3 Executive Summary This study investigates the varying level of benefit of RNAV approach at airports throughout Europe. It is performed by Helios on behalf of Eurocontrol, building upon previous work undertaken in the area, employing a more comprehensive benefits model and taking advantage of two new key elements: the participation of several ANSPs/airport authorities; the release of the recently developed Minima Estimation Tool (MET), allowing estimation of the potential reduction in operational minima specific at each airport. Broadly speaking, RNAV approach fills the gap between conventional Non-Precision Approach (NPA) and Precision Approach (PA). When compared to NPAs, RNAV approaches offer various benefits, including guidance to enable Continuous Descent Final Approach (thereby improving safety and reducing environmental impact), removal of the need for circling approaches and a potential reduction in pilot training requirements. The study focuses upon the benefit of reduced approach operational minima. During periods of poor weather or ILS unavailability at an airport, aircraft can suffer disruptions delays, diversions or cancellations. RNAV approaches typically offer lower approach minima than conventional NPAs enabling a potential reduction in the number of aircraft disruptions and operational cost savings for the aircraft operator. These cost savings were investigated for 16 different airport case studies throughout Europe with varying traffic levels, aircraft users, weather conditions, surrounding terrain and ILS capabilities. First, the potential reduction in operational minima enabled by RNAV approach is estimated for each airport case study using the MET tool. Then the resultant potential increase in airport operational capacity is evaluated and correlated with aircraft movements to estimate the avoided disruptions. The subsequent cost savings are calculated for two distinct scenarios with respect to the situation today where RNAV approach is not available: Scenario 1: Baro-VNAV approach is implemented and available to all aircraft which are Baro-VNAV capable. Scenario 2: Baro-VNAV and SBAS APV I Approaches are implemented and available to all aircraft. Aircraft that are not Baro-VNAV capable are assumed to upgrade to SBAS. The results of the study show a wide range in the reduction in operational minima for both APV Baro-VNAV and SBAS approaches compared to current NPAs. The minima is seen to vary significantly for individual runway ends at the same airport, as well as across the sample of case study airports. Whilst the variation was large, it was most commonly found that APV BaroVNAV enables a reduction of approximately 70ft with respect to NPA minima while SBAS APV enables an approximate 100ft reduction. However, the reduction in minima varies from 0ft to 320ft (APV Baro-VNAV) and 470ft (SBAS APV I) and the evaluation should be performed on a case-by-case basis. In terms of resultant cost savings, a similar variation in results is observed. Cost savings range from zero or negligible in some airport case studies, up to 200,000 per year for others. For airport runways with ILS installed at both runway ends, the cost savings are negligible. The combined probability of an ILS outage together with unsuitable tailwind conditions is typically quite low, and so most aircraft are able to fly an ILS approach incurring few disruptions. Irrespective of the enabled reduction in minima, there is little opportunity to realise any operational benefit as a result. P723D003* HELIOS 2 of 161

4 For airport runways with ILS installed at a single runway end, the cost savings can be significant. From the available sample set, the benefits are seen to fall into 3 benefit bands: zero or negligible benefit, medium benefit (in the region of 40,000 per year) and high benefit (in the region of 200,000 per year). This is dependant upon a number of key factors, with both varying influence and order of precedence at each airport, including: airport traffic levels, their daily and seasonal variation (and of course the aircraft approach capabilities); number of non-ils landings at the runway of interest, dependant upon the ILS capability and tailwind strength and variability; potential reduction in operational minima enabled by RNAV approach, dependant upon the local terrain environment (and especially significant for NPA runways); local weather conditions, such as cloud ceiling and runway visibility, which can greatly affect the realisable benefits. In some case studies, for example, the dominant factors appear to be overall airport traffic levels and the corresponding number of non-ils landings, whereas in others the predominance of favourable weather conditions counter balances this. Without any trends between the considered case studies, the actual operational impact of a reduction in minima must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Airports without any ILS capability will derive the greatest benefit. All arriving aircraft will execute an NPA and so be subject to a higher probability of disruption and therefore have greater potential benefit with the introduction of RNAV approaches. The study includes one NPA airport, but it had to be removed owing to the finding of an incomplete obstacle data set in the analysis. There is some difference observed between the two assessment scenarios. In general, Scenario 2 (APV BaroVNAV and SBAS APV I) demonstrates an additional 20,000 annual cost saving per airport when compared to that of Scenario 1 (solely APV BaroVNAV). The difference at each airport is dependant upon the current aircraft BaroVNAV equipage levels as well as the difference in achievable operational minima between the two capabilities. In this respect, the PANS-OPS documents have a significant impact, restricting APV minima of a PA and NPA runway to 250ft and 300ft respectively. This can limit the potential benefits in certain cases, irrespective of the estimated reduced minima by the MET tool. P723D003* HELIOS 3 of 161

10 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview This is the final report of the RNAV approach benefits assessment study performed by Helios on behalf of Eurocontrol. The study aims to evaluate the range of potential benefits from RNAV approach implementation throughout Europe, through the investigation of a series of case studies. The results of the study will support Eurocontrols further activities in respect of RNAV approach implementation and provide input to the participating ANSPs/airport authorities as to their individual decisions. 1.2 Document structure The report contains the following sections: Section 1: is this introduction; Section 2: sets the background to the study, outlining the rationale and specific objectives of the analysis; Section 3: describes the approach used in estimating the benefits; Section 4: presents a summary of the benefits analysis for each case study airport; Section 5: presents the conclusions and recommendations based upon the analysis results; Annex A: provides a reference for the different types of RNAV approach; Annex B: provides an overview of the analysis inputs, processing and overall information flow as part of the benefits analysis; Annex C: provides a guide to the proceeding Annexes which describe in detail the individual benefits analyses undertaken for each case study; Annexes D-S: contain the detailed individual case study reports for each of the airports examined.

