Overview Summary of Responses document
Comments summarised into ‘Key’ issues in the draft RAD.
‘Editorial’ type comments will be reflected in the updated RAD.
All preferences and comments recorded verbatim in the annexes to the SOR.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 19
Issue A – Global Harmonisation and Consistency (1)
Comments
Interoperability requirements should be developed in a global perspective.
Global interoperability of each option is not sufficiently addressed.
Traceability and compliance with global standards should be established.
ICAO standards terminology shall be kept.
Emphasise should be put on global coordination on PBN implementation.
Need for coordination with ICAO and FAA.
Responses
Global harmonisation and consistency is required.
Global standards are being defined in RTCA SC-227 / EUROCAE WG-85.
Regulatory drafting will rely on the existing global industry standards as far as practicable.
The aim of a draft PBN IR ensure that relevant industry standards are used.
Coordination with ICAO, FAA and EUROCAE will be ensured.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 20
Issue A – Global Harmonisation and Consistency (2)
Comments
Consistency between the SES implementing rules and the EASA implementing rules need to be established.
Synchronisation between airborne equipage mandate and related certification material publication shall be effective.
The RAD should present the plans for the EASA publications to enable PBN operations.
Responses
Need for consistency between the SES interoperability regulation and the EASA regulatory framework is fully recognised.
Close coordination and cooperation with EASA is maintained during the development of the implementing rule, necessary PBN implementation guidance material & means of compliance.
Timely availability of appropriate certification and operational standards should be ensured.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 21
Issue A – Global Harmonisation and Consistency (3)
Actions
Close coordination with EASA, ICAO, FAA and EUROCAE will continue to be maintained during the development of the draft IR.
The draft RAD will be revised to further emphasise the importance of global harmonisation, coordination and consistency and to provide details on how these will be achieved.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 22
Issue B – Navigation Performance Requirements and Stakeholder Actions (1)
Comments
Performance requirements and functionalities not clearly specified.
Need for more details and precision in the description of the foreseen stakeholder actions.
Targeting should be applied when defining the requirements.
Concept of operations not fully defined (e.g. RTA, FRT & TPO).
Clear guidance, specific required functionality, and approval processes should be available for identified equipment standards.
Need for clarification on the identified navigation performance requirements and functionalities, and their use in the various phases of flight.
Need for clarification on availability of regulatory material for aircraft certification and operational approval.
Recommendation to adapt requirements proportionally to the appropriate capabilities of aircraft for which limitations exist (i.e. GA aircraft).
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 23
Issue B – Navigation Performance Requirements and Stakeholder Actions (2)
Comments
Need for synchronisation of actions of all stakeholders involved.
Not enough obligations foreseen for the ANSPs and need for clearly defined obligations in the IR.
Option 3 not a real option; poorly specified.
Responses
ICAO PBN Manual - including the Advanced RNP specification - provides detailed descriptions of the identified navigation performance requirements and functionalities.
All stakeholders requirements will be clearly defined in the IR.
Concepts of operation for some functions need further redevelopment. Availability of regulatory material for aircraft certification and operational approval needs to be ensured.
Further analysis and assessment required for a number of technical issues.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 24
Issue B – Navigation Performance Requirements and Stakeholder Actions (3)
Responses
All potential stakeholder actions identified in the RAD will be further developed and complemented as necessary before being translated into obligations in the draft IR.
Option 3 is aimed at enabling the introduction of the SESAR target concept - Steps 1 through 3.
RTA functionality is required to be considered by EC Mandate and ICB recommendation.
Foreseen navigation specification is Advanced RNP.
Foreseen industry standard is EUROCAE ED-75B/RTCA DO-236B (work is currently ongoing on revision/update).
Unlikely that ANSPs will be able to put in place all necessary facilities to take advantage of some of the Option 3 functionalities by 2025.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 25
Issue B – Navigation Performance Requirements and Stakeholder Actions (4)
Actions
Necessary clarifications will be provided and the description of the foreseen requirements will be revised.
