Flying into the future
The PROuD Project
Casa dell’Aviatore, Rome
30th September 2016
Introduction
• Nowadays, many critical services, such as Helicopter Emergency Medical Service
(HEMS) and Search and Rescue (SAR), are carried out in very challenging
environments, requiring helicopters to often fly in adverse weather conditions and in
unfavourable contexts (e.g. mountainous areas, urban environments).
2
Introduction
• In many cases, helicopters are not supported by any navigation aid, as small airports
and landing sites are not equipped with ground based facilities enabling
instrument flight.
3
• Pilots mainly fly visually, thus
limiting the number of missions
that can be completed
successfully when visibility is
low.
Project Summary
4
• The PROuD project is one of the 15 Large Scale Demonstration projects that have
been selected by the SESAR JU (SJU), the public-private partnership responsible for
coordinating ATM research & development in Europe.
• SJU Call for Proposal for Large Scale Demonstration activities (2014-2016), Lot2:
“Precision Arrival and Departure Procedures” bringing safety and economic
improvements to small size airports and heliports already applying or implementing
satellite rotorcraft operations.
Project Summary - Objectives
5
• The objective was to demonstrate, in a live trial
environment, how the adoption of PBN flight procedures
improves the safety and reliability of operations and
landing site accessibility in challenging environments.
– Provide instrument approach capabilities to locations where
conventional navigation facilities are not available
– Enable continued access to heliports in difficult to reach areas
during reduced visibility conditions
– Guarantee the continuity of vital services such as patients’
transport and mountain rescue, enhancing safety and saving
costs for communities.

Overview
SESAR DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS
Common objectives
 accelerating the operational acceptance and the
industrialisation of the SESAR solutions
 capitalising on the SESAR delivery approach by going beyond
the SESAR validation activities (V3)
 de-risking future operations/approval by involving authorities
 to confirm the interoperability of SESAR Solutions
 raise awareness regarding SESAR activities related to ATM
performance issues and their results
Or in more practical terms …
Each project shall:
 identify and report the environmental, safety, capacity and
economic benefits that the adoption of the demonstrated
solution will bring to air transport;
 allow for the performance of a maximum amount of flight
trials (with a minimum of 50 flight trials per targeted focus
area) in order to be able to draw stable conclusions;
 highlight the solution advantages compared to the current
situation, paving the way towards implementation;
 provide any necessary feedback to related SESAR deliverables;
 provide additional inputs to related standardization activities;
 raise awareness regarding SESAR activities related to ATM
performance issues and their results: ‘Seeing is believing’
The execution of the live trials has to be considered as a full
“Proof of Concept”
Required safety arguments and/or safety assessments have to
be specifically documented, comprising contingency procedures
and reversion to conventional modes of operation where
applicable
The necessary agreements with EASA and the affected National
Authorities, as well as the required approvals or permissions
have to be set up and documented

Project overall results – Impact on SAFETY
According to PBN manual ([5] - see 6.3.3.2.3), all aircraft operating on RNP AR APCH procedure
must have a cross-track TSE navigation error no greater than the applicable RNP navigation
accuracy requirement (0.1 NM to 0.3 NM) for 95 per cent of the flight time.
– Both the possibility to take off and land are enhanced, thanks
to the reduced minima. In IMC, the procedures contribute to
the increase of inter-hospital transfers and HEMS operations.
Project overall results – Impact on OPERATIONS
* Pilots’ answers to post flight questionnaires: expected impact of new procedures on possibility
to land and take off and predictability of Low-Level IFR Routes respect to current procedures.
– Meteo data analysis: how much difference in the
possibility to operate would be experienced if the new
procedures were used instead of the current ones in the
past 4 years? Source: METARs.

Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration
OBJ-0209-002 Safety The results confirmed a positive impact in terms of several
indicators used for the assessment.
OBJ-0209-004 Accessibility The results confirmed the accessibility is increased respect to
the existing procedures.
OBJ-0209-006 Environmental Sustainability The flight track for the PinS RNP APCH to LPV minimum
procedure is longer compared to VFR approach; the
environmental impact is not reduced but the accessibility to
the airport will increase in bad weather and HEMS service
availability.
OBJ-0209-008 Efficiency The results showed that, limited to VMC. PinS approach
procedures are less efficient in terms of flight time, compared
to VFR flights.
Nevertheless this new procedure is an additional solution to
permit life-saving flights in IMC as it ensures the approach
operation in emergencies /catastrophic situations from an
additional direction and with also lower minima.
Helicopter RNP AR APCH
(Samedan)
5
Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration
OBJ-0209-102 Safety Slight increase of safety level. New procedures are considered safer
than the current ones are especially marginal weather situations and
night operations.
OBJ-0209-010 Accessibility New procedure will permit to fly through a cloud or fog layer, when
there are bad weather conditions thus improving site accessibility.
OBJ-0209-106 Environmental
Sustainability
The flight track for the RNP AR procedure is longer and the approach
speed is slower compared to VFR approach. The environmental
impact is not reduced but the accessibility to and from the airport will
increase in bad weather.
OBJ-0209-108 Efficiency The new procedure has a negative impact on efficiency, as the IFR
approach requires more miles to be flown and takes more time with
respect to current VFR operations.
Nevertheless, pilots will be able to operate in adverse weather
conditions, thus increasing the number of missions performed.
PinS Departure
(Chur, standard and Samedan, non standard)
6
Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration
OBJ-0209-011 Safety The average results confirmed a slight positive impact in terms of several
indicators used for the assessment.
For Samedan Departure, taking into account that non-standard design
criteria have been adopted, safety implications and additional potential
hazards need to be properly deepened.
OBJ-0209-012 Availability The increase of the availability for all the sites under assessment has been
demonstrated.
OBJ-0209-013 Environmental
Sustainability
The flight track for the PinS departure is longer than VFR one; the
environmental impact is not reduced, but the availability of the airport will
increase in bad weather and HEMS service availability is improved.
OBJ-0209-014 Efficiency Compared to VFR flights PinS departure procedure is less efficient in terms
of flight time, limited to VMC conditions, with regard to the aviation view.
Nevertheless these new procedures are often the only solution to permit
life-saving flights in IMC.
Low-Level IFR Routes
(Chur <-> Samedan)
7
Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration
OBJ-0209-116 Safety The results of the data analysis demonstrate that, the
implementation of the Low Level IFR Route is expected to
increase the safety level with respect to the current VFR
operations mainly in bad visibility conditions.
OBJ-0209-015 Service availability IFR connection provides the possibility to operate also in
bad weather conditions, thus significantly increase the
HEMS service availability, in particular in bad weather
conditions, increasing the number of saved lives.
OBJ-0209-016 Predictability The results demonstrated that IFR GNSS navigation allows
to increase the adherence to the nominal path and the
possibility to precisely calculate the time needed to
perform heliport to heliport HEMS operations.

Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration
OBJ-0209-001 Safety The result is an increase of Safety level, of the new approach
operations.
OBJ-0209-003 Accessibility Improvement of site accessibility.
OBJ-0209-005 Environmental Sustainability The new procedures did not allow more environmental
friendly operations. IFR procedure generally includes more
track miles. However the fact that the pilot can choose a
direct routing in clouds instead of flying around the terrain
when weather is below VFR minimum, can bring a benefit
from an environmental point of view.
OBJ-0209-007 Efficiency The results showed that, limited to VMC. PinS approach
procedures are less efficient in terms of flight time, compared
to VFR flights.
Nevertheless this new procedure is an additional solution to
permit life-saving flights in IMC as it ensures the approach

