GUIDELINES & REFERENCE MATERIAL FOR
Collaborative decision by Users & ANSP to identify need for P-RNAV implementation. P-RNAV IMPLEMENTATION
Consider -
ª Benefits of Terminal Airspace optimisation using P-RNAV e.g. ATC Workload reduction, fuel A. ECIP NAV.03
reduction, ACFT equipage cost (Cost benefit analysis)
ª Viability of phased implementation to ease transition from operational perspective B. EUROCONTROL: REVISED SPECIMEN AIC : OPERATION OF
ª Associated ATC Procedures required to reap benefits. PRECISION RNAV (P-RNAV) AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT IN ECAC
ª Impact of P-RNAV / Conventional Nav. Mix on ATC and Operators (e.g. Effects on operators TERMINAL AIRSPACE [Pending]
not P-RNAV approved)
ª Nav infrastructure requirements & associated RNAV flight checking C. STANDARDISED SPECIMEN AIP TEXT (TO BE PREPARED BY
ª PANS-OPS Procedure design: limitations & opportunities (e.g. Training of designers) EUROCONTROL)
Decision & Action -
ª Time scales for all actions associated with P-RNAV implementation
ª Notification of intent by operators to implement P-RNAV
( These items may only be of relevance to States regularizing their RNAV applications by
implementing P-RNAV)
ª Evaluation Phase (Qualitative Analysis)

NAV infrastructure availability & coverage] .