11 2 Study overview 2.1 Background information The concept of RNAV approach has been introduced by ICAO on a global level to help improve safety and increase operational efficiency for all aviation users. Several different types of RNAV approach exist: RNP APCH, which is operated to LNAV minima, this is an RNAV approach without vertical guidance and is almost always based on the use of GPS. RNP APCH with Baro-VNAV, which is operated to LNAV/VNAV minima, (also called APV BaroVNAV), this is a vertically guided approach that can be flown by modern aircraft with VNAV functionality using barometric inputs. RNP AR (Approval Required), which is operated to LNAV/VNAV minima, make use of advanced RNP capabilities of certain modern aircraft to provide better access to runways with terrain or environmental constraints. SBAS APV, which is operated to LPV minima, is a procedure supported by SBAS to provide lateral and vertical guidance. The term LPV stands for localizer performance with vertical guidance and this type of procedure provides an ILS look-a-like approach. Broadly speaking, RNAV approach fills a gap between conventional Non-Precision Approach (NPA) and Precision Approach (PA). When compared to NPAs, RNAV approaches typically offer the following benefits: reduction in approach operational minima, which can enable replacement of conventional NPAs or a back-up to ILS; guidance to enable Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) improving safety and offering greater environmental benefits when compared to traditional step-down approaches; improved aircrew situation awareness, resulting in increased safety; a continuous RNAV path, potentially from en-route through terminal airspace and into final approach; removal of need for circling approaches, (where they occur); possible removal of VOR and ADF equipment on board aircraft in the long term if NPAs can be entirely phased out; reduction in pilot training requirements if the number of different types of approach is reduced. In 2003, Eurocontrol launched work to investigate the first of these benefits. This study builds upon this initial work taking advantage of a newly developed software tool (known as the Minima Estimator Tool or MET ) to estimate the potential minima reduction enabled by RNAV approach. The range of potential benefits has been assessed by examining a series of case study airports throughout Europe. 2.2 Rationale RNAV approach can help reduce the number of aircraft disruptions during periods of inclement weather conditions or where ILS is unavailable. A disruption is any P723D003* HELIOS 10 of 161

12 aircraft event affecting the movements capacity of an airport and can include delay,diversion or cancellation of an aircraft landing. This may occur at airports where there is no ILS capability or where the ILS is out of service. The reduction in operational minima enabled by RNAV approach can allow an aircraft to land at an airport where it would otherwise encounter a disruption. This may occur during periods where a combination of low cloud ceiling or reduced runway visibility and current published minima result in a failure to sight the runway in advance of the missed approach point. 2.3 Objective This study therefore estimates the potential benefit levels derived from reduced aircraft disruptions through the introduction of RNAV approach capability at various case study airports throughout Europe. In particular the study: estimates the potential reduction in current operational minima at each case study airports; evaluates the potential increase in airport operational capacity at that airport; estimates the corresponding cost savings from the resultant reduction in number of aircraft disruptions. The case for its introduction is then assessed based upon the following: Base case: No RNAV approach is implemented, this is the current day situation; Scenario 1: Baro-VNAV approach is implemented and available to all aircraft which are Baro-VNAV capable. Scenario 2: Baro-VNAV and SBAS Approaches are used by all aircraft. This assumes a maximum benefit by assuming that aircraft that are not Baro-VNAV capable would upgrade to SBAS. Therefore all aircraft would be either Baro- VNAV or SBAS capable. The results of this analysis are summarised in Section 4 with supporting detail provided in Annexes D-S inclusive. 2.4 Stakeholder participation A total of 6 different ANSPs/airport authorities participated in the study allowing analysis of 16 different case study airports.

14 These airports demonstrate a range of aircraft users and approach capabilities. They include high traffic airports (e.g. Schiphol), terrain restricted airports (e.g. Geneva) or those which primarily serve smaller aircraft (e.g. Bellegarde). Also included are airports with larger potential for minima reduction (e.g. Tromso). Our thanks is extended to all the ANSPs/airport authorities who participated in this study and supported the team in their work. P723D003* HELIOS 13 of 161

15 3 Benefits methodology 3.1 Overview This section describes the methodology used in estimating the benefit for each of the case studies. The high-level steps are presented below and then described in more detail in the following sub-sections. The benefits assessment employs a modular approach calculating in turn: 1) the total number of aircraft landings at the airport; 2) the number of non-ils landings from these; 3) the disruption probability per approach type; 4) the subsequent number of disrupted NPA landings; 5) the total cost of these disruptions. All analysis is performed per quarter 1) Total aircraft landings 2) Non-ILS aircraft landings Dependant upon airport ILS capability and tailwind sets upper bound to potential benefits 3) Disruption probability per approach type Dependant upon estimated (m)dh, cloud ceiling & runway visbility 4) Aircraft disruptions Dependant upon landing aircraft capability and selected RNAV capability 5) Total cost savings Figure 2 - determining the benefits P723D003* HELIOS 14 of 161

16 3.2 Total aircraft landings The benefit for each case study is evaluated on a quarterly basis. The total aircraft movements are estimated based upon 4 individual sample weeks of data provided by the CFMU. 1) Total aircraft landings = (week 4 landings * 13) + (week 20 landings * 13). (week 32 landings) + (week 45 landings * 13) Each of the sample weeks includes all aircraft movements within the ECAC area for week 4 (beginning 5 th February), week 20 (beginning 14 th April), week 32 (beginning 12 th August) and week 45 (beginning 5 th November) in This distributed sample set helps to minimise any anomalies occurring within the sample period which may mis-represent the usual landing rate at the case study airports (e.g. ATC strike, runway maintenance, landing incident, etc.) as well as accounting for any seasonal variations. The quarterly landing rates and aircraft types at an airport are assumed to be constant throughout each quarter. 3.3 Non-ILS landings The study focuses on aircraft disruptions, i.e. delays, diversions or cancellations, where an aircraft employs a non-ils approach type, e.g. NDB, VOR, LNAV, APV BaroVNAV or SBAS APV I/II. For any airport, the number of aircraft non-ils landings are dependant upon total aircraft landings, runway ILS capability (and availability) and tailwind behaviour. 2) Non-ILS landings = function (total aircraft landings, runway ILS capability,, tailwind strength statistics) Four distinct cases are identified in respect of ILS capability: 3 or more ILS installations: if an airport has 3 or more ILS installations, it is assumed to be well served and that all landings will use an ILS approach. 2 ILS installations: It is assumed that at least one ILS will be available at all times throughout the year and that outages can occur for a total of 1 week during the year (occurring over a single period or at intermittent times during the year). This equates to a fixed outage probability of 1/(52*4) per quarter. 1 ILS installation: As above, it is assumed that planned outages can occur for a total of 1 week during the year (over a single period or at intermittent times). No ILS installation: All aircraft landings will be non-ils. The runway tailwind conditions are then considered in addition to this. If the tailwind component at the relevant runway end is greater or equal to 5 knots, it is assumed that the aircraft would not use the ILS approach, even if available. P723D003* HELIOS 15 of 161

