PBN Procedures

RNP and RNAV allow aircraft to fly precisely along a predefined route using state-of-the-art on-board navigation systems (Global Positioning System - GPS).

A Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) operation improves the efficiency, capacity and environmental performance of the global air transportation system.

Compared to RNAV, RNP adds accuracy, containment and integrity.

Comparison between conventional procedures & RNP procedures showing the direct benefits


Tailored Procedure = procedure optimized (in terms of performance) for the fleet of a given customer or for an aircraft model.

Public procedure = procedure able to work with all aircraft models. Lower degree of optimization
