1. An Airline Perspective
Prepared by Capt. Ian Varcoe, Air New Zealand

2. PERFORMANCE BASED WHAT ?
COMMUNICATIONS
HF – What standards
Datalink – First performance based communications
SATVOICE
NAVIGATION
MNPS
RNAV
RNP
RNP SAAAR
SURVEILLANCE
China graph pencil
Radar
ADS C
ADS B (Computer integrations)

3. ADVANTAGES FOR THE AIRLINE
MNPS
RNP 10
FANS 1/A (1995)
SEPARATION BASED ON ALL THREE ELEMENTS
Optimum routing
UPR’s
DARP’S
Navigation closer to obstacles/ restricted airspace, etc.
Less fuel / greater payload
Less time

4. DIFFICULTIES AIM NON STANDARD PROCEDURES ATC in one location
Pilots fly in many airspaces
Infrastructure world wide
LEADS TO
Errors
Therefore reduced performance
Therefore increased separation
Less than optimum performance
AIM
Standards infrastructure and operations world wide
FANS – The GOLD standard
CAA / ICAO
Lack of timely documentation
Nothing to certify against
Nothing to gain operational approval against

5. AIR NEW ZEALAND’S BENEFITS
FANS 1 (FIRST AIRLINE WITH OPERATIONS APPROVAL)
OPTIMUM ROUTING AND ALTITUDES BASED ON AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
GREATER PAYLOAD ON ULTRA LONGHAUL
LOWER FLIGHT TIMES
RNP AR
ZQN
Greater reliability of service
Increased payload
Safety
Also used at WLG and ROT

6. WISHES USE OF AIRBORNE CAPABILITY
WORLDWIDE TIMELY GROUND IMPLEMENTATION
(Justifies Airline Financial Commitment)
STANDARD PROCEDURES
TIMELY DOCUMENTATION
OPEN MINDS
ENHANCED SAFETY
