NAV03.1 — RNAV 1 in TMA Operations

—

NOTE: Where higher performance requirements than RNAV 1 are required in order to maintain air traffic capacity and safety in environments with high traffic density, traffic complexity or terrain features, SIDs or STARs shall be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the RNP 1 specification. See objective NAV 03.2 for details.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.

Deployment Programme 2019: —
Operating Environments: Terminal Airspace

Expected Performance Benefits

Safety: Increased situational awareness and indirect benefit to both ATC and pilot through reduction of workload during RNAV operations.
Capacity: -
Operational efficiency: Reduction in fuel burn through optimised routes and TMA procedures.
Cost efficiency: -
Environment: Emissions and noise nuisance reduced by use of optimal flight procedures and routings.
Security: -
