  1. PBN implementation project at Greek (Island) airports Anthony van der Veldt Assistant Director Safety, Operations & Infrastructure IATA, European Regional Office Brussels

  2. PBN Benefits The full usage of the available on-board avionic PBN capabilities provides for the following safety and economic benefits: • Reduce fuel consumption/ environmental impact by using stabilized approaches • Improve safety by • Simplifying and standardizing design and training • Reducing cockpit workload • Replacing Circling, NDB approaches (avoiding NPA) • Enhance efficiency by shortening of routings • Improve continuity of airline operations • Improve access to runways • LNAV/VNAV minima as low as, i.e. 250 ft AGL and above • Less diversions RATF Meetring

  3. Airline expectations PBN Approach Procedures • Airlines are very much interested in PBN procedures: • Implementing ICAO Resolution A37-11 • RNP APCH including APV BaroVNAV procedures acc. EASA AMC 20-27 • SBAS approaches not emphasized as most IATA members do not have such capability and will not invest either due to negative Business Case • PBN offers RNP AR procedures to cope with mountainous terrain • RNP AR APCH acc. EASA AMC 20-26 • RF-legs and RNP smaller than 0.3 (down to 0.1) • (e.g. Airberlin has excellent experience at Innsbruck, ie. less diversions, less complex approach) • RNP AR has stringent requirements for airline/crew, similar to ILS CATII/III RATF Meetring

  9. Summary Report 5 Apr 12 Meeting (2) Airport selection and PBN procedures: • Heraklion (HER) and Korfu (CFU) airports were selected to start with and gain experience • As a first priority RNP APCH (straight-in) procedure implementation was emphasized for HER RWY27 and CFU RWY35. • Additionally, RNP AR procedures at HER RWY09 and CFU RWY17 RATF Meetring

  10. Heraklion • Heraklion (LGIR) the second busiest airport in Greece during summer PBN • RWY27: RNP APCH • Complement or replace existing straight-in VOR or NDB approaches • Straight-in RNP APCH APV BaroVNAV approach (RNAV GNSS approach) • RWY 09: RNP AR • Approach procedure (only visual procedures are actually available) RATF Meetring

  11. Corfu Actual situation / procedures • Corfu (LGKR) has big percentage of diverted aircrafts due to weather • Straight in procedure starting from 9NM with an RNAV IAF. • Most often visibility is good and a right hand visual pattern to RWY35 is flown east of the airport. • West of the airport is not possible due to terrain • Medium intensity approach lights of 500 m length, no runway center lights • VOR Y approach chart, the landing minimum is 2000 ft AGL, due to the obstacles and the lateral inaccuracy of the VOR • Obstacles near RWY17, i.e. antenna of 600ft height at only 500 m (0.25 NM) from the threshold. • RWY 17: No approach lights, No RWY center line lights. • Approach minima are highly dependent on the available lighting, if no lighting to one RWY-end minima are high... • Absence of centerline lights does not improve awareness during night approaches, the runway really appears as a black box in front of the pilot, making visual 3D perception during approach and flare difficult. RATF Meetring

  12. Corfu PBN implementation RWY35: RNP APCH • Complement or replace existing straight-in VOR or NDB approaches • Straight in RNP APCH APV BaroVNAV approach (RNAV GNSS approach) • RNP approach • More precise lateral navigation (0.3 NM) • Reduce landing minima . • Thorough obstacle analysis is absolutely needed to provide for a optimum approach design and allow optimum identification of MDAs/DAs. RATF Meetring

  13. Corfu RWY 17: Draft RNP – AR procedure design • Replaces the visual circling to RWY17 • Includes RF-legs in the final approach segment, and turn radius is calculated / designed to provide for CAT D aircraft • Procedure based on RNP 0.3 • Future lower RNP down to 0.1, improving obstacle clearance and leading to lower minimums •  Successful Simulator Flight validation • mandated by AMC 20-26 • Missed Approach: as officially published (VOR A Circling). RATF Meetring

  14. Way forward Create road map • Outlining the steps to be taken for RNP APCH (& AR) introduction at HER and CFU, incl.: • Airline accountabilities, e.g . what is needed for pilot training, documentation, aircraft approval, cost benefit analysis, etc. • Regulatory and ANSPs accountabilities, i.e. what/how needs to be proven and by whom. RATF Meetring

  15. Actions by HCAA: • Establish PoCs accountable for PBN introduction • Become familiar with AMC 20-27 RNP APCH Approval & Certification • Liaise with German regulator LBA to share experience • PBN software design should also be capable of RNP AR procedure design • Start familiarization of ANSP management and ATCO’s at HER and CFU by means of e.g. e-training; PBN courses etc. Actions by OA and A3 • Become familiar with AMC 20-27 requirements and prepare for approval for eligible fleet • Become familiar with PBN procedures for pilots by means of e-learning packages e.g. available with ICAO, IATA, Eurocontrol • Liaise with AB and A3 for sharing experience RATF Meetring

  22. IATA Issues with EASA AMC 20-27 and CM 002 • Aircraft airworthiness and approval criteria are • too stringent • overly conservative for airlines and for aircraft manufacturers to comply with • interpreting the ICAO PANS-OPS design criteria improperly • No consultation with experts or with aircraft operators • As a consequence • a proper proliferation and implementation of RNP APCH including APV/Baro-VNAV are stalling and safety improvements have to wait unacceptably long • investments of airlines in costly navigation avionics cannot be recouped. RATF Meetring

  23. IATA Issues with EASA AMC 20-27 and CM 002 • Stringent elevation criteria of airports with surrounding terrain above 5000 ft MSL will jeopardize airline operations into airports like ADD, JNB, JRO, NBO, Quito • operations are heavily dependent on the availability of the vertical guidance APV/BaroVNAV • circling approach and/or NPA are the only alternatives • The ban of BaroVNAV operations above 5000 ft altitude is artificial • aircraft operators compliant with FAA AC20-129 are not confronted with such limitations which after all are based on the same data (non level playing field) RATF Meetring

  24. IATA Issues with EASA AMC 20-27 and CM 002 • Getting out of the stalemate by accepting airline and OEMs expertise • Focus on the implementation of targeted safety measures instead of adding costly and cumbersome regulations that do little to improve safety   • Compliance with ICAO PBN RATF Meetring
