Jeppesen s Airspace Design Services Flight Procedure Development & Airspace Design Feasibility Studies a complete Airspace Analysis tailored for specific customer needs or requirements. Satellite-based area navigation (RNAV) flight procedures Positive Vertical Guidance Cutting-edge application of advanced navigational concepts (RNAV - RNP, WAAS, etc.) Traditional flight procedures (ILS, VOR, NDB, etc.) Efficient & effective regulatory guidance & support Integrated Jeppesen charting & coding of new procedures
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Global Positioning System (GPS) GPS based procedures provide continuous support of Instrument Flight Rules, without a reduction in accuracy or dependability. RNAV (GPS) Instrument Approaches Wide Area Augmentation (WAAS) network of precisely located ground reference stations that monitor satellite signals LNAV/VNAV Lateral Navigation with Vertical Guidance Vertical Guidance Performance (LPV) RNP Required Navigation Performance WAAS, LNAV/VNAV and LPV provides service for all classes of aircraft in all phases of flight operations including enroute navigation, airport arrivals and departures.

Saint Petersburg-Clearwater Project Overview Airspace Analysis Limitations and challenges presented by existing approaches,departures and transitions in the terminal environment. Review/Potential modification of existing Charted Visual Flight Procedure for Runway 17L. Possible elimination of night restrictions. RNAV (GPS) Approach to Runway 17L (LNAV/VNAV, LPV) using current ground track. Possible increase in descent angle, offset ground track, etc. Runway 17L Instrument Departure Procedure Variants to ground track, headings, turns, feasibility of using RNAV. RNAV (GPS) Approach to Runway 35R (LNAV/VNAV, LPV) using current ground track. Possible increase in descent angle, offset ground track, etc. Potential Instrument Departure Procedure for Runway 35R - ground tracks, headings, turns, feasibility of using RNAV. Airport User survey Pilot Feedback
