LPV 200: an EGNOS major milestone New EGNOS system release V2.4.1M will enable LPV operations based on EGNOS SoL service down to a decision height of 200 ft minima (ILS CAT I look-alike) According to ICAO, these operations are considered within Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) as Precision Approaches based on SBAS (PA - SBAS CAT-I) This new service level will be called LPV-200 and its declaration towards users is foreseen in Q4 2015 LPV-200 will bring extra operational benefits (i.e reducing delays, diversions and cancellations) and increase accessibility to European runways with respect to APV while maintaining today s high safety levels D/NAV/ER Slide 5 LPV200: new step for Aviation SoL service

EGNOS initiatives in Europe EGNOS Neighbouring Policy (ENP) East (Ukraine) South (MEDA) In Africa Cooperation with ASECNA (Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar) Pan African Initiative In Middle East Initiative in ACAC (Arab Civil Aviation Commission) EC D/NAV/ER Slide very 12 supportive for EGNOS initiatives
Global Conclusion EGNOS V2 is operational and certified APV 1, LPV200 service upcoming, EGNOS current architecture is upgradable to next releases, EGNOS is multi modal (not only used by Aviation) and a huge market is foreseen in many user domains, International Coordination with other SBAS is in place to prepare SBAS DFMC Standard. EGNOS: operational, certified, upgradable D/NAV/ER Slide 13