17 The number of non-ils landings can be calculated using one of the four possible permutations below and together with the appropriate percentage of total airport landings for that runway. For a single ILS runway, there are two cases in which aircraft will execute a non- ILS approach and therefore be susceptible to disruption: The ILS is available, however the tailwind at this runway end exceeds the threshold level of 5knts; The tailwind level is acceptable however the ILS is out of service. Single runway single ILS installation Case 1 Case 2 ILS1 ILS1 ILS 1 in service Tailwind rwy end 1 > threshold Consequence : approach rwy end 2 used Impact : non - ILS landings ILS 1 out of service Consequence : approach rwy end 2 used irrespective of tailwind Impact : non -ILS landings Figure 3 - single ILS runway Two cases also exist for a dual ILS runway: The ILS at runway end 1 is unavailable and the tailwind at runway end 2 exceeds the threshold level; Similarly, for the ILS runway end 2 out of service and tailwind at runway end 1 exceeding the threshold. Note, it is assumed that only one ILS can be unavailable at any given time. P723D003* HELIOS 16 of 161

18 Single runway dual ILS installation Case 1 ILS 1 Case 2 ILS 1 ILS2 ILS 1 out of service Tailwind rwy end 2 >threshold Consequence : approach rwy end 1 must be used Impact : non- ILS landings ILS2 ILS 2 out of service Tailwind rwy end 1 >threshold Consequence : approach rwy end 2 must be used Impact : non - ILS landings Figure 4 - dual ILS runway A summary of the combined probability logic for non-ils landings is presented below. # ILS Description Assumed logic % probability for non- ILS landing per quarter >=3 The airport will have more than 1 runway and is assumed to be well served 2 A single runway airport with ILS installed at both runway ends. 1 A single runway airport with one ILS installation 0 No ILS published procedures All landings will be Precision Approach (PA) 1 week (non-overlapping) maintenance outage assumed per year for each ILS. During this week the logic of a 1ILS airport must be applied however in this instance the two probability factors are multiplied Will use ILS when available and when tailwind does not exceed threshold 5 knots. 1 week maintenance outage assumed per year. This translates to a fixed probability of 1/52 per average hourly block, assuming an evenly spread (Gaussian) probability 0% Summed for both runway ends, the probability of - Tailwind exceeding threshold OR - ILS outage, i.e. 1/(52*4) for each average hourly block For the ILS runway end, the probability of - Tailwind exceeding threshold OR All landings will be non-ils. 100% Table 2 - Percentage NPA landing conditions - ILS outage, where threshold not exceeded for each average hourly block The probability of the tailwind exceeding the threshold is derived from meteorological statistics provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric P723D003* HELIOS 17 of 161

19 Administration (NOAA). These annual statistics include hourly, if not half hourly, observations of local meteorological conditions and are often the source for airport METARS. They are also used in the next stage of the benefits analysis in examination of runway visibility and cloud ceiling levels. 3.4 Disruption probability per approach type The probability of an aircraft actually encountering a disruption during a non-ils approach is dependant upon the operational minima combined with meteorological conditions at the time of approach. The benefits model assumes, given a particular (Minimum) Decision Altitude/Height or (M)DA/DH, two dominant weather types will result in a disruption; poor runway visibility or low cloud ceiling. (M)DA/DH Required visibility Recorded visibility Recorded cloud ceiling Threshold (50ft) Runway Required cloud ceiling Figure 5 - NPA landing conditions If the decision height of an approach meant that the (M)DA/DH was greater than the required cloud ceiling or the recorded visibility exceeded the required level, then a disruption will ensue. The specific formulation of this follows. Applying a 30 glide slope, an aircraft descends at a rate of 300 feet/nm in the final approach. Hence, for a given DH: A) For the cloud ceiling, landings are not possible when: B) For visibility: Recorded cloud ceiling (feet) < DH Tan θ = descent rate = 300ft/NM (1 NM = km) Where θ is the descent angle. Tan θ = (DH - 50) / Required visibility For a given (M)DA/DH (Descent to threshold, hence DH - 50) P723D003* HELIOS 18 of 161

20 Since the descent angles are the same: 300/1.852 = (DH - 50) / Required visibility Required visibility (km) = (1.852*(DH - 50)) / 300 Hence, for visibility, landings are not possible when: Recorded visibility < Required visibility Recorded visibility (km) < (1.852*(DH 50)) / 300 Therefore, landings are not possible if: 3) Recorded cloud ceiling < DH or recorded visibility < (1.852*(DH 50)) / 300 This formula is evaluated for all hours over each quarter providing a specific probability factor to be applied at all times. This is then applied to the estimated non-ils landings per quarter. Current operational minima have been provided by the ANSPs/airport authorities and the newly developed MET tool is used to estimate the potential (Minimum) Decision Heights or (M)DH for LNAV, APV BaroVNAV and SBAS APV I/II 1. These are adapted to ensure compliance with current PANS-OPS requirements, i.e. The minimum (M)DH for LNAV, APV BaroVNAV and SBAS APV I/II is 250ft for a Precision Approach (PA) runway; The minimum (M)DH for LNAV, APV BaroVNAV and SBAS APV I/II is 300ft for a Non Precision Approach (NPA) runway. 3.5 Number of disrupted landings The total number of disrupted landings is equal to the product of the number of non-ils landings per hour multiplied by the probability of disruption for the particular approach type, summed over each quarter. 4) Number of disruptions = (number of non-ils landings per hour) *.. (disruption probability per approach type) 1 The MET tool also provides estimates for ILS CAT I approach types and these have also been included in the case study results. P723D003* HELIOS 19 of 161

