Simon Allotey, said the Performance-Based Navigation concept affords significant benefits including improved safety through more straight-in instrument approaches with vertical guidance, increased airspace capacity, increased airport accessibility, more efficient operations, reduced infrastructure costs and reduced environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the application of CCO and CDO leads to environmental benefits in the terminal area including less noise pollution and reduction in fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome African States have developed PBN procedures and implemented CCO\/CDO at various levels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He urged that beyond developing and publishing PBN procedures, airspace users must fly the procedures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll aircraft flying in the African Airspace should have PBN compliant avionics to enable all operators derive the full benefit of PBN,\u201d he noted, adding that \u201cCAAs should also build confidence in operators to fly RNAV and RNP approaches to progressively reduce reliance on traditional ground-based navigation systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Melvin Tarlue<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major stakeholders within the aviation sector in Africa and the Indian Ocean have converged on Accra for a four-day workshop.
