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

6

“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

Regional aerodromes treated differently

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

| Airways PBN

9

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

| Airways PBN

11

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)
