Issue

• Many Issues (and many solutions)• This Forum’s central theme

MIXED MODEOne of the thorniest problems to solveOne of the thorniest problems to solve


What is mixed mode?

• In PBN, mixed mode refers to an ATM environment where procedures designed and operations permitted accommodate more than one kind of navigation qualification

• Examples include: – RNAV 1 SIDs/STARs + Conventional SIDs/STARs – RNAV 5 + Conventional ATS Routes– RNP AR APCH procedures + ILS– RNP APCH Baro procedures + GLS


The Implementation Challenge

Mandates of Airborne

equipment are the favoured

option for efficient ATM …

But can be costly for

Airspace users

(if the mandate Is too

demanding.)

Phased Implementation

is a more popular solution

with airspace users but

creates mixed mode.

Currently very difficult for

ATC to manage effectively

Mixed Mode

Everyone must be the sameDifferences allowed


Why have mixed mode?

• € - $– Even if fleet can be retrofitted, it may cost too

much

• Physical limitations of older aircraft• Physical/Cost limitations of other aircraft

– E.g. military– E.g. bizjets– E.g. GA


Why’s it a challenge?

• Specific routes to accommodate different performance

• Which route spacing?• How does ATC know which clearance to issue?

– The ATC FPL is key….

• How can it be managed from a procedure design perspective?

• What about the data base coding and retrieval?

MIXED MODE


Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – First thoughts

• Vantaa had two runways (X)• Parallel Runway to be added to 06/24• TMA re-design needed


Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – Principles


Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – Airspace Concept

12

• RNAV 1 needed (pre-PBN P-RNAV in Europe)• Early adopter => lack of guidance material /

specs• Knowing which aircraft are RNAV 1 approved

– Only approx. 50% of operations in the beginning => mixed mode operations only option

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Helsinki, Finland – 2002 - Challenge

13

• RNAV 1* STAR’s designed in 2000 using vectored tracks of A/C as a basis=> Same track miles to all (RNAV 1/non-RNAV 1)

• Implemented despite low RNAV 1 approval rates• At first, ATCOs had to know which A/C were

approved: Easy to learn due limited A/C variety• A/C informed EFHK APP on initial contact if

following RNAV 1 STAR or if on heading• Currently RNAV 1 approval indicated by system,

based on FPL data


Actions


Helsinki, Finland – 2000 – Airspace Concept

15

• RNAV 1 SID’s introduced in 2003– Less than 50% of operations capable of flying them– A/C departed on headings => problems with noise =>

reverted back to conventional SID’s

• Currently RNAV 1 SID’s in use– Reduced noise impact– A/C shall inform ATC if unable to follow RNAV 1 SID =>

will be given an initial heading as part of clearance


Actions

16

• Benefits– Shorter tracks inside TMA– CDO– Noise impact reduced – AMAN– Reduced workload in HK– Increased efficiency in airspace use

• Glider areas• Danger areas


Results

17

• Operating in mixed mode operations in EFHK not difficult and does not increase ATC load– Since STAR’s are based on actual tracks used when

vectoring, mixed mode operations not a problem• Benefits outweigh risks/challenges• Introduction of RNAV 1 SID’s/STAR’s has helped in

reducing noise impact• RNAV 1 SID’s should not be implemented before

sufficient A/C approval rate is achieved


Lessons Learned

Procedure Design

MIXED MODE

19

• In mixed traffic environment, different aircraft may have different equipment and PBN approvals.

• Some GNSS equipped aircraft are capable of RNP AR. Some only are capable of RNP APCH.

• Non-GNSS equipped aircraft are still in operation.– ILS is still required for their operations and often ILS

approaches have lower operating minima than RNAV(GNSS)

• Having different aircraft flying different flight paths increase ATC workload and may result in increased safety risks.


Challenges

20

How can we design terminal area procedures to support aircrafts with different equipmentsand PBN

approvals, while harmonizing traffic pattern and controlling ATC workload?


