  1. NAVIGATION DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPE Alex Hendriks Deputy Director ATM Strategies EUROCONTROL

  2. Infrastructure Evolution Requirements • Strategic Objectives (cf. Navigation Strategy): “a total RNAV environment for all operations en-route and in TMA” and “a judicious deployment of space based navigation infrastructure and the rationalisation of ground navigation infrastructure” Target:VOR and NDB withdrawnby 2020+

  3. European Navigation Solutions • Navigation Strategy = central tool for Airspace Organization • Navigation Strategy is Performance Based • Enables closer route spacing=>Capacity benefit • Facilitates access into airports in complex environments – e.g. high terrain • Responds to environmental requirements • =>Low noise routings • =>Enabler for Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA) • =>Provides repeatable, predictable track keeping • Provides navigation performance benchmark • => Facilitates PAN-European and Global Harmonization • => Reduces costs for operators

  4. European Challenges • Multi-national flavour of service provision • Privatized / Corporatized / “...ized” ANSPs • Competing airport interests • Terminal Airspace design methodology differences • Protective attitude with respect to national sovereignty – particularly regarding airspace limits (e.g. Terminal Airspace) • Pan-European harmonisation for (Terminal) Airspace • Competing operational interests • Airlines, GA/BA, Military,

  5. Conflicting Demands • Traffic increases • Especially demands from low cost airlines • Airports peripheral to main hubs have significantly increased traffic • Complex SID/STAR interaction due to growth of major terminal areas and regional airports • Environmental Pressure • Often prevents optimum use of terminal airspace • Fuel Costs

  6. APV Implementation Benefits • HIGH PRIORITY • Safety • reduce the number of CFiT occurrences • Economy • potential for lower minima • More fuel efficient profiles • Environmental • Lower noise (reduced thrust changes/aircraft higher than on step down approaches) • Lower Fuel burn for CDA • No mandatory implementation date • Target: all conventional and GPS non precision approaches will be replaced by CDA enabled by APV

  7. P-RNAV COMPLIANCE STATEMENT 4224= 56% 3305= 44% NO COMPLIANCE STATEMENT Aircraft P-RNAV Compliance (2006)

  12. Infrastructure Optimisation Steps • DME ground infrastructure optimisation • supportRNAV operations • synchronised with RNAV evolution • 1st VOR and NDB reduction step • minimum mix by 2015 • synchronised with RNAV evolution • maintain safety & continuity en-route and in TMA • 2nd VOR and NDB reduction step (withdrawal) • complete by 2020 • Subsequent to mandating a new navigation capability; • Safety and continuity maintained by other means
