Introduction
ICAO performance-based navigation (PBN) specifies that aircraft-required navigation performance (RNP) and area navigation (RNAV) systems performance requirements be defined in terms of accuracy, integrity, availability, continuity, and functionality required for the proposed operations in the context of a particular airspace when supported by the appropriate navigation infrastructure.
Historically, aircraft navigation specifications have been specified directly in terms of sensors (navigation beacons and/or waypoints). A navigation specification that includes an additional requirement for onboard navigation performance monitoring and alerting is referred to as a required navigation performance (RNP) specification. One not having such requirements is referred to as area navigation (RNAV) specification.
Performance requirements are identified in navigation specifications, which also identify the choice of navigation sensors and equipment that may be used to meet the performance requirements. The navigation specifications provide specific implementation guidance in order to facilitate global harmonisation.
This course focuses on the needs of the Part M Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Organisation (CAMO) Maintenance Staff and Aircraft Maintenance Organisation (AMO) Part 145. It is also appropriate for Operations Technical Staff and Quality Assurance Auditors
Who is this course for?
Regulatory Authority Members, Flight Safety Department Managers, and Inspectors with operational oversight responsibilities.Operations Accountable Managers and proposed Nominated Persons (NP) Flight OPS, Maintenance Planning (CAMO) and Maintenance OPS (145), Crew Training and Ground Ops, Compliance Monitoring Managers (Quality Managers) and Auditors, Safety Managers, Flight Safety Officers, Flight Operations Officers, and Cabin Crew Management.