Challenges

21

• Airport with VOR and ILS• Conventional ATS routes connecting to the VOR• Current operation � RADAR vector to intercept ILS• All aircrafts have VOR and ILS• 80% of aircrafts are approved for RNAV 1 or RNP 1• 60% are approved for RNP APCH• 10% are approved for RNP AR


Typical Scenario


Typical Scenario

23

• Proper design of RNAV 1 or RNP 1 SID/STAR– Consider proper altitude for crossing points between

ARR/DEP

• Common IAFs of VOR/ILS/RNAV (GNSS) approaches– As much as practicable

• Common IFs of VOR/ILS/RNAV (GNSS) approaches– As much as practicable


Design Considerations


Segregating ARR/DEP


Linking to VOR approach


Linking to ILS approach


Linking to RNAV(GNSS) approach


How about RNP AR?


Overall Mixed Operations


Suggestions for ICAO PANS-OPS

• Design criteria and practical examples for joining RNAV-1/RNP-1 with ILS or VOR approaches?

• Linear containment (not spray-shape) for RNAV(GNSS) procedures?

• Reduced Area-semi width for GNSS-based procedure?

• RNP 0.3 for Intermediate and Missed Approach Segment for RNAV(GNSS) procedures?

Database Coding and Publication

An inter-disciplinary overview of PBN design, coding and charting

MIXED MODE

Issue: Chart, Database, and Avionics Harmonization

17

Generally, basic procedure design has been created for the‘analog world’;

The art of ‘procedure coding’ is one that balances the intent of design and the FMS requirements

No common standard implemented to have same information charts vs. database

Virtually all the aeronautical databases are loaded according to ARINC 424 standard which specs cover a large percentage of aeronautical requirements, but not all combinations

Challenge: Role of database & evolution of PD criteria

Results: Charts & Procedure coding

34

Approach Coding & Design

Route Type concept – includes a ‘primary route type’ and up to two ‘route type qualifiers’ Q1& Q2;

Description: a) Approach Transition (Route Type ‘A’);b) Final Approach Transition (Route Type ‘R’ = APV, ‘H’ = RNP PBN

or ‘J’ = GLS)c) Missed Approach Transition (Route Type ‘Z’);

35

Approach Coding Structure

Fixes associated with approach coding

ARINC 424 PANS-OPS

Approach Transition IAF – FACF* Initial Segment IAF - IF

Final Transition FACF* – MAP Intermediate and Final Segments

IF – FAF - MAPt

Missed Approach Transition MAP – MAHP or end of MA

Initial/Intermediate/Final MA Segments

MAPt – end of MA phase

* FACF (ARINC) = IF (PANS-OPS)

Final Approach Transition:

As a minimum, the coding of final segment must include a fix for the FAF and MAP. A third fix called FACF has to be always included when ‘design’ IF is published.

MIXED MODE

Coding

✈ Vertical Angle for NPA is always included in all straight-in NPA coding solution;

✈ An FMS usually ‘builds’ a profile backwards from a point 50ft above the threshold to the initial (FAF and/or SDF);

MDA and DA are NOT part of the approach coding solution!

✈ Altitude at MAP fix is NOT any of procedure MDA, but it’s a computed mandatory value;


39


Coding of speed restrictions

Speed/Altitude restrictions applied at the waypoint: general situation like ‘Below FL100/IAS 250KT’ has no procedure coding solution;

For approaches, speed limit in FMS will be applied forwardthroughout the procedure until superseded by another speed limit.

40


Coding of altitude constraints

Altitude constraints have to be clearly associated to a fix;

No appropriate coding solution for minimum segment altitude or MEA’s.

‘Expect altitude’, “Recommended’, “Tactical” procedure altitude cannot be translated appropriately in FMS box language;

41


Charted Information not provided in NavData database

42

43Database Coding & Publication

Lessons Learned/Summary

Collaboration of all team players is highly recommended!

✈ ARINC 424 is the encoding standard for navigational database consumed by FMS;

✈ For the data houses, ARINC 424 provides the measure of standardization they can apply;

✈ However: “All things are not equal” in the world of FMS & how they execute a procedure

defined with Path & Terminator legs; Most of limitations are coming from the FMS execution logic and not procedure

design constraints; ARINC 424 is not a “charting standard “ file structure (it maybe addressed by the NDB

industry group; Challenges DB/Publication , specifically for “Mixed –Mode” operations (cannot

properly be reflected in the FMS);
