Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) & Flight Inspection Training

Advanced Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Operations (PANS-OPS) using RNAV/GNSS/PBN/RNP - Course 15320002

DESCRIPTION

An advanced program for instrument approach procedure design and promulgation focusing on advanced navigation methods. Includes: Area Navigation (RNAV), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Augmented GNSS, vertical navigation (VNAV), RNAV/GNSS/RNP departures, an introduction to performance based navigation (PBN) as applied to required navigation performance (RNP) and flight validation principles. The program covers recent amendments to criteria, proposed amendments and technical operation of systems.

OBJECTIVES

Using references the participants will be able to demonstrate:
  • Knowledge of ICAO criteria applicable to RNAV based procedure design and promulgation
  • Knowledge of ICAO criteria applicable to GNSS based procedure design and promulgation
  • Application of criteria to the design of RNAV approaches
  • Application of criteria to the design of GNSS approaches
  • Application of criteria to the design of VNAV approaches
  • Application of criteria to the design of augmented GNSS approaches
  • Application of criteria to the design of RNAV/GNSS/RNP departures
  • Knowledge of ICAO criteria and general principles applicable to RNP and RNP-AR procedure design and promulgation
WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The course is primarily directed to persons with prior training/experience in PANS-OPS based procedure design and to fill training needs for persons who will be involved in the design or evaluation of RNAV/GNSS/PBN based procedures. The course would be of significant benefit to persons managing organizations under which procedures are designed and promulgated, pilots - particularly those involved in flight inspection, and persons in related fields such as airport design, air traffic, charting, aircraft operation and other related disciplines.

Prerequisites: FAA Course 15310001, Basic ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Operations (PANS-OPS) or FAA Course 15570, Basic ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Operations (PANS-OPS). Equivalent training from other sources is acceptable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Students are highly encouraged to bring a laptop computer to the course. Electronic copies of relevant documents and reference material will be provided to each student.
