Performance-Based Navigation Flight Path Analysis Using Fast-Time Simulation

The growing demand for air transportation has led to an increase in worldwide air traffic inefficiency due to capacity constraints. The impacts associated with this situation can be reduced through operational changes. To better handle the problem, the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) and th...

description The growing demand for air transportation has led to an increase in worldwide air traffic inefficiency due to capacity constraints.

The Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approaches belong to the group of PBN procedures.
