PERFORMANCE BASED WHAT ?

• COMMUNICATIONS
• HF What standards
• Datalink First performance based communications
• SATVOICE
• NAVIGATION
• MNPS
• RNAV
• RNP
• RNP SAAAR
• SURVEILLANCE
• China graph pencil
• Radar
• ADS C
• ADS B(Computer integrations)

ADVANTAGES FOR THE AIRLINE

• MNPS
• RNP 10
• FANS 1/A (1995)
• SEPARATION BASED ON ALL THREE ELEMENTS
• Optimum routing
• UPRs
• DARPS
• Navigation closer to obstacles/ restricted
  airspace, etc.
• Less fuel / greater payload
• Less time

4
DIFFICULTIES

• NON STANDARD PROCEDURES
• ATC in one location
• Pilots fly in many airspaces
• Infrastructure world wide
• LEADS TO
• Errors
• Therefore reduced performance
• Therefore increased separation
• Less than optimum performance
• AIM
• Standards infrastructure and operations world
  wide
• FANS The GOLD standard
• CAA / ICAO
• Lack of timely documentation
• Nothing to certify against
• Nothing to gain operational approval against
