PBN Roadmap

Today, global aviation is facing new challenges and is trying to optimize limited airspace capacity.

ICAOAll aviation stakeholders require better and safer access to challenging airports, smoother Air Traffic Control integration and lower operating costs. To get immediate operational benefits and optimistic market forecasts, ICAO and other first rank stakeholders have developed new navigation applications in various regions worldwide and for all phases of flight and ground operations. 

To comply with 21th Century Aviation Challenges, ICAO objective is to redefine the Regional differences of Various Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) specifications into an harmonized package of PBN procedures.

PBNIn this green context, Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) is helping the aviation industry to conserve fuel, participate in eco-efficient developments, reduce aircraft noise, operates in all weathers, even at the most complex airports worldwide. Today, the objective of any Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) solution is to provide a greater flexibility and a higher operating profitability.

Due to the numerous benefits of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), many governments have declared their wilingness to support and push forward the development and deployment of this concept.
