Link aviation to socio‐economic benifits• ICAO’s Strategic Objectives are strongly 

linked to 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

• ICAO is fully committed to work in close cooperation with States and other UN Bodies to support related targets

Summary• Still some way to go:

– Not all States have a PBN Implementation plan– Not all runways have PBN approaches– A37‐11 EXPIRED at the end of 2016

New impulse required through GANP and GASP

RECENT AND UPCOMING DEVELOPMENTS - PBN

Global Overview

16 April 2018

19

Flight OperationsPBN Ops approval – (Annex 6)

– Ops Approval for PBN– Only AR requires Specific Approval– All PBN requires regulator approval

• Approve the Operations Manual with PBN included

20

RNP AR APCH Approvals– Simplification of the process– Maintain high standard of oversight– Develop guidance on how to conduct approval

• Coordinated with PBN SG

Flight Operations

21

Flight Operations

PBN procedures for pilots and dispatchers• PANS OPS Vol I (Applicable 2018)

– New structure – All new PBN content– PBN requirements in PANS for 1st time

22

RNP Chart Identification• Circ. 353 published

– Advanced Copy• Transition plan

– Change from RNAV to RNP• Regional Plan

– Coordinate with States– Determine timeframe– Develop sequence

• Global Plan– Coordinated with PBN Programme Office

23

Sample Charts for PBN (AIS Manual):– A‐RNP Examples– PBN SID and Star– RNP AR APCH

24

PBN applications 

VPT RNAV (RNAV Visual)Two streams of work:– Development of Standardized approach

– Best practice for developing ‘specials’

25

PBN Applications

PBN to xLS– Hybrid procedures maximize flexibility– PBN path to a precision approach– Efficient and predictable path– Better access to airports

26

PBN ApplicationsTransitions

– Currently developed by many States

– No consistency– Need standardized criteria

27

PBN applications

Parallel Approach Operations– Extended to include PBN– RNP AR APCH– RNP APCH with vertical guidance

28

PBN applications

Established on RNP– RNP AR APCH only– Aircraft ‘established’ after IAF– Separation can be reduced accordingly

29

New PBN requirements

• PBN Manual 5th Planned for 2019– New AR Departures specification– Guidance for use of RF Legs– Additional Guidance

• Advisory VNAV explanation• A‐RNP implementation• All RNAV must be PBN

– Includes free route airspace

RECENT AND UPCOMING DEVELOPMENTS – FLIGHT INSPECTION

Global Overview

16 April 2018

34

Flight Inspection – doc 8071 update• Truly flight inspection

– Flight validation in doc 9906

• Emphasis on operational impact of testing Nav Aids• Types of inspection extended ‐ Consistency• Modern systems• Organizational aspects (QA, SMS)• Flight inspection interval

16 April 2018

35

Flight Inspection – doc 8071 update• ILS – extended def of ILS, DME and alternative height checks

• DME – build‐in test, together with PBN as support

• PBN – satisfies reference from PBN Manual

• VOR – material bends, roughness, scallopping errors, alternative errors

• PAR – modern type PARs

• NDB – minor additions on coverage

• En‐route VHF marker – improvement of measurement of coverage distance
