PANS-OPS CERTIFICATION
DESIGN CRITERIA STANDARD OF AIRCRAFT
RNAV SYSTEM
In ECAC, two RNAV standards exist:
.
Basic RNAV (B-RNAV) which was introduced into the upper airspace of ECAC in 1998; and
.
Precision RNAV (P-RNAV) for use in Terminal Airspace.
Note: With effect from ± 2010, RNP RNAV is likely to be the applied in Terminal Airspace.
For both B-RNAV and P-RNAV, this coherency referred to previously between the navigation infrastructure, PANS-OPS design criteria and the certification standard of the aircraft’s RNAV system is required. Thus different obstacle clearance criteria (PANS-OPS) apply for B-RNAV compared to P-RNAV, different certification standards exist for B-RNAV and P-RNAV, and the navigation sensors (which relate to the navigation infrastructure) that can be used for B-RNAV and P-RNAV are not necessarily the same (though similar.

The main differences between any RNAV type and another concerns:
. RNAV Systems Description
(E.g. a database needed; positioning sensors to be used etc)
.
Airworthiness Certification Objectives:
Described in terms of accuracy, Integrity & Continuity of service
.
Functional Criteria:
(Required; Recommended)
.
(Area of application: where it can be used…and how)
The differences for RNAV System Descriptions are identified in the following table:
B-RNAV P-RNAV RNP (x) RNAV*
Accuracy 5 NM Lateral 1 NM Lateral (x) NM Lateral and Longitudinal
Integrity Low Medium High
Continuity of Function - Loss = Remote Loss = Extremely Remote
* According to MASPS DO236-B
The increasing level of sophistication of the RNAV System (B-RNAV < P-RNAV < RNP(x) RNAV) results in a proportional increase on the Requirements for respectively the RNAV Systems, Accuracy/Integrity/Continuity and Required Functionalities.
The main differences in what is required and what is recommended for Functional Criteria between any RNAV type and another are identified in the following table:
B-RNAV P-RNAV RNP (x) RNAV*
Required 4 Way point storage (manual data entry; Display of distance/bearing to Way-point) NAV Data Base; Data Integrity; leg types (e.g. TF; CF; FA) NAV Data Base; Integrity (RNP alerting); leg types (e.g. RF; FRT)// Off-set
Recommended // Off-set
* According to MASPS DO236-B