21 Obviously different aircraft will employ different approach types, dependant upon their equipage level and corresponding capability. The specific approach capability for each airports landing profile is therefore evaluated on a case-bycase basis according to the benefits scenario in question. Generally speaking, aircraft can be categorised in terms of increasing equipage as follows: P aircraft Piston aircraft (eg Cessna 335, Piper PA-31). T1 aircraft Light single engine pressurised turboprop aircraft (eg Beech F90, Piper PA ). T2 aircraft Light multi-engine pressurised turboprop aircraft (eg Cessna 425 Corsair, BAe-3100 Jetstream 31). T3 aircraft Large turboprop aircraft (eg ATR-72, Fokker F-50). J1 aircraft Light business jet aircraft (eg Cessna 500 Citation, Learjet 35). J2 aircraft Midsize business jet aircraft (eg Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, Dassault Falcon 2000). J3 aircraft Air transport jet and large business jet aircraft (eg Airbus A-320, Boeing 737s). From previous work, Boeing has indicated that approximately 90% of the active fleet are BaroVNAV capable. More specifically, B717s, B s, B s, B s, B s, B s, B s, B s, B s, B757s, B767s, B777s, B787s and MD-11s are BaroVNAV capable. In addition, Honeywell has indicated that all Honeywell FMCs are BaroVNAV capable. All Airbus aircraft use Honeywell FMCs and so are BaroVNAV capable. Universal Avionics have also indicated that all their FMSs support VNAV approaches for all NPA types. Consequently, all J2 and J3 type aircraft are assumed capable of BaroVNAV. All T1, T2 and P type aircraft are assumed not to be BaroVNAV capable. Finally, the J1 and T3 aircraft were researched individually and approximately 50% of T3 and 30% of J1 aircraft are estimated to be BaroVNAV capable. In terms of SBAS capability, it is assumed that all aircraft which are not BaroVNAV capable will equip with SBAS. The resultant navigation capability is summarised below. Aircraft equipage category BaroVNAV capable SBAS APV I/II capable P 0% 100% T1 0% 100% T2 0% 100% T3 50% 50% J1 30% 70% J2 100% 0% J3 100% 0% Figure 6 - aircraft navigation capability P723D003* HELIOS 20 of 161

22 Since the (M)DHs provided by the MET tool are specific to the aircraft approach category for SBAS APV I/II and ILS CAT I approach types the analysis uses a library of all operating aircraft for the case studies, cross referencing aircraft approach capability to percentage BaroVNAV and/or SBAS capable. 3.6 Total cost savings The case for RNAV introduction is investigated based upon the following: Base case: No RNAV approach is implemented, this is the current day situation; Scenario 1: Baro-VNAV approach is implemented and available to all aircraft which are Baro-VNAV capable; Scenario 2: Baro-VNAV and SBAS Approaches are used by all aircraft. This assumes a maximum benefit by assuming that aircraft that are not Baro-VNAV capable would upgrade to SBAS. Therefore all aircraft would be either Baro- VNAV or SBAS capable. Total cost savings are defined with respect to the base case and are calculated in applying a standard operator cost per disruption. This is set at 4,660 2 based upon an average of 50 minutes of time lost per diversion and 43 passengers per flight. The recommended cost figures for each are 66 per minute of delay and 38 per hour for the passenger value of time. 2 Standard Inputs for Eurocontrol Cost Benefit Analysis P723D003* HELIOS 21 of 161

23 4 Case study results 4.1 Overview This section presents the individual benefits analysis results for each case study airport. A standard results template is used and describes the potential benefits for each of the defined scenarios. For each case study, the default operational runway is selected based upon a combination of current operational minima and average wind conditions. This may change throughout the analysis period owing to tailwind conditions, environmental restrictions, etc. Complete details of all the analyses are provided in the Annexes and these should be referenced to obtain further explanation. 4.2 Analysis results template The analysis results for each case study are presented in the following format: Airport overview: indicating airport name, runway configuration, ILS capability and particular interest in RNAV approach implementation. Airport traffic: providing statistics on the level of annual landings at the airport and the respective user breakdown. The number of non-ils landings (as a result of ILS outage or high tailwind conditions) is also indicated for each aircraft category. The benefit is evaluated based upon the potential reduction in disruptions occurring for these landings. Operational minima: presenting for the runway(s) of interest both the published operational minima and potential minima as estimated by the MET tool (and in compliance with PANS-OPS requirements). Current day situation: providing the estimated number and cost of aircraft disruptions incurred with current operational minima for the runway of interest. Potential benefits: providing the estimated benefit of reduced aircraft disruptions with respect to the current day situation. This is assessed for BaroVNAV (Scenario 1) and BaroVNAV/SBAS APVI (Scenario 2) implementation. P723D003* HELIOS 22 of 161

The introduction of SBAS APVI enables a potential reduction of 0 to 470ft. The chart below shows the range of reductions enabled by APV BaroVNAV approach procedures. A wide variation can be seen across all case studies, and in some cases at individual case study airports. In general a reduction of approximately 70ft is seen with respect to published NPA minima. This is in line with expectations.

It states that for a PA runway the minima for an APV approach will be 250ft whereas for a Non-Precision Approach (NPA) runway it will be 300ft. This can in some cases significantly reduce any potential benefits and decrease the minimum and maximum ranges illustrated above. Indeed, a certain level of caution must be exercised in interpreting the results of the MET tool. It is by definition an estimation tool and so cannot replace a complete procedure design process. It provides an estimation of the potential Obstacle Clearance Heights (OCHs) for each of the approach types and so strict interpretation of these values requires the knowledge and the experience of a procedure designer. The MET tool assumes a straight-in approach modelling only the final approach and initial missed approach segment. This results in some limitations: A bias in the estimates of operational minima when compared to ILS minima in cases where the controlling obstacle for the minima of the procedure is located in the final missed approach segment. Overly pessimistic estimation of operational minima in the case where there is high terrain on the limits of the Final Approach Point (FAP) and intermediate segment. Unusually high OCH values for LNAV and APV BaroVNAV approaches where the highest controlling obstacle is far in the Missed Approach (MA) segment yet remaining on the edge of the Obstacle Assessment Surface (OAS). This is inherent of the OAS model and would not appear in the case of other procedure design methodologies, for example in the use of a Collision Risk Model (CRM) investigation. P723D003* HELIOS 42 of 161

44 Nevertheless experience of the MET tool confirmed that the operational minima of a new approach type is extremely site specific. It depends upon the obstacle height and lhas shown that the potential minima reduction has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The estimated operational minima are extremely site specific, dependant on both obstacle height and location with respect to the assessment surfaces. 5.3 Estimated cost savings The study considered two scenarios for each airport case study compared to the current day situation (no RNAV approach implemented): Scenario 1: Baro-VNAV approach is implemented and available to all aircraft which are Baro-VNAV capable; Scenario 2: Baro-VNAV and SBAS Approaches are used by all aircraft. This assumes that aircraft that are not Baro-VNAV capable would upgrade to SBAS. The estimated benefit is then calculated as the difference in annual cost savings for each of the Scenarios 1 and 2 with respect to the Base case. A summary of the resultant potential cost savings for each case study is presented below. The airports are arranged such that the first 5 airports from the left (i.e. LSGG-EHEH) all have ILS installed at both runway ends. The following 11 airports (i.e. LFLC- EFIV) all have ILS installed at a single runway end.

