What is an Airspace Concept? • General Vision or Master Plan for particular airspace • Geared towards Strategic Objectives • Covers all elements of CNS/ATM Ø PBN is only the “N” in CNS/ATM Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 15/12/2021 5

Airspace Concept: Strategic Objective Considerations Safety? Capacity? Efficiency? Environment? Access? AIRSPACE CONCEPT COM NAV SUR ATM Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 15/12/2021 6

Airspace Concept: Navigation Specifications By Domain (1) • Oceanic & Remote Continental ØRNAV 10 (50/50) – e. g. Pacific ØRNP 4 (30/30) – e. g. Tasman Sea • Continental En Route ØRNAV 5 – e. g. EUR Continental ØRNAV 2 – e. g. US Continental Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 15/12/2021 7

Airspace Concept: Navigation Specifications By Domain (2) • Terminal: Arrival and Departure ØRNAV 1 – EUR and US terminal airspace ØBasic RNP 1 – Future low density airspace • Approach ØRNP APCH – US and EUR ØRNP AR APCH – US & various other Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 15/12/2021 8

Implementation Processes ICAO PBN Manual – Doc 9613 (Revised) Process 1 – Determining Requirements Process 2 – Identifying ICAO Navigation Specification(s) for Implementation Process 3 – Planning and Implementation All 3 Processes need the combined efforts of regulators, service providers, users to be effective Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 15/12/2021 9

Implementation Process 1 Determining Requirements • Formulate Airspace Concept • Assess Fleet Capability & NAVAID Infrastructure • Assess Comm, Surveillance, ATM System • Identify necessary navigation functions Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 10 15/12/2021

Implementation Process 2 Identifying ICAO Navigation Specification(s) for Implementation • Review ICAO Navigation Specifications Ø Can fleet capability, CNS/ATM infrastructure support? Ø If necessary, can trade-offs to requirements be made? • Select ICAO Navigation Specification(s) Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 11 15/12/2021

Implementation Process 3 Planning and Implementation Route / procedure placement, design, validation, pilot and controller training, automation implementation activities in 10 steps 1 -Formulate Safety Plan 4 -Design Review (Ground) 7 -ATC System Integration 2 - Validate Airspace Concept 5 -Implementation Decision 8 -Training/Awareness 3 - Design Procedures/Routes 6 -Flight Inspection/Validation 9 -Implementation Date 10 -Post Implementation Review Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, Montreal, 29 March 2007 12 15/12/2021