PROuD Consortium
Conclusions and
recommendations
Casa dell’Aviatore, Rome
30th September 2016
Conclusions (1/2)
• By the introduction of the new PBN operational solutions, the safety improvement
is mainly in bad weather conditions and during night operations.
• The flight campaigns demonstrated improved accessibility for sites affected by low
visibility and challenging environment in terms of reduction of landing minima and
number of diversions and missed approaches.
• New PBN procedures can definitely improve HEMS service availability and
continuity mainly under adverse meteorological conditions.
• The changes in the current operating methods (basically the shift from visual to
instrumental flight) are considered acceptable. Regular training is considered
needed to develop the necessary skills and practice.
Conclusions (2/2)
• The PROuD project provides important output to support future evaluations by the
Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) for the use of IFR procedures in
class G uncontrolled airspace, currently prohibited by the Swiss regulation.
• The results of the PROuD trials have been used to convince the Norwegian CAA
that the operational implementation of RNP 0.3 navigation specification in all
phases of flight needs a specific EASA AMC so that European operators can
utilized this navigation specification.
• The Norwegian CAA attended the flight trials and has approved the approach
procedures with LNAV and LPV minima for operational use by Norsk
Luftambulanse.
• NLA has received a temporary approval based on the PinS departure criteria
together with some other company approval based on the ICAO DOC 8168 Vol. 2.
Recommendations
– Procedure design improvements RNAV (RNP) RWY 03 Samedan
– Additional SBAS requirement supports navigation performance
– Foster the development of helicopter specific RNP AR design criteria
– ATM integration of new procedures and regulatory pioneer work are the main
challenges
Recommendations
› Technology exists to support advanced helicopter PBN operations
› Massive investment is made on the development and implementation of PBN Heli
applications
 Helicopter Flights Inspection / - validation capability
 AW109SP FFS Simulator
 Pilot PBN training
 Safety assessment
 Helicopter RNP 0.3 in all phases of flight certification
› Requires close collaboration of all stakeholders
 Helicopter operators
 Regulators -> including ICAO IFPP PANS-OPS Criteria
 Aircraft manufacturers
 ANSP
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION
AND NOW… OPEN DISCUSSION ON DEMONSTRATION RESULTS

Flying into the Future with PBN Procedures

  • 1. Stefano Bonelli Human Factors expert, Deep Blue Flying into the future The PROuD Project Casa dell’Aviatore, Rome 30th September 2016
  • 2. Introduction • Nowadays, many critical services, such as Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) and Search and Rescue (SAR), are carried out in very challenging environments, requiring helicopters to often fly in adverse weather conditions and in unfavourable contexts (e.g. mountainous areas, urban environments). 2
  • 3. Introduction • In many cases, helicopters are not supported by any navigation aid, as small airports and landing sites are not equipped with ground based facilities enabling instrument flight. 3 • Pilots mainly fly visually, thus limiting the number of missions that can be completed successfully when visibility is low.
  • 4. Project Summary 4 • The PROuD project is one of the 15 Large Scale Demonstration projects that have been selected by the SESAR JU (SJU), the public-private partnership responsible for coordinating ATM research & development in Europe. • SJU Call for Proposal for Large Scale Demonstration activities (2014-2016), Lot2: “Precision Arrival and Departure Procedures” bringing safety and economic improvements to small size airports and heliports already applying or implementing satellite rotorcraft operations.
  • 5. Project Summary - Objectives 5 • The objective was to demonstrate, in a live trial environment, how the adoption of PBN flight procedures improves the safety and reliability of operations and landing site accessibility in challenging environments. – Provide instrument approach capabilities to locations where conventional navigation facilities are not available – Enable continued access to heliports in difficult to reach areas during reduced visibility conditions – Guarantee the continuity of vital services such as patients’ transport and mountain rescue, enhancing safety and saving costs for communities.

