1. Summary of the results of discussions in the aviation panel
Russell Dudley
The European Regions Airline Association (ERA)

2. Agenda Our recommendations for the User Requirements Document
Our perceived R&D needs
Answers to the strategic questions asked from us

3. Priority applications for aviation
EGNOS and Galileo serving all users needs for navigation
All VFR users will benefit from EGNOS/Galileo
RNP APCH down to LPV to all IFR runway ends by 2024
New market: RNP APCH down to LPV to non-instrument runways: more than airports!
GBAS to CATII/III with Galileo
Helicopter operations with EGNOS: Low Level routes, PinS
LPV combined with Enhanced Vision Systems, Synthetic Vision Systems
Advanced operations: curved/steep approaches, flexible slopes, displaced threshold with EGNOS
SBAS for potential future parallel approaches

4. Priority applications for aviation
EGNOS is essential for ADS-B positioning
Lightweight portable solutions for GA needed
‘ADS-B in’ applications
ADS-B in Class G enhancing situational awareness
Supporting radar rationalisation
Aircraft tracking and autonomous distress tracking
Accurate positioning to locate aircraft in distress in dynamic situation
Early identification of distress situations
Drones
U-Space
Geofencing
Detect and avoid
Robust Navigation and surveillance

5. Highlights of our recommendations for the User Requirements document
Navigation
Surveillance
Keep up the work on LPV implementation on the non-instrument runways!
GSA to support Aviation authorities in PBN implementation and usage
Ensure EGNOS coverage for EU-28 with LPV and LPV200 service
EGNOS compliance with ICAO Annex 10
Robustness is a must: protection vs spoofing/jamming
SBAS is the only technology which can satisfy 99.9% availability
Resilience is a must to enable ADS-B as primary means
Interoperability is a must
ADS-B in and out essential in all airspace
Search and Rescue
Endorse continued work on remote ELT activation with Galileo RLS
RPAS/Drones
Galileo superior performance in multipath environment facilitates operations in urban areas, canyons, etc.
EGNOS and Galileo enables geofencing accuracy and integrity
Keep the discussion on GNSS Performance requirements ongoing!

6. Summary of our recommendations for the User Requirements document
It was a tough but productive work --- > Keep it up!
Good to have all applications and requirements in one single document!
Very useful to have all value chain representatives around the table: ANSPs, CAAs, airspace users from all communities: regional, business, general aviation), avionics, device manufacturer and even drones!
Clear performance parameters and schedule for Galileo: airspace users need time to get equipped

7. Our identified R&D needs
Wake vortex free separation approaches for mixed aircraft categories
GBAS GAST-F with DFMC (CAT II/III approaches)
Approaches to lower minima and taxiing guidance using SBAS and EVS/ SVS
EGNOS enabled system performance under a multilink ADS-B environment
MASPs for remote ELT activation for autonomous distress tracking
Drones: Detect and avoid, geofencing, robust navigation based on EGNOS and Galileo, Authenticated communication link, concept for VLL-drones navigation requirements

8. Answers to the questions asked
Which are the technologies/systems that can fulfil the requirements of your sector today?
EGNOS, GPS, ILS, GBAS, DME/DME
Out of these technologies, which is the primary PNT solution at the moment, what are the alternative technologies you are using as backup?
Primary Means: GPS / EGNOS
Alternates: DME/DME, INS
What is your perception for the evolution of your requirements and related primary and alternative PNT systems in the next 10/15 years?
A progress move to primary means GNSS based on Galileo / GPS augmented by A-RAIM and EGNOS
