Macao Approach

PBN is a framework for defining performancerequirements for aircraft operating along an airroute, on an instrument approach or in a designatedairspace.

PBN Implementation - Macao Approach

Through the application of Area Navigation (RNAV)and Required Navigation Performance (RNP)specifications, PBN provides a basis for the designand implementation of automated, optimized andenvironmental friendly flight paths as well as anenabler for efficient airspace design and refinedprotection against terrain.

What is RNAV?

Area navigation (RNAV) is a method of instrumentflight rules (IFR) navigation that allows an aircraftto choose any course within a network ofnavigation beacons, rather than navigating directlyto and from the beacons. This can conserve flightdistance, reduce congestion, and allow flights intoairports without beacons.

What is RNP?

Required navigation performance (RNP) is a type ofperformance-based navigation (PBN) that allows anaircraft to fly a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space.

RNAV & RNP

RNAV and RNP systems are fundamentally similar.

The key difference between RNAV and RNP is therequirement for on-board performance monitoringand alerting.

ICAO Assembly Resolution

(A36‐23)

The 36th Session of the ICAO Assembly adopted aResolution (A36‐23) to resolve that States andPlanning and Implementation Regional Groups(PIRGs) should have in place a PBN implementationplan by 2009 to achieve :

1) implementation of RNAV and RNP operations (whererequired) for en‐route and terminal areas according toestablished timelines and intermediate milestones; and

...

2) implementation of approach procedures with verticalguidance (APV) (through barometric vertical navigation(Baro‐VNAV) and/or augmented Global NavigationSatellite System (GNSS)) for all instrument runway ends,either as the primary approach or as a back‐up forprecision approach by 2016 with intermediate milestonesas follows: 30% by 2010, 70% by 2014.

The 37th Session of the ICAO Assembly adopted aResolution (A37-11) to resolve that States complete aPBN implementation plan as a matter of urgency toachieve:

1) implementation of RNAV and RNP operations (whererequired) for en route and terminal areas according toestablished timelines and intermediate milestones;

2) implementation of approach procedures with verticalguidance (APV) (Baro-VNAV and/or augmented GNSS),including LNAV-only minima, for all instrument runwayends, either as the primary approach or as a back-up forprecision approach by 2016 with intermediatemilestones as follows: 30 per cent by 2010, 70 per centby 2014; and

3) implementation of straight-in LNAV-only procedures,as an exception to 2) above, for instrument runways ataerodromes where there is no local altimeter settingavailable and where there are no aircraft suitablyequipped for APV operations with a maximumcertificated take-off mass of 5 700 kg or more.

Regional Cooperation

APAC PBN Task Force

to harmonize the Regional PBN Implementation inAPAC, Macao has participated in the Task Forcemeeting since early 2010.

ICAO Flight Procedure Programme (FPP) Office

act as active participant: Macao has supported theAPAC FPP Office since Mar 2010.

3 collegues from Macao were trained in the proceduredesign course.

PBN Procedure Team

On 01 Jun 2012, Macao International Airport PBNProcedures Team was set up.

The members of the team consisted of:

5 members from AACM

(ATC, AIS, Airworthiness & Flight Standards)

1 member from CAM

2 members from ADA (ATC)

2 members from Air Macau

(Flight OPS and Airworthiness)

PBN Procedure Design Process

The PBN procedure design task was undertaken byCAM.

The MIA PBN flight procedures design projectbetween ADA and Shanghai CAAC New Era AirportDesign & Research Institute Co. Ltd was signed on26 Sep 2012.

AACM, CAM, ADA, Air Macau, ATMB Guangzhou,CAAC Middle and Southern RegionalAdministration and New Era used A320 simulator atZhuhai Flight Training Center to validate the PBNprocedures on 05 Jan 2013.


Flight crew from AirMacau conducted theflight simulation.

On 07 and 08 Mar 2013, the on-site flight validationwas performed by the CAAC FIC Flight Check Team.

The waypoints and subsequent segments of MIAPBN Procedures meet fly ability, safety, minimumstabilization distance and accuracy requirement.

On 16 May 2013, the final assessmentmeeting was held in Zhuhai betweenAACM, CAM, ADA, Air Macau, HKCAD, ATMB Guangzhou, CAAC Middleand Southern RegionalAdministration and New Era.

The final report, verification processand contents have been discussed.The meeting adopted the said report.

In consideration that some air operators mighthave practical problems in obtaining the Basic-RNP1 approval for their fleet before the aforesaideffective date, the conventional flight proceduresusing ground-based Navaids at MIA will be retainedfor a considerable period of time.

The conventional flight procedures transiting HongKong FIR are planned to be removed in one yearafter the post implementation review.

Challenge for PBN

Implementation in Macao

There is a need to harmonize the Macao ATZ, HongKong FIR and Guangzhou FIR implementation planand operation issues.

Private aircraft operators and foreign airlineoperators might have practical problems inobtaining the Basic-RNP1 approval for their fleet.
