ICAO All Weather Operations Panel Evaluation of New Technologies For Approach, Landing and Departure Phases of Flight

Rick Cassell

Abstract:	This paper presents a summary of an evaluation recently completed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) All Weather Operations Panel (AWOP) of the application of new technologies to the approach, landing, and departure phases of flight. The purpose of this effort was to evaluate the capabilities of new and emerging technologies to these phases of flight. The primary technology evaluated was GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), specifically being comprised of GPS and GLONASS. Other technologies evaluated were head-up displays, enhanced vision, synthetic vision, and inertial guidance systems. In order to provide a framework for the evaluation, the two existing technologies used for precision approach and landing (ILS and MLS) were also included. The basis for assessing each architecture was the provisional Required Navigation Performance (RNP) requirements developed separately by AWOP. These specify the accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability required for each phase of flight (Non-precision Ap- proach; Curved Approach; Category I, II, and III Ap- proaches; Straight and Curved Departure).
