Background
AVIATION GROWTH
The continuing growth of aviation industries increase demands on
airspace capacity emphasizing the need for optimum utilization
of available airspace and Improved operational efficiency.
In line with the ICAO Regional PBN Implementation Plan, Indonesia has developed the
PBN implementation plan consist of 3 phased approach; short-term (2009-2012), medium-
term (2013-2016) and long-term (beyond 2016).
The PBN based IAPs will be designed both for busy major airports as well as remote
airports/airfield where air navigation facility is not sufficiently provided (due to geographical
condition) and poor weather conditions are frequent.
The DGCA has already had plan to expand the area for entire Indonesian airspace.
Currently around 12 airports has been published PBN procedure and will continue to
increase to take full benefits of PBN.
Conventional Navigation :
• Aircraft Position Determined by Radio Aids
• Airways connecting by ground based Nav Aids
• Concentration of aircraft over beacon/NavAid to NavAid
• Inefficient/Longer distance
Area Navigation :
• Aircraft Position determined from many Radios/Nav Aids
• Waypoints defined by Coordinate
• Direct routing possible/shorter distance
• More flexible routing and capacity

FMS POSITION
NAVAID During flight, the FMS uses its last know
Infrastructure position and on-board navigation
database to determine local NavAids that
will provide the next best position FIX.
The FMS then tunes the Nav Radios and
calculates a position for those selected
Navigation NavAids.
Specifications
At the same time the FMS receives a
position from the GPS.
The FMS uses a sophisticated linear quadratic estimation, commonly called a Kalman
Filter, to “blend” all “active” sensor data to determine the most likely FMS position.
Navigation
Applications Using a blended position allows the FMS to use multiple position sources and provides a
system checks and balances to validate and alert the flight crew if position error is
suspected.

PBN Terminology
Area Navigation is the generic term used for area navigation and is never abbreviated.
RNAV is used only in reference to RNAV specifications.
RNP is used only in reference to RNP specifications.

Procedure Waypoints
A waypoint is defined as a geographic coordinate, identified by:
5 letter unique name code, e.g. GAPRI,
3 letter ICAO code if located with a ground NavAid and named by the identifier for that station, e.g. IMU
Approach waypoint only by an alphanumeric name code, e.g. RR403.
FLY OVER Aircraft must fly over the point prior to starting a turn.
For En-route operations most waypoints are treated as 'fly-by'
although some navigation specifications may allow the option of
flying over the point.
RF
ARC CENTER
Encoded into the navigation database, allow the aircraft to
avoid terrain or conflicting airspace.
Different Aircraft will flying the same constant radius turn.
FIX RADIUS
The aircraft commences the turn at a defined point and
TRANSITION
then automatically adjusts the Bank Angle to maintain a
constant radius from a specified point.
Used in the en-route phase of flight, will have a defined turn

General Operator Responsibilities
To comply with PBN operations, Air Operator need to obtain Operational Approval
Operational Approval
New production aircraft have airworthiness approvals identified in the AFM and / or OEM
Service Letter.
Airworthiness approval is usually straightforward.
Legacy aircraft require more detailed analysis.
Compliance with requirements may require detailed certification activity.
Tier 3+ aircraft modification configuration can be a problem.
Some approvals are addressed by OEM Service Bulletin.
Database Management
The PBN Manual requires operators to use current databases.
Operators should have processes for managing navigation databases to ensure aircraft are always using
current data.
Database Integrity
The PBN Manual requires navigation data to be obtained from sources that meet the regulatory requirements.
Operators should carry out validity checks on data and must report any defects found.
Critical data e.g. RNP AR APCH should be checked against a standard before each cycle is released for
fleet use.

