**** Hidden Message ***** FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Required Navigation Performance<BR>(RNP), Area Navigation (RNAV)<BR>Implementation<BR>Mr. Hooper Harris<BR>FAA/JAA Annual Meeting<BR>Phoenix, AZ<BR>June 3 - 7, 2002<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Overview<BR>• Definitions and Advantages<BR>– RNAV, RNP, and RNP RNAV<BR>• Differentiation<BR>• Benefits<BR>• Implementation - mitigating risk<BR>• Conclusion<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>RNAV<BR>• RNAV is a method of navigation that<BR>permits aircraft operation on any<BR>desired flight path: e.g., “user preferred<BR>routes.”<BR>• The application of RNAV techniques<BR>has been shown to provide a number of<BR>advantages over conventional (sourcereferenced)<BR>forms of navigation.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>RNAV Advantages<BR>1. User preferred routes – tracks that consider pressure<BR>altitude and wind and are not associated with or<BR>constrained by an underlying navigation aid.<BR>2. Establishment of:<BR>a. more direct routes, resulting in shorter flight distances;<BR>b. dual or parallel routes to accommodate a greater flow<BR>of en route traffic;<BR>c. bypass routes for aircraft over flying high-density<BR>terminal areas;<BR>d. alternatives or contingency routes, either planned or<BR>unplanned (e.g., severe weather avoidance); and<BR>e. the best locations for holding patterns.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>RNP & Advantages<BR>• A statement of the navigation performance<BR>accuracy necessary for operation within a<BR>defined airspace.<BR>• The term RNP is also applied as a descriptor<BR>for airspace, routes, and procedures. The<BR>descriptor is flexible and can apply to a<BR>unique approach procedure or to a large<BR>region of airspace. RNP applies to navigation<BR>performance accuracy within an airspace,<BR>and therefore includes the capability of both<BR>the available infrastructure (navigation aids)<BR>and the aircraft.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>RNP RNAV - Per ICAO Doc 9613<BR>• RTCA DO-236/EUROCAE ED-75.<BR>– Merges the accuracy standard in the ICAO Manual, with the<BR>containment requirements and area navigation functional<BR>and performance standards.<BR>– The containment region quantifies the navigation<BR>performance where the probability of an un-annunciated<BR>deviation greater than 2 x RNP is less than 1 x 10-5.<BR>– The containment region (defined as 2 times the RNP) could<BR>help with safety assessments for separation and obstacle<BR>clearance.<BR>• RNP RNAV will support the development of new<BR>obstacle clearance or aircraft-to-aircraft separation.<BR>• RNP RNAV will enable reliable, predictable and<BR>repeatable ground tracks through standardized<BR>avionics functions.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Differentiation<BR>95% Accuracy<BR>95% Accuracy<BR>95%<BR>Accuracy<BR>95%<BR>Accuracy<BR>Containment<BR>Zone<BR>Containment<BR>Zone<BR>1xRNP<BR>1xRNP<BR>2xRNP<BR>2xRNP<BR>ICAO RNP<BR>RTCA/EUROCAE<BR>RNP RNAV<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Transition Strategy<BR>• In the short term, emphasis should be on RNAV<BR>implementation using all available means<BR>(GNSS, ground-based, and self-contained<BR>navaids).<BR>• The mid term should focus on the transition to<BR>RNP RNAV based on GNSS.<BR>• RNP RNAV is based on the following systems,<BR>where these systems meet navigation<BR>requirements:<BR>– GNSS<BR>– GNSS/INS<BR>– DME/DME/INS<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Industry Requirements<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Operational Approvals<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Public vs. Specials<BR>Public Use<BR>- RNP 10, 5,<BR>2, 1, 0.3<BR>- RNAV IAPs<BR>- DPs and STARs<BR>Specials<BR>- RNP < 0.3<BR>- Alaska Airlines<BR>- Certification &<BR>Aircrew Training<BR>- Equipment<BR>Requirements<BR>- RTCA SC-181<BR>WG13 to address<BR>RNP <0.3<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Cooperative Goal<BR>• Middle Ground is Similar to ILS Cat II/III<BR>Approvals<BR>– public use - however<BR>– special aircrew training/equipment<BR>required<BR>• Build upon today’s RNP Values<BR>– Implement RNP <0.3 where beneficial<BR>– Working to identify priority airports<BR>• Future: RNAV Approach with vertical<BR>guidance can achieve precision like<BR>functionality<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Key Issues for Implementation<BR>• Standardization of publication/charting.<BR>• Means of notifying users of the available<BR>navigation infrastructure.<BR>• Means of managing changes in the<BR>navigation infrastructure.<BR>• DME issues.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Key Issues (continued)<BR>• Means of providing operational status<BR>information to ATC.<BR>• Accommodation of previously approved<BR>RNAV systems (e.g., RNAV FMS).<BR>• Relationship between RNP level and<BR>obstacle clearance.<BR>• Relationship between RNP level and<BR>airspace.<BR>• Navigation Data Issues.<BR>FFAAAA<BR>19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference<BR>Conclusion<BR>• RNP RNAV can satisfy the navigation element<BR>of the CNS/ATM equation.<BR>• Predictable and repeatable flight paths allow<BR>navigation to contribute to meeting the long<BR>term concept of “Free Flight” and in shaping<BR>air navigation as an integral part of the Global<BR>CNS/ATM Plan.
