7 ENAV role in MEDUSA ENAV will be responsible of performing the flight trials on Monastir airport using a Piaggio P-180 Avanti II equipped with a Rockwell Collins GPS-4000S receiver and a LPV capable Flight Management System (FMS). ENAV is giving also technical support to MEDUSA Members on RNP APCH implementation: Sharing experience and lessons learnt on RNP APCH implementation Studying international framework (ICAO) Identifying convergence areas for Single European Sky regulations Understanding States local scenarios and constraints Defining requirements for GNSS monitoring and recording and possible solutions 7

9 Italian LPV implementation plan The plan is in line with the ICAO Assembly Resolution A37/11 Short term LPV procedures for major airports Radar monitoring mitigation Medium term LPV for airports with site critical issues Long term Cost/benefit analysis to assess where is possible to dismiss conventional navaids Future steps 1. Consider impacts of new PBN IR 2. Perform feasibility studies of LPV implementation on small airports without radar monitoring service 3. Review National safety case in order to update some mitigations 4. Consider EGNOS evolutions 5. Update National PBN plan 9

10 Approach phase Consultation with operators in progress by means of periodical ENAV Customer Care meeting. RNP APCH procedures initially implemented with LNAV and LPV minima (7 procedures). Airports already involved: Fiumicino, Ciampino, Milano Linate, Venezia; Further 8 runway ends expected before next summer Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa, Firenze, Bologna, Bergamo. Implementation, expected during next year, on two runway ends at the moment served only by circling approach (Genova and Verona). LPV helicopter approach procedures developed and validated for Milano Linate and Bergamo airports in the framework of ACCEPTA Project. GNSS monitoring: Activities in progress in order to deploy a national GNSS strategy and to overcome some of the Safety Requirements needed for the implementation of RNP APCH procedures. 10

11 Training Plan Training modules for Procedure designers in the framework of continuous training activities Training modules on PBN familiarization and P-RNAV procedures, including operational aspects, for ATCOs operating in radar CTR Training module on GNSS approach procedure for ATCOs planned accordingly to implementation schedule Operational training modules on PBN and related procedure management for ATCOs instructors operating at ENAV Academy Training modules on PBN familiarization for all people involved in operational activities. 11

14 The 5Ws for GNSS monitoring WHY? Annex 10 recommends that a State monitor and record relevant GNSS data to support accident/incident investigations and confirm performances. WHAT? GNSS core systems parameters SBAS WHEN? Periodically Not real time WHERE? Representative locations in the service area WHO? States Delegated State or Entity 14

15 Monitoring and recording process Input IGS sites EDAS EDCN Dedicated stations Recording Retention policies Recording for accidents/incidents investigation support GNSS performance confirmation Elaboration Pegasus Dedicated tools Reporting Periodicity Information 15

16 1. Input Analysis of sites and infrastructures available on the market: IGS network EDCN EDAS Definition of a policy for the identification of represantive sites Ionospheric errors DoP Other parameters 16

17 2. Recording Parameters to be recorded: Observed satellite C/N0 Observed raw pseudo-range code and carrier phase Navigation messages Receiver status For SBAS also: Observed GEO C/N0 Observed GEO raw pseudo-range code and carrier phase SBAS data messages Definition of appropriate retention policies Security rules (authentication, data integrity, etc) 17

18 3. Elaboration GNSS performance (total system concept SIS + airborne capability + aircraft capability to fly the trajectory) in relation to the type of approach (Annex 10) Accuracy Integrity Continuity Availability Computation by dedicated tools (e.g. Pegasus developed by Eurocontrol) Need to have adequate documentation Compliance of algorithms against MOPS specifications Discussions going on the need to monitor also GPS SPS performance 18

Reporting Sample of 24hrs data elaboration Trimestral reporting Share of reports For EGNOS: Public monthly reports made by ESSP Site ROMA (Roma EGNOS RIMS Channel A) Date 06/07/2013 Location Lat (deg): 41,804 Lon (deg): 12,584 Alt (m): 172,904 GPS Standalone Receiver THALES AVIONICS Software Pegasus Solution: with RAIM (no SBAS) Data set Duration Start Stop Expected Total Valid Valid (%) 1 Hz 24h 00:00 23: ,58% Results Operation: NPA (HAL: 556 m ; VAL: N/A) Accuracy (m) Measured Scaled Required HNSE(95%) 3,35 211,22 220,00 VNSE(95%) 3,88 - N/A Availability (%) samples Minimum required 99 % to 99,999% Availability 100% Continuity Events 0 Minimum required 1-1x10^-4 /h to 1-1x10^-8 /h Continuity 1/h (100%) Integrity Events (HPE > HAL) 0 Minimum required 1-1x10^-7 /h Integrity 1/h (100%) MI (PL > PE) Total 0 Horizontal 0 Vertical - Protection level statistics (RAIM Un-weighted PL) HPL (m) VPL (m) 99% 95% 50% mean std deviation 73,63 19,67 10,35 12,18 9, Position error statistics HPE (m) VPE (m) 99% 95% 50% mean std deviation 4,22 3,35 1,30 1,58 1,04 5,10 3,88 1,56 1,70 1,21 19

20 Conclusions Need to develop an harmonized approach for GNSS performance assessment under ICAO framework (core constellation vs. GNSS) New constellations (Galileo, Beidou, etc), SBAS evolutions (EGNOS V3) and new services (double frequency) constitutes an attractive challenge for aviation community GNSS data recording and monitoring can be also used to support: RFI mitigation activities Real time ATC (developing dedicated interfaces) But: Differences between performance at ground level and on board aircraft 20
