3. Resolution made at the ICAO 36th & 37th General Assembly
Background
Resolution made at the ICAO 36th & 37th General Assembly
European States plan the implementation of APV/SBAS (LPV) procedures to all instrument runway-ends, based on SBAS, EGNOS in Europe.
Projects launched and supported by EC/GSA to implement procedures & operations based on European GNSS systems
European Satellite Service Provider
EGNOS SoL service declared operational on the 2nd of March 2011
LPV operational implementation on its way in Europe:
More than 73 LPV & 74 APV Baro published.
Pre-operational projects (trials & support)
Operational projects (publication/certification & advanced procedures)

4. Issues/gaps to be addressed. Users’ requests
End users are demanding new operations to improve and achieve the following benefits and make use of capabilities already available onboard:
Efficiency and operational benefits
More stabilised final segment approach, reduction of missed approaches
Decongest TMA, new operations in RWYs not equipped with ILS or terrestrial navaids
Precision departures: reduction of departure climb gradient
Cost Efficiency
Reduction of flying time / fuel consumption -> better service / cost saving for operators
Reduction of terrestrial equipment maintenance -> cost saving for ANSPs
Low cost GNSS sensors with high performance
Environmental benefits: Reduction of noise and emissions
Implementing new operations based on new nav.specs. (ICAO doc. 9613)
RNP curved arrivals/approaches, A-RNP, RNP APCH (LPV), RNP AR, RNP 1, etc.
RF legs prior to FAP, Advanced operations
Increase safety with these new operations
These gaps will be addressed in the FilGAPP Project using GNSS as key positioning / time enabler

Conclusions
LPV is now a reality in Europe.
End users are demanding new operations using GNSS as enabler.
Curved approaches with RF prior to FAP and final transition to LPV.
Operators have to be equipped with SBAS capability.
ANSPs and Airports have to implement these operations.
EC/GSA is supporting these activities (Sherpa, ACCEPTA, …).
FilGAPP Project will demonstrate the benefits provided by these advanced operations through different flight trials.
In Spain: Valencia and Pamplona
In Germany. Egelsbach and Saarbrücken
