Establish PBN ATM
• Main Trunk first
• Regional next
• En-route (to link the above) as necessary
Not initially in scope
• Uncontrolled aerodromes
• Helicopter etc
The plan
| Airways PBN
3
• Staged introduction V1, V2, V3
• V1 = Simple.
• V2 = Addition of reasonable amount of (ATM) speeds and levels
• V3 = Complex. Fully separated STARs from SIDs
STARs at AA WN and CH
| Airways PBN
4
Follow a similar staged introduction
• V1, V2, V3
• V1 = Simple. (starter for 10)
• V2 = Todays version
• V3 = Complex.
SIDs at AA WN CH

5
• All have ILS and are expected to retain these as the first choice IFR Approach
• All now have RNAV (GNSS) Approaches these are the second choice IFR Approach
Approaches (and MA) at AA WN CH

“Block” aerodromes in geographic lots
• QN/NV/DN Southern
• PM/OH Manawatu
• HN/RO/TG Waikato/BOP
• NR/GS Hawke Bay
• NS/WB Tasman
• NP Taranaki
• WP Whenuapai
Regional aerodromes treated differently

7
Comprehensive package of SIDs, STARs Apchs
• One airspace change
• Optimum staff training
• Removes mixed mode ops
• Linking SIDs and STARs

PBN Operations
• Main ports linked by full PBN
• AA, WN & CH use RNAV 1 SIDs/STARs
• Enroute Legs are RNAV 2
• Enabled ATM vis CAM and AMAN
• QN fully-separated RNP 1 SIDs/STARs to RNP AR APPs
• RNP AR APPs at AA and RO (WN and CH in 2015)
• RNP AR Dep at WN (Rwy34)
• RNAV(GNSS) APPs at all controlled regional aerodromes
Current Status

FMS ability
• Coding
ATM system ability
• Skyline
Embracing change
• ATCs going pretty well
Rule support
• CAA and Airways
Learnings
| Airways PBN
10
Scope creep
• Setting realistic time frames
Resourcing
• Airways, GEAD, CAA
Advanced RNP
• Is this going to be a biggie?
Learnings

RNP AR APPROACHES
• AA
• WN
• CH
Recent changes
| Airways PBN
12
Current discussion
• Are these Approaches
• Or are they Arrivals
Key point is
• They are VISUAL procedures requiring visual navigation in VMC
Visual (RNAV)
