Project: PBN Implementation Optimize route structure in En-route airspace Implement RNAV route to improve ATS route network and airspace efficiency. Optimize route structure in TMA airspace Implement SIDs, STARs along with CDO/CCO in the terminal areas. Implementation of PBN Approach Procedures Implement PBN instrument approach procedures, based on the Assembly Resolution A37-11. PBN Airspace Concept NAM/CAR Regions 3
PBN Airspace Concept Implementation STAGE Stage I (2010 2011) Stage II (2011 2012) Stage III (2012 2014) ATM OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT Review of ATS route network in the CAR Region Gathering data on aircraft PBN capacity Review of CNS infrastructure Realignment and implementation of new RNAV routes in the upper airspace based on RNAV 5 Implementation of RNAV routes in the lower airspace based on RNAV 1, RNAV 2 and RNP 1, as required Implementation of PBN approach procedures in accordance with Assembly Resolution A37-11 Review and interface of the ATS routes network in the CAR/SAM Regions Realignment and implementation of new RNAV routes in the interface of the upper airspace between the CAR and SAM Regions, based on RNAV 5 or RNAV 2, as applicable Implementation of CDO in international airports, as required Elimination of conventional ATS routes in the upper and lower airspace, as required Implementation of random routes, by airspace altitude stratum Review of the upper airspace configuration Review of the lower airspace configuration Implementation of flexible use of airspace (FUA) Implementation of dynamic ATS route management PBN Airspace Concept NAM/CAR Regions 4

Lessons Learned PBN Airspace Concept Regional collaboration for comprehensive implementation in the lower and higher airspace Airspace redesign due to traffic grow and enhanced aircraft capabilities Apply Airspace Organization and Management (AOM) principles to ensure benefits for all stakeholders Geometric Descents ToD in multiple sectors? Idle Descents Departure flow conflicts? Possible sector point-outs? Reinforce PBN Training PBN Airspace Concept NAM/CAR Regions 12
Lessons Learned Reinforce PBN Operational Approval Active areas of special use of airspace, limit efficiency and economic benefits, Improve civil military coordination is required GNSS legal and coverage information for long term planning are required PBN Airspace Concept NAM/CAR Regions 13
