    Acknowledgements

    • This publication was created by the CANSO Performance-Based Navigation Workgroup.
    • Key contributors include Jeff Cochrane (NAV CANADA), Brendan Kelly (NATS), Phil Rakena (Airways New Zealand), and Jeff Williams (Tetratech AMT).
    • Other valuable contributors are Scott Blum (Jeppesen), Dave Joubert (ATNS), Simon Young (Airservices Australia), Robert Novia (FAA), Mike Sammartino (CGH Technologies), and various other CANSO PBN WG members.

    Foreword

    • Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) is the highest air navigation priority for ICAO.
    • PBN is a key element of ICAO's Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU).
    • PBN has improved airspace efficiency worldwide for several years.
    • CANSO recognizes the need for greater support in future PBN implementation, across a 15-year lifespan.
    • The document outlines current and future PBN-related technologies/services.
    • Identifying potential implementation issues for ANSPs is a key goal.
    • The document aims to help CANSO Members with future PBN planning by highlighting relevant capabilities and resources.

    Executive Summary

    • The report provides an ANSP perspective on performance-based navigation (PBN) through 2030.
    • PBN is integral to the "perfect flight" concept, linked to communication, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management (CNS/ATM).
    • PBN offers safety and efficiency through optimized ATM routing/ATFM.
    • The 15-year replacement cycle for aviation technology is typical, placing emphasis on preparation for future needs.
    • Multiple stakeholders need significant support, guidance, and preparation for the PBN implementation as required.
    • Multiple documents, associations, and resources contribute to the creation of this document.
    • Long-term planning and review will be needed for this vision.
    • Key partners have been considered in the report's creation (e.g. ICAO, SESAR, NextGen, IATA).

    Operational Vision

    • PBN improves airspace efficiency and capacity across FIR boundaries.
    • PBN will be used in lateral, vertical, or time-based navigation.
    • Navigation performance supports expanded communication, surveillance, and required air traffic infrastructure.
    • The transition to PBN moves from traditional route navigation to more flexible point-to-point area navigation.
    • Oceanic/Remote Continental: RNP 2, expected transition.
    • Oceanic/Remote Continental navigation will leverage satellite constellations for enhanced availability.
    • Expected increase in airspace capacity in oceanic/remote regions.
    • En Route: All operations (likely) expected to use PBN by 2030.
    • PBN will likely replace RNP 4 and RNAV 10 procedures.

    PBN Navigational Infrastructure

    • GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) core satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou,) will be in place.
    • Multi-constellation GBAS (Ground-Based Augmentation System) expected to be used for CAT I, II, and III operations.
    • Increased capability in weather, obstacle, and clearance applications are expected.
    • Data management with SWIM (System Wide Information Management) and open data standards (e.g. AIXM).
    • The integrity and compatibility of various data sources/standards (e.g., FMS, FMS applications) will be improved.
    • The use of contingency navigation solutions/improved GNSS signal resilience will allow for more robust systems.
    • Continued development of new contingency solutions is projected

    Safety

    • States are implementing PBN-based approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV) to support greater safety across all runways.
    • The expected transition is to RNP approaches (in line with Assembly Resolution A37-11).
    • RNP approaches lead to fewer disruption periods (due to weather or other factors)
    • Navigation specifications, flight procedures, new separation standards, and contingency procedures support safety.

    Environmental and Community Considerations

    • PBN flight planning needs to be ecologically considerate of noise impacts, particularly in sensitive areas (residential, educational, or religious sites)
    • Public consultation and engagement on PBN deployment are necessary.
    • ANSPs must account for various environmental challenges.
    • Noise-sensitive areas should be identified and accommodated for in procedure design.

    RPAS and UAS

    • Integration of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) into controlled airspace is expected.
    • Smaller RPAS operations below 500 feet AGL may be excluded from controlled airspace parameters (though this varies between States).
    • Larger RPAS may have the capability for TSO certification.
    • Barometric altimetry (used for vertical separation) is an equipage issue for smaller vehicles.

    Conclusions

    • PBN will continue to improve capacity, safety, and efficiency in airspace.
    • ANSPs and stakeholders will benefit from the continued progress of PBN.
    • Ongoing collaboration with ICAO, IATA, and ACI is anticipated.
