AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3 02/11/11 AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES TO AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT STUDY GROUP (AIS-AIMSG) FIFTH MEETING Montréal, 7 to 11 November 2011 Agenda Item 9: Other Business Report on IFPP Activities which Impact on Annex 4, Annex 15 and related manuals (Prepared by R. Luccioli) SUMMARY This information paper reports on the activities carried out by the ICAO Instrument Flight Procedure Panel (IFPP) relating the development of Amendment 57 Material for Annex 4 (Date of applicability: 14/11/2013) and Amendment 37 Material for Annex 15 (Date of applicability: 14/11/2013). The IFPP is also progressing material for the Doc 8126 (AIS Manual) and Doc 8697 (Charting Manual), whether these are involved. The group is invited to note the content of this document. 1. INTRODUCTION The Information Paper presents a report on the activities of the Instrument Flight Procedure Panel, in relation to charting, publication issues and navigation data requirements, and how this has an impact on Annex 4, Annex 15 and related manuals. 2. MATERIAL DEVELOPED FOR INCLUSION IN ANNEX 4 AND 15 2.1 SBAS Charting and Publication. Document 8168 recognizes APV I/II - SBAS Approach Procedures. For these procedures to be charted and encoded in navigation databases intended for on-board use. There is a minimum amount of information required for publication by the States. Specific aspects of charting SBAS procedures have been discussed. (6 pages) a) SBAS procedures should be charted as RNAV (GNSS) procedures (e.g. RNAV (GNSS) Z RWY 17L, where the trailing alpha character Z indicates this is the first of multiple GNSS procedures to runway 17 L). The procedure title remains

AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3-2 - the same, RNAV (GNSS) RWY XX, regardless of SBAS LPV minima. This permits a standardized ATS phraseology for all the procedure types that are supported with SBAS; b) SBAS procedures may be selected either with entry of a channel number or via a menu driven process; The channel number is a five digit number that must be regionally unique. The SBAS channel number range is from 40,000 to 99,999. Channel number assignments are required for LPV and LP procedures. c) In order to confirm procedure identification and selection, RPI (Reference Path Identifier) is charted. The SBAS RPI is a three or four character field in the SBAS FAS data block. For a WAAS procedure, the leading alpha character is W. The middle two characters are numeric characters representing the runway number. Annex 10 suggests that the leading alpha character for an EGNOS procedure is E. d) Since SBAS avionics may be used to fly different procedure types, it is necessary to standardize how these various lines of minima are charted; LPV and LP procedures, if they exist to the same runway, are charted separately. The separate charting is required since the VAL in the FAS data block, the RPI and channel numbers will be different. 2.2 Material relating SBAS Charting and Publication, developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented in Appendix A. 2.3 GLS Procedure Publication. ICAO Document 8168 recognizes GBAS GLS-type Approach Procedures. For these procedures to be adequately promulgated through charting and encoded in navigation databases intended for on-board use there is a minimum amount of information required for publication by the States. The minimum information to be published with a GLS procedure has been identified and are hereafter listed: a) Reference Path Identifier (RPI) b) Channel Number c) GBAS Reference Point information, to include: latitude/longitude, identifier, service volume radius, MSL elevation, and ellipsoid height. 2.4 Material relating GLS Procedure Publication developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented in Appendix A 2.5 Publication of magnetic bearings on RNAV Routes. Several ICAO Annexes and Documents contain a dedicated Appendix outlining aeronautical data quality requirements i.e. accuracy, resolution and integrity classification for main aviation data. Magnetic bearing data for RNAV Routes should be classified within the Bearing type of data and treated as airway segment related information. Therefore, consideration was given for including magnetic bearing in the corresponding Bearing Table of Appendixes to Annex 4, 11, 15, applying the same integrity, publication/charting resolution and accuracy level as determined for airway segment (conventional) bearing. A specific explanatory text on how States should apply publication of magnetic bearing for RNAV Route segments for addition to Annex 15 and Doc. 8126 should be provided. 2.6 Material relating Publication of magnetic bearings on RNAV Routes developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented in attachment to this document (Appendix B).

- 3 - AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3 2.7 Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) approach manoeuvring visual segments (VS). Proposals for Annex 4 charting requirements for helicopter PinS approach procedures that contain a maneuvering visual segment have been developed. Inset or Continuation Sheet. For Proceed Visually procedures there will always be either a Direct VS inset, or a Maneuvering VS inset, or a combination of the two in a single inset (if simple enough to depict), or separate Direct and Maneuvering VS insets. Information in the insets will be charted to scale including obstacles. If an inset is too cluttered, it can be charted on the reverse side of the chart or continuation chart. The minimum elements that need to be depicted in the inset include: a) obstacles that penetrate the OIS; b) final approach course to the MAPt c) text for either Proceed VFR from (MAPt), Proceed Visually from (MAPt), or Maneuver Visually from MAPt, as appropriate; d) for Proceed Visually PinS procedures with a direct visual segment, the descent point (DP), if established, and bearings and distances from MAPt to DP and from MAPt or DP to the heliport/landing location; e) for Manoeuvre Visually PinS procedures with a maneuvering visual segment(s), the centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) and the boundary of the maneuvering area without dimensions are charted; f) for Proceed Visually PinS procedures with a No Fly area, the text No Fly will be shown, along with the boundary of the No Fly area. The No Fly area shall be shaded. g) for Maneuver Proceed Visually PinS procedures where over flight of the heliport or landing location is prohibited, the bearing and distance, from the MAPt to the heliport or landing location, on a line from the MAPt to the boundary of the prohibited over flight area; and, h) for Proceed VFR procedures, only a height above surface (HAS) diagram, which shall include the difference in height between the OCA and the elevation of the highest terrain or water surface within 1.5 km (0.8 NM) of the MAPt and any significant obstacles. Charting No Fly Areas. When No Fly areas are established, the no fly area boundaries will be shown but without dimensions. Plan View. The Direct VS, if one exists, is charted in the plan view. If it doesn t exist, the bearing and distance from the MAPt to the heliport or landing location is charted. No other information from the inset is charted on the plan view. The plan view includes: a) heliport/landing location name and elevation to the nearest metre or foot; b) bearing to the nearest degree, and distance to the nearest two-tenths of a kilometre or tenth of a nautical mile from the missed approach point (MAPt) to the heliport/landinglocation;

AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3-4 - c) textual instructions to Proceed VFR from xxxx (MAPt identifier) or Proceed visually from xxxx (MAPt identifier) or Maneuver Visually from xxxx (MAPt identifier), as appropriate; and, d)obstacles, if not included, in an inset. Profile View. The profile view contains the information relating to the instrument procedure profile and the Direct VS centreline of the approach surface. The profile view of the chart will include: a) Fixes, altitudes and distances up to the MAPt b) The profile and track from the MAPt to the heliport or landing location c) The descent point, if established d) The descent angle from the MAPt or DP e) The heliport crossing height (HCH) f) The text Proceed Visually is located under the visual segment profile Profiles of maneuvering VS centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) are not charted since the maneuvering VS centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) will always conform to the Annex 14, Volume II heliport OLS. The visual segment descent angle (VSDA) of 8.3 (14.6%) provides a 1.2 buffer above the sloping OLS. Additionally, the profile from the MAPt of PinS approach maneuvering visual segment to the centreline of the approach surface is not defined. 2.8 Material relating Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) approach manoeuvring visual segments (VS) developed for Annex 4 is presented is presented in Appendix C. 2.9 Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) departure manoeuvring visual segments (VS). Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) departure maneuvering visual segments (VS) have been developed and material for Annex 4 developed. Using the departure maneuvering visual segment (VS) procedure design criteria previously developed, the discussions have led to the identification of principles for the charting of the subject procedures Maneuvering VS Procedure Charting. The heliport, the departure VS maneuvering area and the IDF shall be charted on the departure maneuvering VS inset. The information in the departure maneuvering VS inset shall be depicted to scale. Other items included on the inset or departure chart are: a) Centreline(s) of the take-off climb surface(s) and direction(s). b) The IDF MCA. c) Maneuvering area boundaries. d) The track of the first instrument segment originating from the IDF. e) All penetrations of the OIS. f) No Fly areas and their boundaries. Departure Procedure with Maneuvering VS Inset on a Continuation Sheet. If the departure maneuvering VS inset is depicted on a continuation sheet or the verso of the departure procedure chart, the departure procedure chart shall be annotated directing the pilot to a continuation sheet or reverse side of the chart. 2.10 Material relating Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) departure manoeuvring visual segments (VS) developed for Annex 4 is presented in Appendix D.

- 5 - AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3 2.11 Development of charting, data capturing and publication criteria for PinS operations for helicopters. It has been proposed to introduce aeronautical data quality requirements (accuracy, integrity classification, publication & charting resolution) associated to HCH (Helicopter Crossing Height). Definitions, abbreviations and the numerical requirements for HCH to be included in ICAO Annex 4 and Annex 15 have been developed. For defining the HCH data quality elements, the supporting material related to chart/publication resolution and integrity class contained in industry standards DO-201A/ ED-77A Standards for Aeronautical Information has been used as recommended by Annex 4 Aeronautical Charts, Chapter 2, paragraph 2.17 Aeronautical data. The proposed definition for HCH also references the term Heliport Reference Point (HRP). However, some of the ICAO documents have already considered the term HRP (acronym and/or definition) together with its assigned quality data numerical requirements. Where missing, for consistency reason, inclusion of HRP definition & acronym in these documents has also been considered in the amendment proposal presented in Appendix E. 2.12 Material relating charting, data capturing and publication criteria for PinS operations for helicopters developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented Appendix E. 2.13 Depiction of RNP Navigation Accuracies on RNP Route Segments. It was agreed that amendments to Annex 15, Annex 4, Annex 4 Appendix 2, Doc 8697 and, Doc 8168 would be required to standardize the depiction of route segment RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirements. Four different RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement depiction methods have been discussed. The following criteria, named Charting by Exception has been recognized to be the best methodology to follow: a) Charting by Exception: Charting of the route segment RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement by exception. In this case, there is a general statement in the State s AIP and/or the chart legend such as, All route segment Navigation Specification accuracy requirements are RNP x.x, except where otherwise noted. If a specific route segment RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement differs from x.x, the RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement will be charted in the route segment data. This charting methodology reduces chart clutter. It involves statements of the RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirements in the State AIP for specific air space and in the chart legend note citing the accuracy requirement for the RNP route segments on the chart. When the required RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement differs from the standard value, information is charted by exception in the route segment data. 2.14 Material relating the depiction of RNP Navigation Accuracies on RNP Route Segments developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented in Appendix F. 3.
