Next Steps
Encourage participants to apply lessons learned in adapting PBN plan and Implement PBN targets
Submit PBN plans as per June 2014 (PBN Sub group)

14. Documentation Framework
PANS Ops Volume II
PBN Manual (Doc 9613) 4th Edition
RNP AR Procedure Design Manual (Doc 9905)
PBN Ops Approval Manual (Doc 9997)
Manual on Use of PBN in Airspace Design (Doc 9992)
CDO Manual (Doc 9931)
CCO Manual (Doc 9993
GNSS Manual (Doc 9849)
Procedure QA Manual (Vol 1 to Vol 6)
(Doc 9906)
4th Edition
In 2008 the PBN manual was published which provides the framework for PBN implementation:
Volume 1 of this manual describes the concepts, the processes to be followed and short descriptions of all required stakeholders
Volume 2 provides the navigation specifications which are the basis for operational requirements and ops approval for aircraft. These ops requirements are also the basis for the navigation applications such as flight procedures and separation and route spacing requirements. This linkage is very important, because now we can make the airspace design fit the fleet capability and not the other way around.
Since the introduction of the PBN manual, the ICAO Annexes have been amended to support the PBN concept, procedures have been amended to support obstacle clearance and separation requirements and a host of new guidance in the form of new manuals.
The original PBN manual contained globally harmonized requirements that were based on specifications that already pre-existed on a national or Rgional level. [CLICK] Now, the latest is the new PBN manual which includes new navspecs, such as Advanced RNP, RNP 2, RNP 0.3 for helis and RF legs. For sure this will be discussed in more detail later in the sessions.
