Non-precision approaches
71. At aerodromes used by international general
aviation only, potential use of navigations aid(s) already
required for other purposes should be considered to support
instrument approach procedures at these aerodromes.
72. Approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV)
may allow for a more safe and efficient operation.
Moreover, they may provide an opportunity for the
progressive rationalization of NDBs and VORs, while
ensuring the provision of necessary backup. The impact of
any reduction in the ground based navigation infrastructure,
due to its replacement by new technology (e.g. GNSS), on
the requirement for airborne equipment should be the
subject of early assessment during the planning process.
Precision approaches
73. The ICAO EUR Strategy for the planning of All
Weather Operations, based on the Global Strategy
(paragraph 4 of Attachment B to Annex 10, Volume I
refers), is to:
a) continue ILS operations to the highest level of
service as long as operationally acceptable and
economically beneficial;
b) implement MLS where operationally required and
economically beneficial;
c) promote the use of MMR (Multi Mode Receiver)
or equivalent airborne capability to maintain aircraft
interoperability;
d) validate the use of GNSS, with such augmentations
as required, to support approach and departure operations,
including CAT I operations, and implement GNSS for such
operations as appropriate; and
e) complete feasibility studies for CAT II and III
operations, based on GNSS technology, with such
augmentations as required. If feasible, implement GNSS for
CAT II and III operations where operationally acceptable
and economically beneficial.
74. On the basis of the above ICAO EUR Strategy for
the planning of all weather operations, recognizing the need
for consultation among all parties concerned, (e.g. States,
aerodrome authorities, aircraft operators) as well as to
monitor the evolution of the Transition Key Issues (TKIs),
a Road Map for All Weather Operations in the EUR Region
(EUR Doc 017) has been developed and should be used as
the basis for the planning of all weather operations at
international aerodromes in the European Region.
75. The Road Map for All Weather Operations in the
EUR Region is kept under permanent review by the
EANPG and should be used as the basis for the
development and updating of the Air Navigation Plan
and/or Regional Supplementary Procedures (SUPPS)
necessary for the planning and implementation of all
weather operations at international aerodromes in the
European Region.
76. The agreed level of service (i.e. non-precision,
precision CAT I, etc.) is reflected in Table AOP of Part III
of the EUR FASID, while the agreed technical plan for ILS,
MLS and GNSS implementation and decommissioning is
reflected in Supplement Table CNS-4b to Part IV of the
EUR FASID.
OPERATIONS
General
77. Where noise abatement methods are applied to
aircraft while on approach to land, the low power approach
technique should be utilized, provided that the necessary
facilities and services are available at the aerodrome
concerned. These comprise:
a) the availability of positive glide path information on the
landing runway;
b) the use of ATC TMA procedures compatible with the
low power approach technique;
c) the provision of significant range information along the
approach path (distance from touchdown).
Note 1.— Such range information could be provided by
different means, such as radar, DME or appropriate
airborne navigation equipment.
Note 2.— Guidance material on low power approach
techniques for noise abatement purposes is contained in
Attachment B to Part III — AOP of the EUR FASID.
