SBAS-FMS Ensures Compliance With Objectives Contained In JAA TGL10
Universal Avionics’ Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)-Flight Management Systems (FMS) ensure compliance with the Precision-Area Navigation (P-RNAV) requirements set out in JAA Temporary Guidance Leaflet 10 (TGL10). Operators not approved for P-RNAV operations are finding access into European airports increasingly limited. The benefits of Area Navigation (RNAV) include shorter, more direct routes and more precise navigational accuracy in the terminal and approach airspace.
In Terminal Airspace where RNAV procedures have been introduced, the application of conventional procedures and radar vectoring by Air Traffic Service Providers to accommodate non-P-RNAV approved flights negatively affect airport capacity and increase delays. Therefore, many European States have placed restrictions on aircraft that aren't fully compliant with P-RNAV standards. Amsterdam Shiphol Airport was the first airport in Europe to only allow such aircraft. Other airports that have since followed include London Heathrow, Gatwick, Zürich, Vienna International, Stockholm-Arlanda, Brussels, Malpensa, Nice Côte d’Azur, Faro and many more.
Universal Avionics’ SBAS-FMS is compatible with regional SBAS systems in Europe (EGNOS), North America (WAAS), Japan (MSAS) and India (GAGAN). It is designed in compliance with RTCA DO-229 to meet current standards and emerging technology in satellite-based navigation.