This includes: case studies such as Bellegarde airport (LFBL) or Guipavas (LFRB) in France which demonstrate cost savings in the region of 200,00 per year; case studies such Tampere-Pirkkala (EFTP), Rovaniemi (EFRO), or Oulu (EFOU)in Finland, which demonstrate cost savings in the region of 50,000; case studies such as Geneva (LSGG), in Switzerland, or Simferopol (UKFF), in the Ukraine, which demonstrate negligible cost savings. P723D003* HELIOS 43 of 161

45 There are a number of general conclusions which can be made in regards the introduction of RNAV approach capability: There is negligible benefit in the case of a runway with ILS installed at both runway ends. The combined probability of an ILS outage together with high tailwinds is typically quite low, resulting in few aircraft disruptions. Irrespective of the enabled reduction in minima, there is little opportunity to realise any operational benefit as a result. This is observed in all such case studies. There can be significant benefit in the case of a runway with ILS installed at a single end. The magnitude of this benefit is dependant upon a number of factors such as tailwind conditions, airport traffic levels, minima reduction, etc. Where this occurs it is seen to achieve either a high level of cost savings at approximately 200,000 per year, or a lower level at approximately 50,000 per year. The benefit is greatest in the case of an NPA-only runway. Aircraft are inherently more susceptible to disruption having to operate to higher minima and therefore any reduction in these will have a significant impact 5. Greater benefit can be realised through the combined introduction of RNAV capability using both APV BaroVNAV and SBAS, Scenario 2, rather than solely through the current APV BaroVNAV capability, Scenario 1. The extent of this additional benefit is of course dependant upon current BaroVNAV equipage levels amongst airspace users as well as the difference of minima reduction between the two approach types (and its actual operational impact). It is seen to achieve an additional 20,000 per year in a number of cases. In order to draw more specific conclusions therefore, it is necessary to identify the various factors which are in play and which dominant the resultant cost savings. The following table presents an account of all the case studies considered and highlights the various influencing factors in each. 5 Whilst there is no NPA airport in the final case study list, preliminary analysis of one example supported this conclusion. This case study however had to be withdrawn owing to the finding of incomplete obstacle data for its surrounding environment and therefore overly optimistic minima reduction.

High percentage of non-ils landings (15%) due in part to variability in tailwind conditions.

50 From this, several key factors can be identified: the airport traffic levels, their daily and seasonal variation (and of course the constituent aircraft approach capabilities); the number of non-ils landings at the runway of interest, dependant upon the ILS capability and tailwind strength and variability; the potential reduction in operational minima enabled by RNAV approach, dependant upon the local terrain environment (and especially significant for NPA runways); the local meteorological conditions, more specifically cloud ceiling and runway visibility, which can greatly amplify or attenuate the realisable benefits. Each of these factors has a varying influence on the final cost savings. For example, for airports such as Bellegarde (LFBL) or Guipavas (LFRB) it would appear that the overall traffic levels and subsequent percentage of non-ils landings plays the dominant role. These airports have approximately 4,300 and 6,700 landings per year respectively, and a high percentage of these are non-ils at 15 and 20% respectively. Both exhibit annual cost savings in the region of 200,000. Oulu (EFOU) has very similar characteristics with approximately 4,700 landings per year and 21% of these are non-ils. In this instance however the dominant factor is the local meteorological conditions. These tend to attenuate any potential benefit realised from a reduction in the operational minima and result in much lower annual cost savings of approximately 40,000. Therefore amongst the case studies, not only does the absolute impact of these influencing factors change, but so too does their order of precedence. This eliminates the possibility of identifying any congruencies amongst the factors. As is the case with estimating the potential reduction in minima, the operational impact of this reduction must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 5.4 LPV200 candidates The MET analysis undertaken was also used to determine potential candidates for LPV200 approach procedures. These are identified where the OCHs for SBAS APVI, APVII and ILS CAT I are lower or equal to 200ft. The following possible candidate airports are identified (in some cases LPV200 will be possible only for certain aircraft approach categories). P723D003* HELIOS 49 of 161

52 A Types of RNAV approach A.1 Overview This annex defines the different types of RNAV approach. A.2 RNP APCH Operated to LNAV minima, this is an RNAV approach without vertical guidance. It is often called an RNAV NPA and is almost always based on the use of GPS. A.3 RNP APCH with Baro-VNAV A.4 RNP AR Operated to LNAV/VNAV minima, RNP APCH with Baro-VNAV is also called APV BaroVNAV. This is a procedure is a vertically guided approach that can be flown by modern aircraft with VNAV functionality using barometric inputs. Most Boeing and Airbus aircraft already have this capability meaning that a large part of the fleet is already equipped. Operated to LNAV/VNAV minima, RNP AR (Approval Required) approaches make use of advanced RNP capabilities of certain modern aircraft to provide better access to runways with terrain or environmental constraints. They use specific obstacle clearance criteria and require a particular RNP approval for the aircraft. RNP AR is designed for the latest, most sophisticated aircraft, capable of Performance Based Navigation and requires a particular kind of safety assessment (FOSA) for operational approval. A.5 SBAS APV Operated to LPV minima, this is a procedure supported by SBAS systems such as WAAS in the US and EGNOS in Europe to provide lateral and vertical guidance. The term LPV stands for localizer performance with vertical guidance. The lateral performance is equivalent to an ILS localizer and the vertical guidance is provided against a geometric path in space rather than a barometric altitude. LPV is of particular interest to a category of users with aircraft that do not have sophisticated FMS based avionics that can perform APV BaroVNAV. P723D003* HELIOS 51 of 161

