Abstract

The CNS/ATM concept envisages reliance on global satellite navigation systems to underpin future air traffic management that is able to cope with the ever-increasing demand for air travel without jeopardising safety and the environment. In order to benefit from GNSS, it is crucial that the navigation performance required of air navigation systems is derived and agreed, based on sound principles. Significant work has been undertaken to date and agreement reached on the navigation requirements for the phases of flight up to Category I (CAT-I) precision approach, and proposals are under discussion for CAT-III precision approach. This paper completes a typical flight profile by addressing airport surface movement, and proposing the requirements based on operational requirements for each airport category, to support operations in zero visibility conditions. The benefits of the approach taken in the derivation of the requirements are discussed relative to the existing navigation requirements.
