Broadly, PBN encompasses a shift from current ground-based navigation aids emitting signals to aircraft receivers, to ‘in-aircraft’ systems that receive satellite signals that meet specific accuracy and integrity requirements combined with the Global Positioning System (GPS) to advise the aircraft’s position. PBN therefore
Elements of a PBN system are already in use in New Zealand to meet industry needs, e.g. the ‘Required Navigation Performance’ (RNP) approaches to Queenstown Airport and ‘Area Navigation’ (RNAV) Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) routes and non-precision approaches. In early 2008 the Ministry and CAA had representations from the aviation industry for a coordinated approach. Such an approach is necessary to assist the fuller implementation of PBN in New Zealand, including an appropriate regulatory framework to allow the use of advanced navigation technology by aircraft operators.
The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation Authority held a workshop for the aviation industry on the future development and introduction of PBN in the New Zealand air traffic system. Participants included airlines operating in and to/from New Zealand, the Airways Corporation of New Zealand; the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association; the Aviation Industry Association; the Board of Airline Representatives; the New Zealand Defence Force; the New Zealand Airports Association; and the Royal New Zealand Aero Club. The workshop also involved Ian Mallett of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia in his capacity as Chair of the ICAO Asia-Pacific Region PBN Task Force.