The Advanced RNP specification will be made available to stakeholders as reference.
The limitations for some categories of aircraft are recognised and the requirements will be adapted proportionally to the appropriate capabilities of those aircraft.
Synchronisation of stakeholder actions is one of the main goals of the IR and will be pursued during the development of the draft IR.
Further analysis will be undertaken during the drafting of the IR and the extended regulatory impact assessment in order to address a number of technical issues.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 26
Issue C – Implementation Conditions 1. Implementation Timescales for Airborne Equipage and Deployment of ATS Routes and Procedures
Comments
Preference for delayed implementation timescales by 4 to 5 years, e.g. to the beginning of 2025.
Commercial airspace users deployment of PBN ATS routes, procedures & associated tools and systems to take place 2 years before retrofit.
Deployment of RNP approaches should be done by 2016, in conformity with ICAO resolution A37-11.
Responses
Sufficient time needs to be allowed to stakeholders to achieve compliance
Amended Option 2.
A 2016 target date for deployment of RNP approaches is not achievable for all instrument runway ends in Europe.
Action
Implementation timescales will be subject to further analysis and consideration during the drafting of the IR and the extended regulatory impact assessment.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 27
Issue C – Implementation Conditions 2. Airspace of Applicability
Comment
Explain the meaning of the statement that "The draft IR may apply to more limited areas of airspace in the case of a phased deployment" and to indicate which areas of airspace were envisaged in this context.
Response
Statement reflects the principle of targeting of the requirements.
Although the IR will be effective in all states where EU law is applicable, some requirements can be limited in their applicability further analysis, EIA.
Action
Implementation timescales, applicability criteria for aircraft equipage and airspace of applicability will be subject to further analysis and consideration during the drafting of the IR and the extended regulatory impact assessment.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 28
Issue C – Implementation Conditions 3. Applicability Criteria for Aircraft EquipageComment
Based on the applicability criteria for airborne equipage various levels of equipage could be achieved (e.g. 70%, 80%, 90%).ANSPs 90%.Airspace users Best Equipped Best Served (BEBS) concept to be implemented IATA and AEA Alternative proposal (different criteria for aircraft equipage).
EUROCONTROL to specifically define the applicability to helicopters in the draft IR and invite comments from the aviation community.
Response
Further work is required to detail the way the BEBS concept can be implemented in the EATMN.
Targeting of requirements on the basis of detailed fleet analysis is seen as a means to facilitate the introduction of changes and to achieve the required benefits.
It is intended that the IR will not be applicable to helicopters.Action
The applicability criteria for aircraft equipage will be subject to further analysis and consideration during the drafting of the IR and the extended regulatory impact assessment.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 29
Issue C – Implementation Conditions 4. Airborne Exemption Policy Principles
Comment
Mandate exemption processes to be clearly defined.
GA stakeholders for some models produced after 2000 (including models still in production), the requirement for the retrofit of certain capabilities, such as "Advanced RNP (1 NM TSE)", may be impractical.
Regulatory options should include the requirement for a marginal level of exemptions to the full implementation of the whole set of functionalities required.
Response
Exemptions need to be as limited as possible.
Exemptions only to be granted where they have a minor effect on the volume of flights by equipped aircraft and where the effect can be expected to reduce over time.
Action
The airborne exemption policy will be further addressed during the drafting of the IR and the necessary clarity will be provided.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 30
Issue D – Means of Compliance (1)Comments
The existence of relevant EASA and FAA compliance material should be the driver for determining the implementation dates.
Carriage of new avionics must only become mandatory after EASA has implemented a streamlined process for
a) Approval / documentation / certification of all new onboard navigation equipment required for PBN (e.g. FAA approvals to be valid in EASA member states)
b) Training requirements for pilots
c) Administrative / Organisational / maintenance cost burden for the aircraft operator.
Advanced RNP navigation specification, should be the one reflected in the EASA CS- ACNS and AMC material.
PBN IR should not specify new requirements, but facilitate application of existing modern aircraft capability by formalising a functional and performance framework.
