Objective
The course aimed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to plan and improve operational efficiency and airspace capacity using PBN standards. It covered the principles of RNAV, RNP, and the Lateral Separation Point (LSP) concept, ensuring participants understood PBN performance requirements in terms of accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability. Upon completion, participants were expected to independently design LSPs using VOR or GNSS points and conduct SASP safety assessments for each LSP developed.
