PANS-OPS Performance Based Navigation Procedure Design

This course introduces the principles of RNAV flight procedure design based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and BARO-VNAV criteria. Participants will learn how to construct approach, departure, and arrival segments using satellite-based navigation, with a focus on APV procedures that use decision altitudes and ILS-like obstacle assessment surfaces.

This course is ideal for procedure designers and aviation professionals working in environments transitioning to PBN. It covers key design elements including RNAV segments, holding patterns, terminal arrival altitudes, and proposed updates to PANS-OPS criteria. Practical exercises help reinforce the application of these concepts in real-world scenarios.

By the end of the module, participants will be able to design safe and compliant RNAV procedures, apply BARO-VNAV criteria, and interpret relevant ICAO standards. The course supports the shift toward performance-based navigation and prepares learners for more advanced design tasks.

“My experience studying online through AKO with Airways was last year, so I did the 051 online course, which was about 16 weeks or so. It gave me the flexibility to do that more based from home which I really appreciated."
Lyndsey Morrison-Barnes ATC trainee
"Despite the online training being new to us all, through the trials and tribulations of the global Covid-19 pandemic, your continued efforts, hard work and delivery were on point and certainly appreciated. Thank you very much for the training, I enjoyed every minute of it and have learnt a lot in the ATC field."
