O P E R A T I O N A L P E R F O R M A N C E Performance- Based Navigation
Realize the full POTENTIAL OF Your Boeing FLEET ATM advantages can be yours today with Performance-Based Navigation Boeing has pioneered performance-based navigation (PBN), the advanced air navigation framework on which the future global air traffic management (ATM) system will rely. Combining satellite-based navigation with modern aircraft capabilities and other advancements, PBN uses air navigation technologies that include required navigation performance (RNP), the most precise of all flight guidance. The path to Required Navigation Performance RNP AR (authorization required) is the most capable form of RNP. It enables curving approach paths that can avoid terrain or noise-sensitive areas and shorten flight tracks to the runway. Airlines today use PBN in all parts of the world and all phases of flight. They know it delivers real-world operational benefits that include: Enhanced Safety PBN flight guidance is more accurate, robust, stabilized, and repeatable. Reduced Environmental Impact PBN saves fuel, reduces emissions, and provides greater flexibility to avoid noise-sensitive areas surrounding busy airports. Increased Profitability PBN improves the bottom line by reducing per-flight fuel consumption and systemic air traffic control (ATC) flight delays, and supporting instrument landings to lower minimums for fewer weather-related diversions. Increased Efficiency PBN makes flying more direct for shorter flight times and tighter schedule compliance.
Increased Flexibility PBN increases airport accessibility and supports other operational solutions that traditional ATC cannot. Increased System Capacity PBN lets more aircraft operate within a given airspace with equivalent or greater safety. PBN enables satellite-based precision landing capabilities and advanced fuel-saving flight operations such as the Boeing Tailored Arrivals concept. In the future, PBN will enable the four-dimensional (4D) flight guidance (three spatial dimensions plus time) of end-state ATM, whereby the airplane s time of arrival at each waypoint along its flight path is dynamically controlled. PROVEN PARTNER FOR PBN IMPLEMENTATION Let the Boeing Jeppesen Performance- Based Navigation team work for you Teamed with navigation solutions provider Jeppesen, a wholly-owned Boeing subsidiary, we offer the most complete and comprehensive suite of PBN and RNP products and services available anywhere. Whether you re an airline or Boeing Business Jet operator, regulator, air navigation service provider (ANSP), or airport authority, the Boeing Jeppesen team can define tailored RNP solutions for you that maximize the benefits of this powerful technology. Let us create for you a complete RNP solution that brings you the advantages of our leading expertise, resources as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and ability to facilitate operational approvals as an FAA-qualified AC90-101 consultant. Our experience dates back to the very first RNP flight in 1996, when Boeing helped Alaska Airlines pioneer RNP flight procedures at Juneau, Alaska. Working with the global aviation community under International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) auspices, we also assisted in drafting RNP and PBN technical standards, and helped airlines and regulatory authorities around the world implement many of the first RNP AR operational approvals. In recognition of this ongoing leadership, Boeing today heads the Performance-Based Aviation Rulemaking Committee (PARC), which advises the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
