PBN Deployment – New Zealand Domestic Airspace CAA PBN Forum November Auckland
Background Drivers Modern FMS Ground aids reaching end of life Operational efficiency Environmental ICAO IATA
70 % rule FAA experience. Less than 70% users able to use – don’t implement More than 70% users able to use – implement and withdraw conventional
In the beginning Establish RNAV as the default language/method of navigation and ATM at AA, WN and CH –1/. RNAV STAR –2/. RNAV SID –3/. RNAV En-route between –4/. RNAV approach as supplement to ILS
Followed by Establishing RNAV as default language/method of navigation and ATM at all airports with regional control towers –1/. HN, RO, TG –2/. NV, DN, WP –3/. NS, WB –4/. OH, PM, NP –5/. NR, GS
Ideal roll out – ATC perspective Airport specific - implement as a package RNAV STAR RNAV Approach RNAV SID Separation charts to enable management Staff training
Current anomalies/difficulties Some regional airports have parts of the package. Result of nav aids reaching end of life. Mixed fleet equipage. Complex lateral separations Mixed messages.
Existing PBN procedures RNP10 (RNAV 10) in OCA RNP4 Trans-Tasman RNAV Enroute RNAV SIDs and STARs RNAV(GNSS) 57 locations 16 runways RNP Queenstown RNP RO, AA, WN, CH coming
So what’s to come Establish/confirm the Regional PBN Plan Initial scoping meeting – July 09 ATC planning meeting - 5,6,7,8 Oct 09 Feedback from regional CCs Ongoing coordination with users. User meeting 1 Dec 09 Generic Tower Model established (Feb 2010)
Generic Regional Tower model McDonalds Supermarket From RNAV En-route to Feeder Fix RNAV STAR to Approach. Approach will be RNAV (GNSS). Upgrade to APV (Baro V NAV). Need to limit choices Assume VORs (used as approach aid) will go ? ICAO – PBN APV to all instrument runways by 2016
Chunks – step one Queenstown By itself – unique – jet – terrain – RNP AR Current ATM very inefficient with regards to traffic “flow” Departure example, 23 minute delay once RNP approach “committed”. Review in progress. Next meeting 23, 24, November
Chunks - step two RO, HN, TG Plan Feb, March, April2010 Implement Nov2010
Chunks – step three NV, DN, WP PlanMay, June2010 NS, WB PlanJuly, Aug2010 OH, PM, NP PlanSept, October2010 NR, GS PlanFeb March2011 Implement through 2011
PBN – Issues/Considerations Customer needs – sort this out first Fleet capability Charting standards Procedure design capability Regulator capability (rules) to approve PBN operations Public vs. Tailored RNP AR ATM considerations - Mixed mode operations What noise there is gets concentrated Who’s going to pay?
PBN – Issues/Considerations (2) Equipment performance standards RAIM Prediction service Back-up procedures Contingency – DME/DME, DVOR Flight planning requirements – ATM Training requirements
ATM system ability A lost message. ATM system still needs to monitor and assist the aircraft with PBN Current ground system could provide much more. Off track alert - Turn initiation - Cleared altitude vs actual climb For ATC to use this ability aircraft need Enhanced mode s - capable of up grade to ADS-B
RNAV Arrivals – Noise Concentration