SES rules should establish which PBN type of operation would be deployed in which airspace volumes and by when.
EASA rules should establish the "how”.
Synchronisation between airborne equipage mandate and related certification material publication should be ensured.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 31
Issue D – Means of Compliance (2)
Response
EASA’s intent is to ensure that the certification and approval material will be available within a timely manner before the effective date of the IR, in accordance with their Rulemaking Programme.
EASA’s intent is to transpose all of the navigation specification published in the PBN Manual into appropriate certification and operational approval standards to enable global PBN application.
Due account should be taken to minimise the impact on OEM and operators with respect to existing approvals in the draft IR requirements and the EASA airworthiness and operational standards.
Consistency between the SES interoperability regulation and the EASA regulatory framework is fully recognised and timely availability of the appropriate certification and operational standards should be achieved.
Action
The draft RAD will be revised according to the above the comments.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 32
Issue E – Economic Impact Assessment (1)
Comments
ANSP the assumption that aircraft older than 20 years in 2020 would be exempted led to a projection of 20% non-equipage which would cause the service provider significant problems for airspace design and mixed operations.
Airspace users aircraft exemption age of 17-15 years to be able to use investments for 8 -10 years. BEBS concept was suggested to enable airspace users to decide on the need and time of retrofit, based on their own business case.
GA stakeholders PEIA ignored the potential disbenefit of access to airspace being heavily reduced as a result of a PBN IR. Economic value of the operations under a variety of business models currently in operation should be taken into account for the impact assessment.
All costs should be taken into account in the assessment.
Need for a more detailed assessment of the costs and benefits, including confirmation of the assumptions applied.
Need for a presentation of a detailed breakdown of the estimated impact on the fleet per stakeholder group.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 33
Issue E – Economic Impact Assessment (2)
Comments
A financial incentive scheme could be useful for all stakeholder groups.
A review should be made of GA fleet and cost data, as well as GA equipage levels, capabilities and associated assumptions, and that additional detail be provided as part of the draft IR consultation.
It is doubtful that PBN IR could make a positive contribution to the achievement of all of the SES high-level objectives and network performance targets. Lack of hard data prevents from convincing airspace users to invest in airborne avionics at this moment in time. CBA should provide compelling argument to prove otherwise.
Cost saving expected from the optimisation of the NAVAID infrastructure has not been factored into the CBA. However, the importance of these benefits should not be underestimated, therefore text should be added to indicate that implementers should not dismiss NAVAID rationalisation as being of no consequence.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 34
Issue E – Economic Impact Assessment (3)
Response
A balance is to be obtained between the requirements of the ANSPs and those of the aircraft operators.
Procedures could be developed and implemented for a transition period during which a gradual increase of the proportion of equipped flights from a level of about 75-80% to a level of 90% could take place.
PBN IR should not result in some parts of the GA fleet being priced out of the market. Nor to block access to airspace to any category of airspace users. If evidence is available to show that this would be the effect, remedial measures could be proposed.
An estimate of all costs should be included in the assessment.
If benefits can be allocated to user groups on the basis of the proportion of flight hours, then commercial airlines would experience a large positive Net Present value (NPV), regional airlines would experience a small positive NPV, whilst GA would suffer a small net loss. The NPV values can be included in a revised annex.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 35
Issue E – Economic Impact Assessment (4)
Response
Financial incentives are presented as a possibility. At this stage, no decision has been made to implement incentives to support the IR.
Because the IR will represent a legal requirement, financial incentives are not offered as an incentive to comply with the IR but to go beyond its scope.
Financial incentives are seen as being appropriate to commercial organisations but not to state owned bodies.
The need to review the GA fleet and cost data, equipage levels, capabilities and associated assumptions, is recognised. Additional details will be provided as part of the draft IR consultation.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 36
Issue E – Economic Impact Assessment (5)
Response
Performance-based navigation is one of the key enablers to improve the performance of the EATMN, along with other enablers. PBN has the potential to enable benefits most notably in the areas of flight efficiency, capacity and safety.