The worst performing aircraft category for each airport is also identified. It is assumed that all RNAV approach types will be developed and introduced for this category. C.2 Annex structure The detailed analysis annex for each case study contains the following sections: airport overview; P723D003 HELIOS 54 of 162

56 approach minima; runway usage; airport accessibility gain; aircraft landings; estimated cost savings. C.2.1 Airport overview The first section provides a general description of the airport, its runway configuration, ILS capability and particular reason for interest in RNAV approach capability. The aerodrome chart and obstacle chart 6 are also included were available. C.2.2 Runway approach minima The current and estimated operational minima are then presented in separate tables for both runway ends of the particular runway in consideration. The current published minima have been provided by the respective ANSP/airport authority and are used to evaluate the Base case (where no RNAV approach capability is implemented). The estimated operational minima are resultant from the MET tool analysis and provide Obstacle Clearance Height (OCH) values for LNAV, APV BaroVNAV, SBAS APV I/II and ILS CAT I approach types. They are based upon the provided airport and obstacle data. Only the first three of these are used in evaluation of the annual cost savings, i.e. Scenario 1 (BaroVNAV approach used where aircraft is capable) and Scenario 2 (BaroVNAV approach is used where aircraft is capable, otherwise a of the business case). SBAS APV II service is not available but included for comparative purposes with respect to SBAS APV I. It can help illustrate the sensitivity of the final cost savings to a small change in the reduction in operational minima. Following both tables, a summary of the potential reduction for each runway end is provided in relation to APV BaroVNAV and SBAS APVI minima estimates. This identifies the range of reduction with respect to current NPA minima and the different aircraft approach categories. Additional insight on the operational minima with respect to the airport local obstacle environment is also provided where possible. Preliminary potential candidates for LPV 200 are also indicated. These have been identified in cases where the minima for SBAS APV I, SBAS APV II and ILS CAT I 6 The Aerodrome Obstacle Chart (AOC) cannot be used as a sole means of understanding the operational minima at each runway end. It is primarily intended for operators to help define their takeoff parameters and does not take into account all obstacles (e.g. not extending beyond the sides of the runway). P723D003* HELIOS 55 of 161

57 are equal to or less than 200ft. For a more accurate assessment, the MET tool would have to be upgraded to include LPV 200 design criteria. C.2.3 Runway usage The local wind conditions are examined as an indicator of a default operational runway end. The average hourly tailwind strength during each quarter is presented for each runway end. Where the tailwind strength is close to or exceeds the threshold 5knts value an aircraft will look to use the other runway end. Of course, this will also be determined by the lower of operational minima available at each runway end. For the purpose of this analysis, the default operational runway end is fixed per average quarterly hour. Therefore a change can occur on an hourly basis per quarter or indeed per entire quarter. For the case studies considered, there was little ambiguity in the selection of this. In the majority of cases, the default operational runway end changed only on a seasonal basis in response to the dominant wind conditions (exceptions include Kittila airport, Finland or Kiev airport, Ukraine). C.2.4 Runway accessibility gain Airport accessibility is defined as the number of hours per quarter during which an aircraft can successfully perform an approach for a given operational minima. The total number hours of disruption (delay, diversion or cancellation) for each approach type has been determined taking into account the specific minima, hourly cloud ceiling and visibility. The varying level of these across all approach types illustrates the potential gain in runway accessibility. This is shown for both current and potential (MET tool estimated) operational minima for the various approach types and aircraft categories. This demonstrates the potential gain in capacity for varying reduction in the operational minima specific to the operating environment specific to each runway end. In the analysis, where there is a change in the operational runway end, the corresponding change in disruption probability and therefore runway accessibility will be incorporated. All the case studies considered investigate the cost savings for a single runway airport or for a particular runway only (with the appropriate share of total airport movements). Therefore within this context, the terms airport and runway accessibility gain are synonymous. There is a subtle distinction between accessibility gain and capacity gain. Accessibility gain is a potential benefit where more aircraft could perform a successful approach owing to the available operational minima and weather conditions at the particular time of approach. Capacity gain is the correlation of this with actual aircraft movements and therefore the achieved benefit in practise more aircraft performing a successful approach in taking advantage of the reduced minima. C.2.5 Runway landing movements The total quarterly aircraft movements per hour are illustrated for the particular runway of interest. The variation of this combined with the airport ILS capability (and availability), runway usage and accessibility gain calculations will determine the number of aircraft disruptions for each approach type. P723D003* HELIOS 56 of 161

58 C.2.6 Estimated cost savings The number of aircraft disruptions and corresponding costs are calculated per quarter and the resultant annual values shown here for each of the defined scenarios: Base case: No RNAV approach is implemented, i.e. no change in current day situation. Scenario 1: BaroVNAV approach is implemented and available to all aircraft which are BaroVNAV capable. Scenario 2: BaroVNAV and SBAS approaches are used by all aircraft. Aircraft which are not BaroVNAV equipped would upgrade to SBAS APV I. The operational minima for the worst performing aircraft at each airport are assumed for all approach types. For example, where the SBAS APV I minima are 209, 219, 229 and 238 for aircraft categories A, B, C and D respectively for an airport with a 0%, 10%, 70% and 20% split in movements for the same categories, a minima of 238ft is used. The final estimated cost savings are derived from a reduction in the number of disruptions with respect to the Base case experienced during a typical year at current traffic levels. It is based upon the correlation between airport accessibility gain and actual aircraft movement statistics. An additional Scenario 3 case is also shown to help demonstrate the sensitivity in final cost savings to a delta in the operational minima reduction. This is the same as Scenario 2, albeit aircraft which are not BaroVNAV capable will equip to SBAS APV II rather than SBAS APV I capability. P723D003* HELIOS 57 of 161

59 D LSGG benefits analysis D.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Geneva (LSGG) in Switzerland. This has one concrete runway with ILS at both runway ends and an additional grass runway which is VFR aircraft only. This analysis investigates sole use of the ILS equipped runway. RNAV approach is envisaged as a backup to ILS. The ILS at runway LSGG05 was under replacement in 2008 requiring the recalculation of approach minima using the ICAO CRM software tool. This opportunity was taken to use the same terrain and obstacle database for use with the MET tool. Figure 11 - LSGG airport chart P723D003* HELIOS 58 of 161

60 The surrounding obstacle environment of LSGG is quite demanding due to the close proximity of high terrain like the Jura mountain chain.

