Dear Colleagues in aviation community
As we are already aware, PBN implementation is one of the highest priorities in the Global Air Navigation Plan and in the Asia/Pacific Seamless ATM Plan. The overall implementation of PBN in the APAC region is progressing but at a slow rate. In terms of PBN safety assessment, which is required before the PBN implementation, some States are still facing some difficulties due to the lack of guidelines or relevant experience. In this regard, ICAO is going to hold a PBN Safety Assessment Workshop at the ICAO Asia and Pacific Regional Sub Office (RSO) in Beijing China from 16 to 18 October 2018.
Objectives of the workshop:
· to introduce available global and regional guidance materials which can be used for the PBN safety assessment; and
· to share experiences and best practices with the States.
Target audience of the workshop:
· regulators, safety managers, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), air traffic controllers, procedure designers, and pertinent stakeholders
The workshop will be divided into 3 sessions tentatively. Main contents are:
Session 1 (Day 1): Introduction to PBN safety assessment
