UPDATE OnGNSSAviationOperations InAustralia
<strong>GPS</strong>Excellent and improving service– Thank you USAF!!!Since 1995 no system issues– Primary Means <strong>GPS</strong> in 1995Issues– SPS – please update to real performance!– Some minor NANU ErrorsLeads to RAIM prediction errorsSome States still have concerns with <strong>GPS</strong>– Lack of Knowledge of ICAO (<strong>GPS</strong>) StatusMore education needed
BASIC GNSS OFFERSMANY BENEFITSStandards in PlaceCheap and simpleDisaster immuneLittle Implementation in RegionWhy?
Very high user expectations due to excellent performanceReduction to SPS level would totally undermine user confidence<strong>GPS</strong> Constellation Management Critical
BackgroundEarly decision – 1991– Lack of ground based infrastructure– Move to user pays funded systemNo Government support other than for regulationAcceptance of US TSO C129 receiverMove to GNSS navigation– 85% of all operations now use <strong>GPS</strong>– Approvals range from NVFR to RNP-AR
HISTORY 2ICAO GNSS Panel formed in 1994– ICAO Circular 267– Basis for ICAO GNSS Manual in 20032003 Navigation Systems Panel2003 ANC -11 = GNSS Transition OKICAO GNSS Manual - Doc 9849Doc 8071 – Flight Inspection & ValidationPBN Manual in 2007
GNSS Receivers
FIRST IFR <strong>GPS</strong> RECEIVERStill 10,000+ in operation
TSO C146 ReceiversIncludes VHF, VHF NAV and <strong>GPS</strong>Garmin Simulators - free download
TSO C145/6Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE)Selective Availability OFFAdvanced RAI<strong>MB</strong>etter Interference ProtectionBetter Human FactorsSBAS Capable (but not required)Available Training Aids (CD)Primary Means Design
RECEIVER DESIGNSICAO – new approvals should beC145/6 basedMMRs – multi mode receivers– Now the GNSS Sensor in Modern AirlinersIATA – “No SBAS in our aircraft”– WHY???!!!!Galileo/<strong>GPS</strong> Hybrid Receivers expected
WAAS Satellite
GARMIN G1000
NEW AIRCRAFTTSO C146 Receivers– <strong>GPS</strong>– VOR– ILSNot fitted with ADF– Includes airlines aircraftRNAV “primary means’ approval– Needs the RPS for planning
GNSS ApprovalsPrimary Means Domestic Enroute – 1995<strong>GPS</strong> Arrivals - 1995<strong>GPS</strong> Oceanic - 1998<strong>GPS</strong> Non Precision Approaches – 1998<strong>GPS</strong> in Lieu of DME<strong>GPS</strong> Separation Standards<strong>GPS</strong> Safety HeightsFANS B747, Most Airline Aircraft (Defence??!!)
GNSS APPROVALS (2)RNP 0.1 NM into Queenstown– B737-80035 extra passengersGuided departuresADS-B B 2006– 5 NM Separation Standard ApprovedPrimary Means with TSO C145/6 receiver– Equivalent to VOR or NDBRAIM Predictions Systems– 1998 Airservices Australia system – Volpe US DoT– 2006 – with C145/6 and FDE
<strong>GPS</strong> ENROUTEApproved in 1995– Primary Means– Single TSO C129 ReceiverWith Baro-Aiding– Domestic FIR– 1% immediate fuel saving– Used by practically all IFR operators12 NM separation standard– 10 minutes of non RAIM ops allowed– No Enroute Prediction RequiredRNAV routes using <strong>GPS</strong>Savings around $50 mil per year in 1996No reported interference in 12 yearsNo Reported RAIM losses
RNAV (GNSS)APPROACHESApproved in 1998

<strong>GPS</strong> APPROACHESICAO Pans Ops– Based on US TERPSApproved in 1998– 500+ approaches– Used by GA and airlinesBoeing 737, A320, A330– “25” times safer than circling NPARAIM prediction system on web site<strong>GPS</strong> Training Material – videos, slides etc

INTERFERENCENo reported IFR interferenceInstallation Interference– 99%+ of all reportedTSO C145/6 receivers far better in testingDoD Trials– Need to be closely managed and monitoredJammers banned in AustraliaStrong Frequency Protection – ACAWill need isolation in busy environment
ACCIDENTSThree “RNAV (GNSS) Accidents”– Reports on www.atsb.<strong>gov</strong>.au– Two were ‘piloting’ errors– One unresolved – 11km offset in positionPossible Antenna Error???ATSB Survey of Pilot Attitudes to RNAV (GNSS)– Waypoint naming– Level of difficulty ‘second to NDB’Orientation, Step Down Fixes, Receiver Use– Value of APV Approaches
SUMMARYWGS-84 EssentialBasic GNSS provides high returns– Enroute RNAV– RNAV (GNSS) ApproachesAPV is ICAO preference– RNP APV is available now!Ensure ICAO RNP Manual is usedNew Approvals Should be based on TSO C145/6RNP +ADS-B B = Airspace Heaven!!!
B737-800
SafetyRNP BENEFITS– Runway aligned DA – almost anywhere– Lateral & vertical guided approaches– CFIT risks reduced– Use of automatics– Engine INOP solutionsOperations– Departure uplift+35 additional passengers!– Significantly Lower Minima (-1100’)(– Great cost benefit outcomeEfficiency – saves some 2-3002kg fuel per flightEnvironment – reduced noise footprint

Sydney GLS
GLS STATUSFAA have reverted to “R&D” status– Due design issues– FAA certification “early 2009”Aircraft OEMs – GLS Receivers certified– B737-800, A380 etc– No certified ground systemsQantas/Sydney <strong>GPS</strong> installation
A380 USED GLS INTO SYDNEY

ICAO APV DECISIONICAO CFIT Study – now RequiredUp to 8 times safer than circling NPAVertical Guidance is the Key!!ICAO 100% APV by 2016Adopted by APANPIRG in Regional PlanBooz Cost/Benefit Study– Baro-VNAV APV First
APV TECHNOLOGIESBaro-VNAV RNPAugmented GNSS– SBAS– GBAS– GRAS(US WAAS – 900 LPVs)B738-800800Now approved to 200’/1/2 NM visibilityJapanese MSAS will be operational in IQ/2007– Visible in AustraliaGLS in Sydney – certification in early 2009Development now on holdCombined Systems– <strong>GPS</strong> + Galileo
ELECTRONIC AIS1 bit of data in 1000 is WRONG!– EC Study– Unsuitable for RNP 2– State Data have large errors– Third party providers doing quality controlMajor issue with RNP Approaches– Needed additional integrity measures to make it work safelyElectronic Flight Bag (EFB) etc now hereData Integration – eg Terrain and AIP– eTOD ICAO requirements– Large terrain errors – 2000’++Solution = Single Electronic System– AIXM as ICAO Standard = EAIPGovernment – “Regulate AIS”Current data base is required for IFR
