12. COMMUNICATION, NAVIGATION & SURVEILLANCE (CNS) INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSITION STRATEGIES
DCA, MYANMAR

13. Existing CNS Infrastructure
Communication Capability
7 VHF RCAG Stations being provided for air/ground communication. HF will be used in some VHF gaps coverage and CPDLC also available for ADS/CPDLC equipage aircraft which are operating in oceanic remote airspace.
Navigation
Conventional ground-based navigation aids, such as the VOR, ILS and DME, are used to provide navigational guidance to aircraft. NDB is also available to serve for approach procedure in all airports.
Surveillance
For surveillance, THREE MSSR radars are main surveillance system used in Yangon FIR. 2 ADS-B Stations have been installed for fulfill Surveillance gap of Bay of Bengal.
3 ADS-B Ground stations will be installed as backup for existing MSSR Radars in DCA Myanmar also plans to install another TWO MSSR radars and one PSR Radar for more safe and efficient airspace subject to traffic growth in both international and Domestic.

14. Transition Strategies to PBN Procedures
During transition to PBN, sufficient ground infrastructure for conventional navigation systems will be available.
After implementation of new Navigation Specification, operators will be given reasonable prior notification to allow them to equip appropriately to attain required navigation performance
In long term, examination of phasing out of NDB and other ground infrastructure in Yangon FIR will be considered.
Decommissioning of existing ground infrastructure will be done with caution to ensure that safety is not compromised.
Consultation with other stakeholders and safety assessment will be conducted through National PBN Project Team.

19. SAFETY ASSESSMENT
DCA, MYANMAR

20. Safety Assessment
In undertaking a safety assessment for the implementation of PBN, Myanmar will:
Establish and maintain a database of PBN approvals for Myanmar
registered aircraft;
Pre-implementation - conduct safety assessments for PBN
implementation in terminal, approach and en-route airspace;
Post-implementation - conduct review, if necessary, after
implementation of PBN procedures.
DCA Myanmar will undertake safety Assessment for PBN Terminals and
Approach procedures of Yangon and Mandalay International Airports with
technical support of ICAO RSO.
After completion of PBN Terminal and Approach Procedures for Fifteen
(15) Airports as mentioned timeline , Safety Assessment will
be undertaken by DCA and Japan JICA.
