GNSS for Aviation

Normal course duration: 1 day

This course provides participants with an overview of GNSS, the Global Navigation Satellite System, its principles and benefits for civil aviation. The course starts from the basics of how GNSS receivers work to develop a position solution and then advances to look at the current performance and limitations of satellite systems as well as reviewing GNSS vulnerabilities and complementary techniques.

RNAV in Europe

Normal course duration: 1 day

This course covers all of the major developments in European RNAV development. This includes the status of P-RNAV and RNAV approach implementations, and the planned developments in the context of the European navigation strategy. The course describes the status of new systems/concepts that are being developed, such as the point-merge concept and future advanced tool support. The course explains how the new ICAO PBN concept will be reflected in European work, and it describes the status of European regulatory change that will affect RNAV in Europe.

Performance Based Navigation (PBN)

Normal course duration: 2 days

This course introduces the concepts of Performance Based Navigation. It explores the processes involved in implementing PBN and explains, in detail, the content and use of the navigation specifications. The different PBN approaches and their related criteria are considered together with the need for aeronautical data integrity. Worked examples are used to aid comprehension.
