- PBN is the method of navigation that allows the aircraft operation on any desired flight path based on the performance of aircraft within the coverage of ground or space based navigation aids or within the limits of the capability of self contained aids or combination of these.
- PBN now a days has become the utmost air navigation priority of global aviation communities.
- PBN can be used in developing efficient air route network and allows different ways to construct most direct routes.
- The PBN concept requires that the aircraft area navigation system performance be defined in terms of accuracy, integrity, avaibility, continuity and functionality necessary to operate in the context of a particular airspace concept.
PBN helps to:
- Enhance the safety
- Increase ATC and airspace capacity
- Improve effeciency
- Enhance accessibility to the airports
- Reduce the impact on the environment
