2. Purpose Increase the implementation of PBN through:
Improved capability in the use of the PBN concept in planning / designing airspace
Improved understanding of Stakeholder involvement in PBN implementation planning

3. Expected Visit Outcome
Understand application of PBN airspace design concepts
Apply Airspace designs from the workshop as basis for implementation
Increased civil/military
cooperation

11. …But still not implemented worldwide!

12. A37-11 PBN Global Targets
States complete a PBN Implementation Plan to achieve:
Approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV (Baro-VNAV) including LNAV-only minima for all instrument runway ends by 2016:
30% by 2010, 70% by 2014
Straight-in LNAV only procedures as an exception to the above where there is:
no local altimeter setting; and
no aircraft equipped for APV with max certified mass of 5700kg or more

19. What has ICAO done to help States with implementation? . . .
18 November 2018

20. PBN 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 PBN Use 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)
* New
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.

23. PBN Endorsement – IFP Organizations
Endorsement of Instrument procedure design organizations
Consistent with other endorsements (training)
To assist States with PBN Implementation
Organizations listed on ICAO PBN Web-site:
Airways New Zealand
ASAP s.r.o. (Slovakia)
CAAC Central-Southern Airport Design & Research Institute (China)
GE Aviation (USA)
Hughes Aerospace (USA)
Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A (Italy)
Name of Organization
Another example, to support implementation, we have now launched the endorsement programme, endorsing external organizations that have demonstrated to meet certain criteria, terms and conditions to develop instrument procedures. The benefits are two-fold; first it facilitates Regulators having difficulty to select proper consultants for the development of the procedures in their State and secondly it could be a tool for avoiding the need for multiple State endorsements, hence reducing costs.

24. Flight Procedures Programme (FPP)
Beijing, China
Now in Regional Sub-Office
Dakar, Senegal
FPP Office established June 2014
