INTRODUCTION
The Information Paper presents a report on the activities of the Instrument Flight Procedure Panel, in
relation to charting, publication issues and navigation data requirements, and how this has an impact
on Annex 4, Annex 15 and related manuals.

MATERIAL DEVELOPED FOR INCLUSION IN ANNEX 4 AND 15
2.1
SBAS Charting and Publication. Document 8168 recognizes APV I/II - SBAS
Approach Procedures. For these procedures to be charted and encoded in navigation databases
intended for on-board use. There is a minimum amount of information required for publication by the
States. Specific aspects of charting SBAS procedures have been discussed.
a) SBAS procedures should be charted as RNAV (GNSS) procedures (e.g. RNAV
(GNSS) Z RWY 17L, where the trailing alpha character “Z” indicates this is the
first of multiple GNSS procedures to runway 17 L). The procedure title remains
(6 pages)
AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3

the same, “RNAV (GNSS) RWY XX”, regardless of SBAS LPV minima. This
permits a standardized ATS phraseology for all the procedure types that are
supported with SBAS;
b) SBAS procedures may be selected either with entry of a channel number or via a
menu driven process; The channel number is a five digit number that must be
regionally unique. The SBAS channel number range is from 40,000 to 99,999.
Channel number assignments are required for LPV and LP procedures.
c) In order to confirm procedure identification and selection, RPI (Reference Path
Identifier) is charted. The SBAS RPI is a three or four character field in the
SBAS FAS data block. For a WAAS procedure, the leading alpha character is
“W”. The middle two characters are numeric characters representing the runway
number. Annex 10 suggests that the leading alpha character for an EGNOS
procedure is “E”.
d) Since SBAS avionics may be used to fly different procedure types, it is necessary
to standardize how these various lines of minima are charted; LPV and LP
procedures, if they exist to the same runway, are charted separately. The separate
charting is required since the VAL in the FAS data block, the RPI and channel
numbers will be different.
2.2
Material relating SBAS Charting and Publication, developed for Annex 4, Annex 15
is presented in Appendix A.
2.3
GLS Procedure Publication. ICAO Document 8168 recognizes GBAS GLS-type
Approach Procedures. For these procedures to be adequately promulgated through charting and
encoded in navigation databases intended for on-board use there is a minimum amount of information
required for publication by the States. The minimum information to be published with a GLS
procedure has been identified and are hereafter listed:
a) Reference Path Identifier (RPI)
b) Channel Number
c) GBAS Reference Point information, to include: latitude/longitude, identifier,
service volume radius, MSL elevation, and ellipsoid height.
2.4
Material relating GLS Procedure Publication developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is
presented in Appendix A
2.5
Publication of magnetic bearings on RNAV Routes. Several ICAO Annexes and
Documents contain a dedicated Appendix outlining aeronautical data quality requirements i.e.
accuracy, resolution and integrity classification for main aviation data.
Magnetic bearing data for RNAV Routes should be classified within the ‘Bearing’ type of data and
treated as airway segment related information. Therefore, consideration was given for including
magnetic bearing in the corresponding ‘Bearing’ Table of Appendixes to Annex 4, 11, 15, applying
the same integrity, publication/charting resolution and accuracy level as determined for airway
segment (conventional) bearing. A specific explanatory text on how States should apply publication
of magnetic bearing for RNAV Route segments for addition to Annex 15 and Doc. 8126 should be
provided.
2.6
Material relating Publication of magnetic bearings on RNAV Routes developed for
Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented in attachment to this document (Appendix B).

AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3
2.7
Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) approach manoeuvring visual segments
(VS). Proposals for Annex 4 charting requirements for helicopter PinS approach procedures that
contain a maneuvering visual segment have been developed.
Inset or Continuation Sheet. For Proceed Visually procedures there will always be either a Direct VS
inset, or a Maneuvering VS inset, or a combination of the two in a single inset (if simple enough to
depict), or separate Direct and Maneuvering VS insets. Information in the insets will be charted to
scale including obstacles. If an inset is too cluttered, it can be charted on the reverse side of the chart
or continuation chart.
The minimum elements that need to be depicted in the inset include:
a) obstacles that penetrate the OIS;
b) final approach course to the MAPt
c) text for either “Proceed VFR from (MAPt)”, “Proceed Visually from (MAPt)”, or
“Maneuver Visually from MAPt”, as appropriate;
d) for “Proceed Visually” PinS procedures with a direct visual segment, the descent point
(DP), if established, and bearings and distances from MAPt to DP and from MAPt or DP to
the
heliport/landing location;
e) for “Manoeuvre Visually” PinS procedures with a maneuvering visual segment(s), the
centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) and the boundary of the maneuvering area without
dimensions are charted;
f) for “Proceed Visually” PinS” procedures with a “No Fly” area, the text “No Fly ” will be
shown, along with the boundary of the “No Fly” area. The “No Fly” area shall be shaded.
g) for “Maneuver Proceed Visually” PinS procedures where over flight of the heliport or
landing location is prohibited, the bearing and distance, from the MAPt to the heliport or
landing location, on a line from the MAPt to the boundary of the prohibited over flight area;
and,
h) for “Proceed VFR” procedures, only a height above surface (HAS) diagram, which shall
include the difference in height between the OCA and the elevation of the highest terrain or
water
surface within 1.5 km (0.8 NM) of the MAPt and any significant obstacles.
Charting No Fly Areas. When “No Fly” areas are established, the no fly area boundaries will be
shown but without dimensions.
Plan View. The Direct VS, if one exists, is charted in the plan view. If it doesn’t exist, the bearing and
distance from the MAPt to the heliport or landing location is charted. No other information from the
inset is charted on the plan view.
The plan view includes:
a) heliport/landing location name and elevation to the nearest metre or foot;
b) bearing to the nearest degree, and distance to the nearest two-tenths of a kilometre or tenth
of a nautical mile from the missed approach point (MAPt) to the heliport/landinglocation;
-4-
AIS-AIMSG/5-IP/3
c) textual instructions to “Proceed VFR from xxxx” (MAPt identifier) or “Proceed visually
from xxxx” (MAPt identifier) or “Maneuver Visually from xxxx” (MAPt identifier), as
appropriate; and,
d)obstacles, if not included, in an inset.
Profile View. The profile view contains the information relating to the instrument procedure profile
and the Direct VS centreline of the approach surface. The profile view of the chart will include:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Fixes, altitudes and distances up to the MAPt
The profile and track from the MAPt to the heliport or landing location
The descent point, if established
The descent angle from the MAPt or DP
The heliport crossing height (HCH)
The text “Proceed Visually” is located under the visual segment profile
Profiles of maneuvering VS centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) are not charted since the
maneuvering VS centreline(s) of the approach surface(s) will always conform to the Annex 14,
Volume II heliport OLS. The visual segment descent angle (VSDA) of 8.3° (14.6%) provides a 1.2°
buffer above the sloping OLS. Additionally, the profile from the MAPt of PinS approach
maneuvering visual segment to the centreline of the approach surface is not defined.
2.8
Material relating Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) approach manoeuvring
visual segments (VS) developed for Annex 4 is presented is presented in Appendix C.
2.9
Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) departure manoeuvring visual segments
(VS). Charting concepts of Point-in-Space (PinS) departure maneuvering visual segments (VS) have
been developed and material for Annex 4 developed.
Using the departure maneuvering visual segment (VS) procedure design criteria previously
developed, the discussions have led to the identification of principles for the charting of the subject
procedures
Maneuvering VS Procedure Charting. The heliport, the departure VS maneuvering area and the IDF
shall be charted on the departure maneuvering VS inset. The information in the departure
maneuvering VS inset shall be depicted to scale.
Other items included on the inset or departure chart are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Centreline(s) of the take-off climb surface(s) and direction(s).
The IDF MCA.
Maneuvering area boundaries.
The track of the first instrument segment originating from the IDF.
All penetrations of the OIS.
“No Fly” areas and their boundaries.
Departure Procedure with Maneuvering VS Inset on a Continuation Sheet.
If the departure maneuvering VS inset is depicted on a continuation sheet or the verso of the departure
procedure chart, the departure procedure chart shall be annotated directing the pilot to a continuation
sheet or reverse side of the chart.

2.11
Development of charting, data capturing and publication criteria for PinS operations
for helicopters . It has been proposed to introduce aeronautical data quality requirements (accuracy,
integrity classification, publication & charting resolution) associated to HCH (Helicopter Crossing
Height).
Definitions, abbreviations and the numerical requirements for HCH to be included in ICAO Annex 4
and Annex 15 have been developed.
For defining the HCH data quality elements, the supporting material related to chart/publication
resolution and integrity class contained in industry standards DO-201A/ ED-77A ‘Standards for
Aeronautical Information’ has been used as recommended by Annex 4 ‘Aeronautical Charts’, Chapter
2, paragraph 2.17 ‘Aeronautical data’.
The proposed definition for HCH also references the term “Heliport Reference Point” (HRP).
However, some of the ICAO documents have already considered the term HRP (acronym and/or
definition) together with its assigned quality data numerical requirements. Where missing, for
consistency reason, inclusion of HRP definition & acronym in these documents has also been
considered in the amendment proposal presented in Appendix E.
2.12
Material relating charting, data capturing and publication criteria for PinS operations
for helicopters developed for Annex 4, Annex 15 is presented Appendix E.
2.13
Depiction of RNP Navigation Accuracies on RNP Route Segments. It was agreed that
amendments to Annex 15, Annex 4, Annex 4 Appendix 2, Doc 8697 and, Doc 8168 would be
required to standardize the depiction of route segment RNP Navigation Specification accuracy
requirements. Four different RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement depiction methods
have been discussed. The following criteria, named “Charting by Exception” has been recognized to
be the best methodology to follow:
a)
Charting by Exception: Charting of the route segment RNP Navigation
Specification accuracy requirement by exception. In this case, there is a general statement in
the State’s AIP and/or the chart legend such as, “All route segment Navigation Specification
accuracy requirements are RNP x.x, except where otherwise noted.” If a specific route
segment RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement differs from x.x, the RNP
Navigation Specification accuracy requirement will be charted in the route segment data.
This charting methodology reduces chart clutter. It involves statements of the RNP Navigation
Specification accuracy requirements in the State AIP for specific air space and in the chart legend
note citing the accuracy requirement for the RNP route segments on the chart. When the required
RNP Navigation Specification accuracy requirement differs from the standard value, information is
charted by exception in the route segment data.
