 1.1why PBN implementation plan needed in Egypt
-  facilitate an efficient, globally harmonized and coordinated
transition from conventional navigation towards GNSS becoming
the prime positioning source for RNAV and RNP applications in
all phases of flight using Galileo/GPS/GLONASS, GBAS and
SBAS.

-  The ICAO MID Region is characterized by diverse air traffic

volumes and densities, operational requirements and CNS/ATM
capabilities, and thus different navigation applications may be
applied by different homogeneous ATM areas TMAs and
airports .

-  The national plan will ensure coherent navigation planning by

providing proper guidance and direction to NANSC, airports,
airspace operators and users, (ECAA), and foreign operators
who operate or plan to operate in Egypt.

 1.2 Egyptian PBN Implementation Plan objectives
-  Provide a high-level strategy for the evolution of the PBN
applications to be implemented in Egypt in the short term (2014)
and medium term (2014-2016).

-  Provide a general description of the planned evolution of the

PBN applications within the ASBU in the long term (2017 +).

-  Ensure that the implementation of PBN in Egypt is based on

clearly established operational requirements.

5. Strategy for Egyptian PBN implementation & monitoring
1/3:
q Safety is the highest priority
q GNSS is the basic for future air navigation services
q Enhance ASM through PBN implementation
q airworthiness and operational approvals allowing the
current GNSS applied for en-route and non-precision
approach phases of flight without the need for
augmentation services external to the aircraft
q Mitigate the effect of ionosphere on GNSS
q Align PBN plan with ASBU blocks
q Align PBN plan with Egyptian airspace program

2/3:
q Issuing altimeter charts and find the lowest temperature
for last 5 years to apply Baro-VNAV as well as check any
changes in altimeter each 5 years
q Establish KPIs for PBN implementation plan in term of :
v Access
v Capacity
v Efficiency
v Environment
v Safety
v Cost benefit analysis
q facilitate the use of GNSS; as enabler for
PBN for en-route, terminal, approach and
departure navigation

5. Strategy for Egyptian PBN implementation & monitoring
3/3:
q Call Military side in PBN implementation process as part
of CDM
q Establish PBN national committee includes all
stakeholders
q Establish awareness program for 18 months after each
PBN implementation phase (1 awareness each 6 months)
for all stakeholders
q Egypt will undertake education, training
and R&D programs to provide necessary
knowledge in PBN, GNSS, augmentation
systems and operational application
