2. Comprehensive Explanation
Implement precision area navigation (P-RNAV) procedures to
capitalize on the performance benefits offered by approved aircraft
This is an interim objective aimed towards establishing a global RNP
RNAV environment, and individual States, airports and aircraft operators
will need to evaluate the business need for P-RNAV procedures according
to local circumstances;
Type - PCP
Scope – ECAC;
Applicability – All ECAC States, except Slovak Republic;
Initial Operation Capability (IOC) – 01/2001;
Full Operational Capability (FOC) – 31/12/2023.

5. Most important SLoA(s)
ASP01- Develop and implement RNAV arrival and departure procedures for PRNAV approved aircraft;
ASP02 - Provide appropriate terrestrial navigation infrastructure to support RNAV operations;
ASP03 - Train air traffic controllers in RNAV procedures;
ASP11 - Develop a Local P-RNAV Safety Case;
USE01 - Install appropriate RNAV equipment;
USE02 - Train aircrews in RNAV TMA procedures;
ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective NAV03

6. Most important Finalisation Criteria
ASP01 - RNAV arrival and departures implemented in accordance with EUROCONTROL guidance material and JAA TGL 10 and declared in national AIP, and in use;
ASP02 - Infrastructure assessed and modified if required to meet the requirements for DME/DME procedures;
ASP03 - The necessary training given to controllers responsible for the operation of RNAV terminal procedures;
ASP11 - Local P-RNAV Safety Case finalized and approved by the National Supervisory Authority;
USE01 - All civil transport aircraft operating in ECAC states are capable of P-RNAV operations;
USE02 - Training manuals have been updated to include RNAV TMA procedures. The aircrew is trained accordingly;
