Implementation Methodology
One of the main objectives of P-RNAV introduction is to achieve an ECAC wide consistent design and operation of RNAV in Terminal Airspace. To this end, Terminal Airspace procedures that require P-RNAV approval will have been designed by the Air Navigation Service providers according to a common methodology. This common methodology is outlined below. It also includes the reference documentation that is applied in the various design and implementation steps.

-
Benefits of Terminal Airspace optimisation using P-RNAV e.g. ATC Workload reduction, fuel reduction, ACFT equipage cost (Cost benefit analysis)
-
Viability of phased implementation to ease transition fromoperational perspective
-
Associated ATC Procedures required to reap benefits.
Impact of P-RNAV / Conventional Nav. Mix on ATC and Operators (e.g. Effects on operators not P-RNAV approved)
-
Nav infrastructure requirements & associated RNAV flight checking
-
PANS-OPS Procedure design: limitations & opportunities (e.g. Training of designers)
Decision & Action -

|
|
|
|
|
Evaluation Phase (Qualitative Analysis)
-
Proposed P-RNAV route placement [subject to NAV infrastructure availability & coverage]
-
Consider P-RNAV procedure design (PANS-OPS)
-
Re-design of Terminal Airspace volume, if required
-
Re-design of ATC sectorisation, if required
Quantitative Analysis
-
ATM safety case to assess acceptability of proposed routeing and airspace changes; incl FTS/RTS as required.
-
If acceptable, continue with PANS-OPS procedure design for P-RNAV certified aircraft
