Performance-based navigation
Videos
In aviation, performance-based navigation is a specification issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization. In PBN, aircraft required navigation performance and area navigation systems perfo
The two upper chart strips show the current norm. The two strips below reflect the same two approaches only with the correct RNP-designation. "RNAV (GNSS)" becomes "RNP", and "RNAV (RNP)" becomes "RNP AR". Sweden is one example of a member state who has already adopted the new correct RNP-designation for the PBN implementation.
Distance measuring equipment

In aviation, distance measuring equipment is a radio navigation technology that measures the slant range between an aircraft and a ground station by timing the propagation delay of radio signals in th
Performance-based navigation
…performance data used to determine the separation minima or route spacing depend on the accuracy of the raw data from specific navigation aids such as VOR, DME or NDB. In contrast, PBN requires an RNAV system that integrates raw navigation data to provide a positioning and navigation solution. In determining…
