Quovadis to support RNP to ILS Transition trial with Novair and LFV
Quovadis is pleased to announce that the VINGA project at Gothenburg Landvetter Airport has received EU financial support through the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) program.
VINGA builds on the experience of last year’s AIRE ‘MINT’ flight trials with Swedish airline NOVAIR where the combined benefits of RNP and CDO were demonstrated at Stockholm. VINGA goes a step further and will cover all phases of flight ‘en-route to en-route’ for NOVAIR’s A321’s arriving and departing from Gothenburg Landvetter Airport resulting in an estimated one ton CO2 saving per airport visit. For the first time, a transition from a RNP to an ILS approach will be demonstrated.
The VINGA consortium includes Novair, LFV, Göteborg Landvetter Airport and Quovadis, Airbus subsidiary for Performance Based Navigation Consulting. “We are proud to work with LFV, Novair and Göteborg Landvetter Airport; Sweden has been a leader in terms of environmental initiatives and the MINT and VINGA projects are very important to prove that RNP AR is an excellent solution to reduce fuel burn and avoid noise sensitive area” says Sebastien Borel, head of Sales and Marketing at Quovadis. “The RNP AR to ILS transition trial will tremendously serve the aviation community: everyone is waiting to see RNP AR being combined with a final precision approach such as an ILS CAT2”.
