FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS What is flight procedure design? The complete package that includes all the considerations that went into the development of an instrument flight procedure What is an instrument flight procedure? A description of a series of predetermined flight manoeuvres by reference to flight instruments, published by electronic and/or printed means To design the roads for aircraft in the sky 6
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS Criteria and parameters Design requirements ICAO Criteria Areas with sensitive wildlife Navaids Obstacles Bank Angle Altitude Phase of flight Speed Populated areas Type of navigation Aerodrome data Topography information Local regulations Temperature Airspace constraints Flight technical tolerances Wind 7
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS Departure Airport A Airport B A departure procedure provides obstacle clearance immediately after take-off until the aircraft intercepts an en-route segment. This route links the aerodrome or a specific runway of the aerodrome with a specified significant point, normally on a designated ATS route, at which the en-route phase of a flight commences. 8
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS En-Route Airport A Airport B The ATS Route is a specified route designed for channelling the flow of traffic as necessary for the provision of air traffic services. 9
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS Arrival Airport A Airport B An arrival route link a significant point, normally on an ATS route, with a point from which an instrument approach procedure can be commenced. 10
FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN PROCESS Approach Airport A Airport B A series of predetermined manoeuvres by reference to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles from the initial approach fix, or where applicable, from the beginning of a defined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be completed and thereafter, if a landing is not completed, to a position at which holding or en-route obstacle clearance criteria apply. 11

PBN CONCEPT
PBN CONCEPT Definition Area navigation based on performance requirements for aircraft operating along an ATS route, on an instrument approach procedure or in a designated airspace. PBN concept was introduced through the publication of Doc. 9613 PBN Manual in 2008. 15
PBN CONCEPT PBN Components PBN relies on the use of area navigation and comprises three components: a) the navigation specification; b) the NAVAID infrastructure; and c) the navigation application Navigation application Navigation Example: specification. aid application. (NAVAID) A infrastructure. The set of application aircraft NAVAID and of a navigation infrastructure aircrew Nav. Application: requirements specification refers SID SAMAR needed to and space-based to support the supporting and NAVAID ground-based Performance-based Nav. Infrastructure: infrastructure, NAVAIDs Navigation DME/DME to available routes, operations toprocedures, meet within the and/or requirements a defined defined airspace. the airspace navigation volume, specification. in accordance Nav. Specification: RNAV1 with the intended airspace concept. Navigation specification Navigation infrastructure 16
PBN CONCEPT PBN Benefits Improves safety Increases airspace capacity Improves operational efficiency Reduces environmental impact Reduces infraestructure 17
PBN CONCEPT ICAO Resolution A37-11 The Assembly urges all States to implement RNAV and RNP air traffic services routes and approach procedures in accordance with the ICAO PBN concept. Implementation of approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV), including LNAV-only minima, for all instrument runway ends, either as the primary approach or as back-up for precision approaches by 2016. 18