The local wind strength at LSGG is low and so tailwind conditions have little operational impact on the availability of ILS procedures. Therefore any potential P723D003* HELIOS 61 of 161

63 benefit from a reduction in minima is largely only realisable during periods where the ILS itself is out of service. For an airport with ILS installed at both runway ends the occurrence probability of this is extremely low. P723D003* HELIOS 62 of 161

64 E ENTC benefits analysis E.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Tromso (ENTC) in Norway. This is a single runway airport with ILS installed at both runway ends. RNAV approach capability is seen as a means of back in the event of an ILS outage. This case study however highlights one of the limitations of the MET tool in that it does not take into account obstacles in the intermediate approach area in estimating the approach OCH values. In the case of ENTC the most significant obstacle is located just prior to the Final Approach Fix (FAP). Without using the freedom of design of the intermediate approach segment the OCH values are calculated in a pessimistic manner. Figure 15 - ENTC aerodrome chart P723D003* HELIOS 63 of 161

This means the required altitude at the Final Approach Fix (FAF) or Final Approach Point (FAP) is not always appropriately identified, affecting the estimated OCH values. In the case of ENTC the most significant obstacle is located just prior to the FAP. The MET tool therefore penalises the final OCH values in not taking into account additional freedom of design in respect of the intermediate approach, for example, employing a steeper descent path. As a result only APV BaroVNAV for ENTC19 is seen to offer any reduction (80ft) over existing NPA minima. The analysis which follows only investigates this approach.

70 F UKFF benefits analysis F.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Simferopol (UKFF) in Ukraine. This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 190 degrees (UKFF19). The introduction of RNAV approach is being considered in an effort to extend the existing RNAV capability for the preceding phases of flight. This case study demonstrates a seasonal and hourly change in the default operational runway end during the analysis period. Figure 22 - UKFF airport chart P723D003* HELIOS 69 of 161

Whilst the reduction in operational minima is significant for both BaroVNAV and SBAS APV I/II, the dual ILS capability results in few non-ils landings. In spite of varying tailwind conditions, the cloud ceiling and runway visibility are generally favourable during times of non-ils landings and so tend to attenuate any potential benefit. An extension of the already existing RNAV approach phase for this airport may not be warranted on the basis of reduced aircraft disruptions alone. P723D003* HELIOS 75 of 161

91 I LFLC benefits analysis I.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Clermont Ferrand (LFLC) in France. This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 260 degrees. The introduction of RNAV approach capability is seen as a backup to ILS. This case study highlights the limitation of the MET tool in respect of its sensitivity to the location of the controlling obstacle, in this case found within the missed approach segment.

This is reasonable for LNAV and APV BaroVNAV however there is an area of the W, X (left) and X (right) that has to be analysed prior to the Final Approach Point (FAP) for SBAS APV I/II and ILS approaches. In the particular case of the obstacle environment of LFLC, this results in overoptimistic results for SBAS APV I/II and ILS CAT I. All APVs will have a 250ft minimum decision height (PA capable).

This is rooted in the fact that there are no significant obstacles penetrating the Obstacle Assessment Surface (OAS) in this case. Therefore the MET tool estimates the MDH as the HL component for the highest category of an aircraft. It does not take into account minimum minima as specified by Doc All APVs for this runway end would have a 300ft minimum decision height as it has no PA capability. PA lighting would therefore be required to achieve the 250ft minimum. Therefore: APV BaroVNAV offers some reduction (50-60ft) over existing NPA minima; SBAS APV I/II offers some reduction (80-90ft) over existing NPA minima; LPV200 may be possible for aircraft category A from these values.

APV BaroVNAV offers approximately half this potential capacity gain. The potential gain in respect of RNAV approach capability at LFBZ09 with respect to current approach capability at LFBZ27 however is quite low.

Taking into account ILS capability and tailwind statistics, there is an estimated 995 (15%) non-ils landings per year.

121 There is significant annual benefit seen with the introduction of RNAV approach capability. APV BaroVNAV provides annual cost savings in the order of 260,000 whilst SBAS APV I provides annual cost savings in the order of 290,000. Whilst generally there are low tailwind conditions, there is much variability seen in the tailwind strength during certain peak periods. This allows for a high number of non-ils landings. The benefit for these landings, of reduction in operational minima enabled by RNAV approach, is amplified by the unfavourable meteorological conditions during the same periods. This leads to a significant reduction in aircraft disruptions, in particular for quarters 1 to 3. P723D003* HELIOS 120 of 161

122 N EFKT benefits analysis N.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Kittila (EFKT) in Finland. This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 340 degrees (EFKT34). The introduction of RNAV approach capability is considered as a potential backup to ILS or alternatively allowing a change in the default operational runway end.

The MET tool does not allow the incorporation of step-down fixes which would be employed given the opportunity of a complete procedure design process. Similarly, a lower APV BaroVNAV minima could be derived in using a higher glide slope value. A standard set of approach parameters however was applied to all case studies to remove any particular results bias owing to the assessment methodology of the MET tool. All APVs for this runway end would have a 300ft minimum decision height as it has no is PA capability. PA lighting would therefore be required to achieve a 250ft minimum decision height. In summary APV BaroVNAV offers significant reduction (230ft) over current minima; SBAS APV I/II offers no reduction over current minima; LPV200 is not considered possible from these values.