The draft RAD provides an indication of the improvements that can be enabled by the IR.
Evidence should be provided to back up assertions.
It is normal for the assessment of a new technology to be supported by tests and simulations and the PBN assessment has made best use of what information is available.
NAVAID infrastructure rationalisation should be encouraged in whatever way possible.
Action
Detailed assessment of the costs and benefits, including as far as possible confirmation of the assumptions applied will be undertaken during the extended economic impact assessment.
Additional cost and benefit information will be sought in order to further detail the assessment.
The corresponding sections of the draft RAD will be reviewed and revised.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 37
Issue F – Safety Impact Assessment (1)
Comments
The detailed technical requirements should be expressed as acceptable means of compliance.
Safety requirements resulting from the end-to-end safety assessment should be covered by the EASA rules at CS level and only high level security requirements should be put at the level of the draft IR.
More detailed requirements should be identified at the level of the CS (Certification Specification or Community specification).
Safety assessment should be validated by EASA and the issues and/or assumptions identified during the safety assessment for each of the proposed options should be related with the necessary EASA regulatory material.
Assessment should be made to determine whether a generic ANS-wide GNSS safety assessment is needed to be performed at a European level. Such an activity would have to be led by EUROCONTROL.
Text should be amended to improve precision and readability.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 38
Issue F – Safety Impact Assessment (2)
Response
Safety requirements will be properly allocated within the available applicable regulatory frameworks. Full consistency and harmonisation will be ensured.
Validation by EASA is part of the process. Full consistency with EASA regulatory material will be ensured.
The potential need for a generic ANS-wide GNSS safety assessment to be performed at European level will be subject to assessment during the drafting of the IR and the extended impact assessment.
Action
The corresponding sections of the draft RAD will be reviewed and revised. The extended safety impact assessment will further address the specific relevant points raised in the comments.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 39
Issue G – Civil-Military Coordination (1)
Comments
Clarification was sought on the applicability of SES legislation to military stakeholders as well as on the categories of aircraft that would potentially be affected by the IR.
Need for transition arrangements related to both aircraft equipage to take account of the procurement and technical constraints incurred by military organisations when confronted with new ATM.
Need for accommodation of non-equipped flights by State aircraft by ATSPs.
Exemptions should only be granted for fighter aircraft, not for transport type state aircraft.
No indication of military costs was given (not even a baseline cost).
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 40
Issue G – Civil-Military Coordination (2)
Response
Civil-military aspects are proposed to be covered in the draft IR because civil-military coordination is an essential requirement of SES, recognised in the Interoperability Regulation and in line with the declaration of member States on military matters included in the framework regulation.
For new production transport type state aircraft, forward fit actions are expected to be implemented by the military, in consequence of PBN regulatory provisions.
Forward fit must comprise not only new aircraft but also aircraft scheduled for major mid life upgrades. For other aircraft, compliance could be achieved on the basis of performance equivalence.
ATSPs will be requested to accommodate non equipped traffic as needed to enable unrestricted airspace access.
Exemptions are envisaged to be granted to transport type state aircraft only when out of service date is very close to the implementation date.
Applicability dates for transport type state aircraft could be later than those for civil aircraft.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 41
Issue G – Civil-Military Coordination (3)
Response
It is proposed to exempt military aircraft from retrofit requirements. For the purposes of the impact assessment, it is assumed that in the baseline case (no PBN IR) aircraft operators, including the military, would still equip new aircraft with suitable PBN avionics. Therefore the implementation of the IR would impose no incremental costs on the military. Military equipage will thus be on a voluntary basis and not as a consequence of the IR.
Action
The corresponding sections of the draft RAD will be reviewed and revised accordingly. The extended impact assessment will further address the specific relevant points raised in the comments.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 42
Issue H – Impact on General Aviation Stakeholders (1)
Comments
There is likely to be a lack of suitable equipment to meet the RNP1 requirements and all foreseen functionalities.
There would be, huge and unfeasible cost barriers.
There are large number of IFR aircraft with many different avionics fitments.
