با توجه به اینکه موضوع PBN برای خودم مبهم بود ، تصمیم گرفتم ای پست را برای ارائه آنچه که در مورد PBN بدست آورده ام ، اختصاص دهم


در ابتدا ترجمه بخش هایی از سایت ویکی پدیا در مورد PBN :

ICAO performance-based navigation (PBN) specifies that aircraft required navigation performance (RNP) and area navigation (RNAV) systems performance requirements be defined in terms of

 accuracy,

 integrity, 

availability, 

continuity, 

and functionality 


required for the proposed operations in the context of a particular airspace, when supported by the appropriate navigation infrastructure.[1]


Historically, aircraft navigation specifications have been specified directly in terms of sensors (navigation beaconsand/or waypoints). 

تا کنون ناوبری بر اساس عملکرد سنسورها بوده است.یعنی Beacon  ها و waypoint ها


A navigation specification that includes an additional requirement for on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting is referred to as a required navigation performance (RNP) specification.

تعریفی از  RNP 

 مشخصه بارز آن این است که به تجهیزات اضافی نیازمند می باشد.



 One not having such requirements is referred to as an area navigation (RNAV) specification.

حال به سیستمی که به تجهیزات اضافی نیاز نداشته باشد ،در حوزه RNAV  خواهد بود.



Performance requirements are identified in navigation specifications,


which also identify the choice of navigation sensors and equipment that may be used to meet the performance requirements. 



The navigation specifications provide specific implementation guidance in order to facilitate global harmonisation.



Under PBN, generic navigation requirements are first defined based on the operational requirements. 


Civil aviation authorities then evaluate options in respect of available technology and navigation services. 

مراجع صلاحیت دار مانند سازمان هواپیمایی کشوری ، گزینه ها را مورد ارزیابی می نمایند ، با توجه به تکنولوژی و سرویس های ناوبری 


A chosen solution would be the most cost-effective for the civil aviation authority, as opposed to a solution being established as part of the operational requirements. 

راه حل انتخاب شده ، مقرون به صرفه ترین خواهد بود زیرا ...


Technology can evolve over time without requiring the operation itself to be revisited as long as the requisite performance is provided by the RNAV or RNP system.


requisite : لازم است



PBN offers a number of advantages over

 the sensor-specific method of developing airspace and

 obstacle clearance criteria:


مزایای PBN :

1- reduces the need to maintain sensor-specific routes and procedures, and their costs. 

  • کاهش نیاز به تعمیرات و هزینه های این کار.

  1. برای مثال با حذف VOR چند مورد از نیازمندی های مربوط به تعمیر و نگهداری VOR از بین می رود. در روت ها ، در اپروچ و ...


  •  Adding new sensor-specific procedures would compound this cost, and the rapid growth in available navigation systems would soon make sensor-specific routes and procedures unaffordable;
  • unaffordable : مقرون به صرفه نبودن

2- avoids the need for developing sensor-specific operations with each new evolution of navigation systems, which would be cost-prohibitive. 
عدم نیاز به توسعه عملیات های مبتنی بر سنسور با رشد و تولد نسل جدید سیستم های ناوبری که باعث صرفه جویی در  هزینه ها می گردد.


The expansion of satellite navigation services is expected to contribute to the continued diversity of RNP and RNAV systems in different aircraft.


The original basic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) equipment is evolving due to the development of augmentations such as 

سیستم ناوبری جهانی مبتنی بر ماهواره در حال تکامل است زیرا موارد زیر در حال توسعه می باشند :


while the introduction of Galileo and the modernisation of the 

همچنین توسعه تدریجی دو مورد زیر باعث رشد بیشتر GNSS خواهد شد :

Global Positioning System (GPS) and the 
Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) will further improve GNSS performance. 

The use of GNSS/inertial integration is also expanding;



3- allows for more efficient use of airspace 
(route placement, fuel efficiency and noise mitigation);
clarifies how RNAV systems are used; and
facilitates the operational approval process for civil aviation authorities by providing a limited set of navigation specifications intended for global use.

Within an airspace, PBN requirements will be affected by the 
communication, 
surveillance and 
air traffic control(ATC) environments, the 
navaid infrastructure and 
functional and operational capability needed to meet the ATM application. 


PBN performance requirements also depend on what reversion, non-RNAV means of navigation are available and what degree of redundancy is required to ensure adequate continuity of operations.

To achieve the efficiency and capacity gains partially enabled by RNAV and RNP, the FAA will pursue use of data communications and enhanced surveillance functionality.[2]




Impact   On     Airspace    Planning

When separation minima and route spacing are determined using a conventional sensor-based approach, the navigation performance data used to determine the separation minima or route spacing depend on the accuracy of the raw data from specific navigation aids such as VOR, DME or NDB.



 In contrast, PBN requires an RNAV system that integrates raw navigation data to provide a positioning and navigation solution.


 In determining separation minima and route spacing, this integrated navigation performance "output" is used.



The navigation performance required from the RNAV system is part of the navigation specification. 


To determine separation minima and route spacing, airspace planners fully exploit that part of the navigation specification which describes the performance required from the RNAV system.


 Airspace planners also make use of the required performance 

(accuracy, 

integrity, 

availability and 

continuity) 

to determine route spacing and separation minima.


In procedurally controlled airspace, separation minima and route spacing on RNP specifications are expected to provide a greater benefit than those based on RNAV specifications.


This is because the

on-board performance monitoring and 

alerting function 

could alleviate the absence of ATS surveillance service by 

providing an alternative means of risk mitigation.