Two cases are seen: Case 1 - Backup to ILS: This selects EFKT34 as the default operational runway end. In this case, RNAV approach serves as a backup to the current ILS capability. The NPA operational minima at EFKT34 are quite high and so in times of ILS outage an RNAV approach could prove quite valuable in respect of reduced aircraft disruptions. In the future, it may replace the current NDB procedure. Case 2 - Change in default operational runway: This selects EFKT16 as the default operational runway end. At present the only approach procedure available is an offset localizer procedure. The introduction of RNAV approach capability would, in addition to the usual benefits of improved safety and operational performance, also enable an increased utilisation of the runway. The location of the only runway exit point is such that use of EFKT16 as the default operational runway end would help avoid backtracking along the runway thus increasing the overall airport capacity. In addition, the tailwind conditions would seem to support such a case. 5.7 Airport accessibility gain This is examined for both of the above cases. Case 1 The airport accessibility gain per quarter for EFKT34 as the default operational runway end is shown below. P723D003* HELIOS 125 of 161

APV BaroVNAV demonstrates a lower potential gain (300 additional hours). N.4 Aircraft landings The hourly profile of total aircraft landings per quarter for the selected runway is shown below. EFKT landings Number of landings :00-01:00 02:00-03:00 04:00-05:00 06:00-07:00 08:00-09:00 10:00-11:00 12:00-13:00 14:00-15:00 Hour block 16:00-17:00 18:00-19:00 20:00-21:00 22:00-23:00 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Figure 73 - EFKT Quarterly landings This is a low traffic airport. Aircraft movements are highest in Q1 with landing levels at least halved in other quarters. (Note, the same landing profile is used for both cases). Taking into account ILS capability and tailwind statistics, there is an estimated 180 (29%) non-ils landings per year for Case 1 and 59 (10%) non-ils landings per year for Case 2. This owing to the difference in tailwind conditions at each runway end. N.5 Estimated cost savings The estimated annual aircraft disruptions and corresponding cost for both cases are presented below. Case 1 The estimated annual disruptions are shown below where EFKT34 is retained as the default operational runway end.

Negligible difference is seen between implementation of APV BaroVNAV and SBAS capability. Case 2 The estimated annual disruptions are shown below where EFKT34 is used is maintained as the baseline case and EFKT16 is used as the default operational runway end for the other scenarios.

This is largely owing to reduced tailwind conditions for in using this runway end, amplifying the reduction in operational minima with respect to the current NPA. Therefore further investigation into a change in the default operational runway end for this airport is warranted. P723D003* HELIOS 128 of 161

This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 240 degrees (EFTP24).

132 There are significant obstacles located close to the runway end which cannot be avoided by APV BaroVNAV, irrespective of the procedure design methodology used. All APVs for this runway end will have a 300ft minimum decision height as it has no PA capability. PA lighting would therefore be required to achieve the 250ft minimum. Therefore: APV BaroVNAV offers negligible reduction (10-50ft) over existing NPA minima; SBAS APV I/II offers significant reduction (90-140ft) over existing NPA minima.

134 terms of environment requirements, is also to be considered: EFTP06 is the preferred runway end for night time arrivals owing to noise emission requirements. Therefore EFTP24 is assumed to be the default operational runway end for daytime operations and EFTP06 for night-time operations. The benefits analysis is performed in reflection of this.

145 Q EFOU benefits analysis Q.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Oulu (EFOU) in Finland. This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 120 degrees (EFOU12). This airport already has LNAV procedures in place. The introduction of BaroVNAV procedures is considered of interest as allowing better minim and safety levels in the case where ILS cannot be used.

In summary: APV BaroVNAV offers some reduction (60-70ft) over existing NPA minima; SBAS APV I/II offers significant reduction ( ft) over existing NPA minima; LPV200 may be possible for aircraft category A from these values.

148 SBAS APV I/II offers small reduction (60-100ft) over current minima. LPV200 is not considered possible from these values. Q.3 Runway usage The hourly variation of average tailwind strength per quarter for each runway end is shown below :00-01:00 01:00-02:00 02:00-03:00 03:00-04:00 04:00-05:00 05:00-06:00 06:00-07:00 07:00-08:00 08:00-09:00 09:00-10:00 10:00-11:00 11:00-12:00 12:00-13:00 13:00-14:00 14:00-15:00 15:00-16:00 16:00-17:00 17:00-18:00 18:00-19:00 19:00-20:00 20:00-21:00 21:00-22:00 22:00-23:00 23:00-00:00 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q Figure 90 EFOU12 average tailwind strength :00-01:00 01:00-02:00 02:00-03:00 03:00-04:00 04:00-05:00 05:00-06:00 06:00-07:00 07:00-08:00 08:00-09:00 09:00-10:00 10:00-11:00 11:00-12:00 12:00-13:00 13:00-14:00 14:00-15:00 15:00-16:00 16:00-17:00 17:00-18:00 18:00-19:00 19:00-20:00 20:00-21:00 21:00-22:00 22:00-23:00 23:00-00:00 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q Figure 91 EFOU30 average tailwind strength P723D003* HELIOS 147 of 161

149 The preference based on this will be EFOU30 for Q2 and Q3 and EFOU12 for Q4 and Q1. However EFOU12 is ILS equipped offering significantly lower minima whilst providing NPAs with minima of similar value to those of EFOU30. The tailwind strength does remain quite low throughout all quarters, irrespective of the observed variation. It is therefore assumed that EFOU12 is the default operational runway end and is selected for the benefits analysis for all quarters Q.4 Airport accessibility gain The airport accessibility gain per quarter for EFOU30 is shown below Disruption hours Q4 Q3 Q2 Q NDB VOR LOC LNAV ILSCATI ILSCATII LNAV BaroVNAV SBASAPVI_A SBASAPVII_A SBASAPVI_B SBASAPVII_B SBASAPVI_C SBASAPVII_C SBASAPVI_D SBASAPVII_D Approach type Figure 92 - EFOU30 disruption hours SBAS APV I/II demonstrates significant potential gain in airport capacity of approximately 200 hours over current NPA minima.

152 R EFIV benefits analysis R.1 Overview This annex provides detailed analysis for Ivalo (EFIV) in Finland. This is a single runway airport with one ILS installation at runway end 220 degrees (EFIV22). This airport already has LNAV procedures in place. The introduction of BaroVNAV procedures is considered of interest as allowing better minim and safety levels in the case where ILS cannot be used.

154 The difference in LNAV minima here is largely due to the change in PANS-OPS design criteria which took place during the course of this study. The MET tool provides minima estimates based upon the old design criteria. All APVs for this runway end will have a 300ft minimum decision height as it has no PA capability. PA lighting would be required to achieve the 250ft minimum. In summary: APV BaroVNAV offers a significant reduction (230ft) over current minima; SBAS APVI offers significant reduction ( ft) over current minima; SBAS APVII offers significant reduction ( ft) over current minima; LPV200 is not considered possible from these values.