PinS RNP APCH to LPV minimum/a (Chur) • Results highlights for selected KPA 4 Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration OBJ-0209-002 Safety The results confirmed a positive impact in terms of several indicators used for the assessment. OBJ-0209-004 Accessibility The results confirmed the accessibility is increased respect to the existing procedures. OBJ-0209-006 Environmental Sustainability The flight track for the PinS RNP APCH to LPV minimum procedure is longer compared to VFR approach; the environmental impact is not reduced but the accessibility to the airport will increase in bad weather and HEMS service availability. OBJ-0209-008 Efficiency The results showed that, limited to VMC. PinS approach procedures are less efficient in terms of flight time, compared to VFR flights. Nevertheless this new procedure is an additional solution to permit life-saving flights in IMC as it ensures the approach operation in emergencies /catastrophic situations from an additional direction and with also lower minima.
  • 114. Helicopter RNP AR APCH (Samedan) 5 Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration OBJ-0209-102 Safety Slight increase of safety level. New procedures are considered safer than the current ones are especially marginal weather situations and night operations. OBJ-0209-010 Accessibility New procedure will permit to fly through a cloud or fog layer, when there are bad weather conditions thus improving site accessibility. OBJ-0209-106 Environmental Sustainability The flight track for the RNP AR procedure is longer and the approach speed is slower compared to VFR approach. The environmental impact is not reduced but the accessibility to and from the airport will increase in bad weather. OBJ-0209-108 Efficiency The new procedure has a negative impact on efficiency, as the IFR approach requires more miles to be flown and takes more time with respect to current VFR operations. Nevertheless, pilots will be able to operate in adverse weather conditions, thus increasing the number of missions performed.
  • 115. PinS Departure (Chur, standard and Samedan, non standard) 6 Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration OBJ-0209-011 Safety The average results confirmed a slight positive impact in terms of several indicators used for the assessment. For Samedan Departure, taking into account that non-standard design criteria have been adopted, safety implications and additional potential hazards need to be properly deepened. OBJ-0209-012 Availability The increase of the availability for all the sites under assessment has been demonstrated. OBJ-0209-013 Environmental Sustainability The flight track for the PinS departure is longer than VFR one; the environmental impact is not reduced, but the availability of the airport will increase in bad weather and HEMS service availability is improved. OBJ-0209-014 Efficiency Compared to VFR flights PinS departure procedure is less efficient in terms of flight time, limited to VMC conditions, with regard to the aviation view. Nevertheless these new procedures are often the only solution to permit life-saving flights in IMC.
  • 116. Low-Level IFR Routes (Chur <-> Samedan) 7 Objective ID KPA Result of the demonstration OBJ-0209-116 Safety The results of the data analysis demonstrate that, the implementation of the Low Level IFR Route is expected to increase the safety level with respect to the current VFR operations mainly in bad visibility conditions. OBJ-0209-015 Service availability IFR connection provides the possibility to operate also in bad weather conditions, thus significantly increase the HEMS service availability, in particular in bad weather conditions, increasing the number of saved lives. OBJ-0209-016 Predictability The results demonstrated that IFR GNSS navigation allows to increase the adherence to the nominal path and the possibility to precisely calculate the time needed to perform heliport to heliport HEMS operations.

  • 191. Conclusions (1/2) • By the introduction of the new PBN operational solutions, the safety improvement is mainly in bad weather conditions and during night operations. • The flight campaigns demonstrated improved accessibility for sites affected by low visibility and challenging environment in terms of reduction of landing minima and number of diversions and missed approaches. • New PBN procedures can definitely improve HEMS service availability and continuity mainly under adverse meteorological conditions. • The changes in the current operating methods (basically the shift from visual to instrumental flight) are considered acceptable. Regular training is considered needed to develop the necessary skills and practice.
  • 192. Conclusions (2/2) • The PROuD project provides important output to support future evaluations by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) for the use of IFR procedures in class G uncontrolled airspace, currently prohibited by the Swiss regulation. • The results of the PROuD trials have been used to convince the Norwegian CAA that the operational implementation of RNP 0.3 navigation specification in all phases of flight needs a specific EASA AMC so that European operators can utilized this navigation specification. • The Norwegian CAA attended the flight trials and has approved the approach procedures with LNAV and LPV minima for operational use by Norsk Luftambulanse. • NLA has received a temporary approval based on the PinS departure criteria together with some other company approval based on the ICAO DOC 8168 Vol. 2.
