3Resolution made at the ICAO 36th & 37th General Assembly European States plan the implementation of APV/SBAS (LPV) procedures to all instrument runway-ends, based on SBAS, EGNOS in Europe.Projects launched and supported by EC/GSA to implement procedures & operations based on European GNSS systems

European Satellite Service ProviderEGNOS SoL service declared operational on the 2nd of March 2011 LPV operational implementation on its way in Europe:More than 73 LPV & 74 APV Baro published.Prague, 4 February 2014

4End users are demanding new operations to improve and achieve the following benefits and make use of capabilities already available onboard: Efficiency and operational benefitsMore stabilised final segment approach, reduction of missed approachesDecongest TMA, new operations in RWYs not equipped with ILS or terrestrial navaidsPrecision departures: reduction of departure climb gradientCost EfficiencyReduction of flying time / fuel consumption -> better service / cost saving for operatorsReduction of terrestrial equipment maintenance -> cost saving for ANSPsLow cost GNSS sensors with high performanceEnvironmental benefits: Reduction of noise and emissionsImplementing new operations based on new nav.specs. (ICAO doc. 9613)RNP curved arrivals/approaches, A-RNP, RNP APCH (LPV), RNP AR, RNP 1, etc.RF legs prior to FAP, Advanced operationsIncrease safety with these new operationsThese gaps will be addressed in the FilGAPP Project using GNSS as key positioning / time enabler

LPV is now a reality in Europe.End users are demanding new operations using GNSS as enabler.Curved approaches with RF prior to FAP and final transition to LPV.Operators have to be equipped with SBAS capability.ANSPs and Airports have to implement these operations.EC/GSA is supporting these activities (Sherpa, ACCEPTA, ).FilGAPP Project will demonstrate the benefits provided by these advanced operations through different flight trials.In Spain: Valencia and PamplonaIn Germany.
