LPV-200

SBAS CAT-1 (DA/H 200ft)

• Very good coverage of the ECAC landmasses all the LPV procedures available more

than 99% of the time

• Some areas with lower availability due (mainly) to ionospheric activity, linked to solar cycle 24 (very active during 2014 and beginning of 2015)

EGNOS SoL Service: Status

APV-I performance during 2014

By the end of 2015, there will be:• LPV-200 Service level declaration in Q4 2015: new SoL SDD publication

• A general improvement in the coverage area (mainly borders) due to an increase of the robustness against ionospheric disturbances

• GEO modernization: SES ASTRA 4B – SES-5(PRN136) replacing PRN 120

EGNOS SoL Service: Roadmap 2015 -2017

Beyond 2015, it is foreseen:• Coverage improvement toward full EU-28 coverage

• Extension of coverage up to 72°N latitude

• Improvement of GPS SV monitoring capabilities

• GEO modernization: SES ASTRA 5B

New version of EGNOS SoL Service Implementation Roadmap foreseen by Q2 2015

LPV-200: an EGNOS major milestone

• New EGNOS system release V2.4.1M will enable LPV operations based onEGNOS SoL service down to a decision height of 200 ft minima (ILS CAT Ilook-alike)

• According to ICAO, these operations are considered within InstrumentApproach Procedures (IAP) as Precision Approaches based on SBAS (PA -SBAS CAT-I)

• This new service level will be called LPV-200 and its declaration towardsusers is foreseen in Q4 2015

LPV-200 will bring extra operational benefits (i.e reducing delays, diversions and cancellations) and increase accessibility to European runways with

respect to APV while maintaining today’s high safety levels

EGNOS Success Stories

AURIGNY AIR SERVICES

• Project with Eurocontrol and NATS in 2010/2011

• Results– First regional airline making use of EGNOS during their approach and landing operations

– Conducting more than 3500 LPV approaches per year

We find the LPV much more stable than even the ILS approach!

BEFORE AFTER

EGNOS Success Stories

AVIATION SOUTHWEST & EXETER AIRPORT

• Part of GSA funded ACCEPTA project 2012-2014

• Results– Airport: LPV procedures published in August 2014 now pursuing 200’ DH (SBAS CAT I)

– ASW:

• Upgrade of BE76 and Piper 28A

• LPV training incorporated onto the IR course

• 10 IR instructors and 3 IR NAA examiners trained until June 2014

We may withdraw non-precision approaches when navaids reach the end of their life now that LPV is available

The LPV avalanche may start slow but it gains momentum and is unstoppable. Proper training is absolutely essential!

EGNOS Success Stories

DSNA, the French ANSP

• Committed to an ambitious roadmap aiming to publish 200 PBN and EGNOS based approach procedures in the coming years

• 88 LPV procedures published until the date (January 2015)

EGNOS Success Stories

• “…, SLS (SBAS Landing System) is sometimes more stable than ILS,…, specially when a/c isn’t perfectly aligned with

the LOC ” Airbus Test Pilot

• “I felt I was flying an ILS” Inaer

• “Are the CDI/VDI needles working? This GPS approach is so-accurate!” TAF Helicopters

• “…inbound track and glide path are totally reliable and steady,…, I would say, better than a current radio based ILS

operation. Simply 100% accurate, lineal and reliable” Gestair Pilot

• “…Excellent flyability. Very smooth to follow, very precise in the course and in the glide path, ..., Easier than

expected and amazing to follow the path on the runway. We are delighted with this type of approaches” Gestair

Co-Pilot

• “The addition of LPV capability to our aircraft permits us to provide significantly improved schedule reliability for

our scheduled and charter clients, given the absence of traditional ground-based approach aids at many of the

remote Canadian destinations we serve. From the pilot's perspective, CMC's LPV system provides a clean,

straightforward interface which behaves exactly like an ILS, but with the exceptional SBAS performance and

availability” Canadian North