Text should be added to clarify that availability of solutions may be an issue for GA/AW due to certain segments of the market not yet being served with appropriate equipment.
The maturity and availability of the airborne functionalities were overstated.
Specific applicability of requirements to the GA fleet, in line with the characteristics and capabilities of this population of aircraft is recommended.
In the PEIA, cost of development, installation and certification of the proposed Option 2 functionalities were underestimated.
Annex E analysis was unclear as to the types of aircraft considered as "business/turboprop" and those considered as “general aviation”.
EUROCONTROL should revise the PEIA to clarify the aircraft classifications and update the costs associated with complying with the proposed Option 2 functionalities.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 43
Issue H – Impact on General Aviation Stakeholders (2)
Response
Availability of solutions for GA/AW is an issue.
The applicability criteria for aircraft equipage will be further detailed to determine to which classes of aircraft the IR will apply.
The types of aircraft included within the categories can be made available EUROCONTROL welcomes the opportunity to work with avionics manufacturers to improve the cost estimates.
It is intended that proportionality be applied when setting requirements on GA operators consistent with the capabilities compliant with E/TSO-C146 requirements.
Action
The draft RAD will be amended accordingly to reflect the points that were raised.
Consideration will be given to the possibility to excluding GA aircraft from requirements outside of the approach phase of flight. A detailed description of requirements and breakdown of impact on GA will be provided taking into account the recommendations given.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 44
Issue I – Reversionary Mode of Operations
Comments
It should be within the scope of the PBN IR to regulate the reversionary navigation means in case of GNSS outages - both scheduled and unscheduled.
In the case of loss of the GNSS Signal in Space, ATC contingency procedures shall be established in a harmonised manner by the ANSPs.
Implementation of same procedures across the EATMN is of utmost importance.
Consider the use of RNAV 1 as the reversionary mode to RNP 1.Response
Further analysis of the possible contingency procedures needs to be undertaken, with a view to harmonise as much as possible the requirements for reversionary mode of operations in case of GNSS outage.
Guidance material would be needed in order to ensure that the contingency procedures are consistently applied across the EATMN to enable seamless operation to the maximum extent possible.
Action
Assessment of the possible application of the RNAV 1 specification as reversionary mode of operation to A-RNP/RNP1 will be made during the development of the draft IR and the extended regulatory impact assessment. Other possibilities will also be examined.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 45
Issue J – Applicability of the SES Legislation to Providers outside EU Comments
The draft RAD does not address the issue of the applicability of SES regulations provisions to the GPSSPS. This point was considered to be of utmost importance for NSAs as, according to the ICAO GNSS Manual, States shall approve GNSS.
Clarification is deemed necessary with regard to the extent that the SES regulations apply to GPS and the required steps a State should follow in order to approve operations based on GNSS.
Response
The point of the applicability of SES to GPS/GNSS is under consideration at present. The matter was discussed with the SSC in 2010 and is likely to be discussed further in early 2013.
EUROCONTROL is discussing with the EC and EASA how to introduce a waiver in the applicability of the SES to GNSS core-constellations. A paper addressing this subject could be presented to SSC in 2013.
Action
The matter should be clarified before PBN enters into force, i.e. before 2015.
PBN RAD Consultation Workshop – 05 Feb 2013 46
Issue K – Availability of Harmonised High Quality Aeronautical Data
Comments
The non-availability of high quality aeronautical data in support of PBN was not mentioned in the draft RAD.
High quality digital data is critical to the implementation of PBN and that this crucial dependency must be pointed out.
Appropriate information assurance and in particular information security policies would need to be applied to ensure safe information exchanges.
As onboard navigation databases would rely heavily on digital aeronautical information, this dependency should be expressed in the draft RAD.
Response
Availability of harmonised high quality aeronautical data and information and its secure exchange is of paramount importance for the implementation of PBN.
Action
The draft RAD will be amended accordingly.
This subject will be considered and analysed during the extended impact assessments and will be captured at least in the justification material attached to the draft IR.
