Background
• Resolution made at the ICAO 36th & 37th General Assembly
• European States plan the implementation of APV/SBAS (LPV)
procedures to all instrument runway-ends, based on SBAS, EGNOS
in Europe.
• Projects launched and supported by EC/GSA to implement
procedures & operations based on European GNSS systems
Pre-operational projects (trials & support)
Operational projects (publication/certification &
advanced procedures)
• European Satellite Service Provider
• EGNOS SoL service declared operational on the 2nd of March 2011
• LPV operational implementation on its way in Europe:
• More than 73 LPV & 74 APV Baro published.

Issues/gaps to be addressed. Users’ requests
• End users are demanding new operations to improve and achieve the
following benefits and make use of capabilities already available onboard:
• Efficiency and operational benefits
• More stabilised final segment approach, reduction of missed approaches
• Decongest TMA, new operations in RWYs not equipped with ILS or terrestrial navaids
• Precision departures: reduction of departure climb gradient
• Cost Efficiency
• Reduction of flying time / fuel consumption -> better service / cost saving for operators
• Reduction of terrestrial equipment maintenance -> cost saving for ANSPs
• Low cost GNSS sensors with high performance
• Environmental benefits: Reduction of noise and emissions
• Implementing new operations based on new nav.specs. (ICAO doc. 9613)
• RNP curved arrivals/approaches, A-RNP, RNP APCH (LPV), RNP AR, RNP 1, etc.
• RF legs prior to FAP, Advanced operations
• Increase safety with these new operations
• These gaps will be addressed in the FilGAPP Project using GNSS as key
positioning / time enabler

Conclusions
• LPV is now a reality in Europe.
• End users are demanding new operations using GNSS as
enabler.
– Curved approaches with RF prior to FAP and final transition to LPV.
• Operators have to be equipped with SBAS capability.
• ANSPs and Airports have to implement these operations.
– EC/GSA is supporting these activities (Sherpa, ACCEPTA, …).
• FilGAPP Project will demonstrate the benefits provided by
these advanced operations through different flight trials.
– In Spain: Valencia and Pamplona
– In Germany. Egelsbach and Saarbrücken