5 RAIM PREDICTION
For expected RNP AR APCH procedure, RAIM Prediction at the intended time of
approach shall be check, this is done trough RAIM Prediction tools service provider.

aided)
TSO C129 TSO C145/146 TSO C129 TSO C145/146
No outages No outages No outages No outages
If predicated RAIM loss (outage) for more than 5 minutes for any part of the intended
flight the FPL should be amended (retiming)
For RNP AR (Authorization Required) Approach, the specification states that a single failure of a
required element should not result in a loss of guidance. This means there is a requirement for dual 63
systems such as GNSS receiver, FMS, Air Data and Autopilot to be carried

procedure from the navigation database.

When completing a flight plan for a flight which is intended to include operations in PBN
airspace:
a) No special information needs to be included
b) Block 18 must contain all PBN capabilities of the aircraft, regardless of the intended operation
c) Block 18 contains information on the aircraft PBN capabilities relevant to the flight, and is
limited to 8 entries
When considering a notified RAIM outage that affects a planned flight, which of the
following is correct;
a) Any RAIM outage requires a re-planning of the flight
b) A RAIM outage is acceptable as long as contingency procedures are in place
c) A RAIM outage of more than 5 minutes will require a re-routing or re-timing of the flight
When operating in PBN airspace, if a system failure results in a loss of PBN capability:
a) ATC must be notified using the phrase “Unable RNP due…”
b) It is permissible to continue without notifying ATC as they are responsible for navigation
c) The pilot must declare an emergency
1 TAKE OFF
Verify correct system operation, correct airport and runway data
Updating of the actual departure point must be guaranteed either by manual or
automatic initialization on the runway, to avoid position shift after take-off (even with
GPS active)
B737 CL and NG have automatic position update when TOGA is pressed, pay attention
to insert correct intersection “take-off shift” on CDU T/O page
5 PROCEDURE MODIFICATION
Procedure modifications in the SID/STAR may take the form of Radar Headings or
“Direct to” by ATC Request and the flight crew must react promptly.
Modification of Altitude and Speed Restriction is NOT ALOWED unless approved by ATC.
Why must a SID or STAR be selected by name from the database rather than created
manually by insertion of the waypoints?
a) The waypoints in the SID/STAR are not the same as those stored individually
b) The database coding of the procedure includes additional information such as the RNP value
for alerting
c) The aircraft will not correctly fly from one point to another if the waypoints are manually
inserted
What modifications are allowed to a SID or STAR once it has been selected from the
database?
a) Direct to.. Actions may be performed, at the request of ATC
b) A waypoint may be changed from flyby to flyover, at the pilots discretion
c) Manually created waypoints may be used to enhance the aircraft performance on the
selected SID or STAR

Contingency procedures are developed to address Cautions and Warnings for following conditions
3 ALERT MESSAGE
If the following alert messages are displayed, check navigation accuracy with NavAid
raw data, or with the GPS Monitor page (if GPS installed):
• VERIFY POSITION
• IRS NAV ONLY
• GPS L (or R) INVALID
• UNABLE REQD NAV PERF-RNP
• VERIFY RNP
If the accuracy check confirms that RNP is lost, or if all installed FMC’s failed: inform
ATC and revert to conventional navigation
If the accuracy check confirms that only one FMC position is incorrect, resume
navigation with the other system.
For RNP APCH approaches using Baro-VNAV, the temperature published on the chart
a) Is the recommended minimum temperature for operations and is advisory only
b) Is the minimum temperature at which use of the procedure is authorized
c) Represents the assumed temperature used in the design process
Vertical deviation is displayed to the pilot using a deviation scale. These scales
a) Will be calibrated such that full scale deflection represents the maximum allowed deviation from
the vertical path
b) are for information only and do not require monitoring
c) Are not consistent between aircraft types. They correct interpretation of the scale must be
understood before operating a vertically guided appro
Example:
If the RNAV SID or STAR is not in the FMC database, the phraseology would be:
3 When the ATC FLIGHT PLAN indicates that the aircraft is not
RNAV for reasons of onboard equipment , ATC shall inform
the pilot by issue of following phrase:
