Presentation Overview
PBN Vol 1 Part B Chapter 4 PBN Process #3 Step 3 and 4 ICAO doc 9906 vol 5 IDS solution
PBN Vol 1, Part B, Chapter 4 PROCESS 3 Planning and Implementation
Step 1 Formulate Safety Plan
Step 2 Validate Airspace Concept for Safety
Step 3 Procedure Design
Step 4 Procedure Validation
Step 5 Implementation Decision
Step 6 Flight Inspection
Step 7 ATC System Considerations
Step 8 Awareness & Training Material
Step 8b Train Flight Crews
Step 8a Train ATC
Step 9 Establish Operational Implementation Date
Step 10 Post Implementation Review
Notes on Process #3 The activities in Process 3 would be followed for any level of PBN implementation A single instrument approach procedure A set of terminal arrival and departure routes A entire airspace redesign
The activities described in Process 3 are not new – undertaken with any implementation
Inputs to process #3 The navigation functional requirements, fleet capability, and CNS/ATM capabilities identified in Process 1 The ICAO Navigation Specification(s) selected through Process 2 Possible additional Region or State requirements for implementation should be identified and incorporated
Step 3: procedure design •
Procedure Design includes – ATS Routes (enroute, arrival, departure) and – Instrument Approach procedures
•
Design criteria in ICAO Doc 8168 (Vol II) Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Aircraft Operations (PANS OPS) – RNP AR APCH design criteria in ICAO RNP AR Procedure Design Manual
Also see PBN Manual Volume II Navigation Specifications sections on Obstacle Clearance
Step 3: procedure design Designers must ensure procedures can be coded into navigation databases in ARINC 424 format Requires understanding differences in path terminator coding for aircraft RNAV systems
Overview in ICAO PBN Manual, Vol I, Attachment A “Area Navigation Systems” Also see ICAO Doc 8168 PANS OPS Vol II, Chapter 5 Cooperation with data base providers is essential Many aircraft are equipped with RNAV systems that are only capable of using a sub‐set of the available ARINC 424 path terminators
Step 4: Ground Validation Design Criteria Compliance Verification of navigation data Verification of infrastructure
Runway markings Airport lighting Navigation signal sources Communications
Complements similar objectives of Flight
Initial verification of procedure flyability
Software or simulator
Validation and Flight Inspection
Step 4: Ground Validation Quality Assurance is needed in each step of the procedure design process To ensure Necessary levels of accuracy and integrity in data quality Compliance with design criteria Adequate mitigations in place if portions of criteria are waived

Validation activities Ground Validation
Obstacle clearance Charting Coding Flyability
Flight Validation Obstacle verification Flyability (workload, charting, manoeuvring) Infrastructure
Database Validation
Ground Validation Obstacle clearance – Independent review by procedure designer
Charting Independent review
Coding
Independent review – can be part of same organisation
Software tool or Expert review
Flyability – software tools (from PC‐based to full flight simulator) Not necessarily an issue with standard procedures (e.g. ‘T’ approaches), but critical for some aircraft types Range of aircraft and meteo conditions
IDS solution Step 3 Procedure Design
Step 4 Procedure Validation
FPDAM+FPSAT will ensure the step 3 and 4 to be carried out with ensured high level of automation
FPSAT FPSAT is a pre/post processor that enables procedure ground validation specialist to: Verify how the FMS will fly the coded procedure taking into account ARINC Path &
Termination, type of aircraft, kinematic constraints, weather conditions. Compare and validate FMS navigation database including proper ARINC 424 Coding check Assess the procedure at allowed temperature limits Assess the procedure with adverse wind components Compare that Flight tracks matches procedure design Flyability check based on PBN, 9906 and user defined rules (fly over, max bank angle achieved) Document the following information as satisfactory: Heading/Track, Distance, GPWS Alerts, Flight Path Angle (for Final Segment only); and note the wind component and temperature conditions Record simulation data Verify GNSS performances (GPS,SBAS,GBAS) and RAIM (FD,FDE, Baro) outages along the trajectory. Verify signal continuity, coverage and couples availability of DME/DME as well as crtical DMEs along the trajectory.
