Reduce flight into terrain
PBN enhances safety with precise positioning that reduces terrain collisions in challenging regions with limited infrastructure.
Improving approach accuracy and precision to land worldwide
As commercial aviation transitions to performance-based navigation due to aging infrastructure and complex regulations, Satellite-based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) activating localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) enables aircraft to navigate and land anywhere in the world.
Collins GLU-2100 Multi-Mode Receiver powers SBAS and LPV for all Airbus and Boeing platforms.
Achieving performance-based navigation
SBAS explained
Learn how SBAS optimizes flight efficiency and enables LPV approaches eliminating the use of ground navigation.
LPV lowers operating minima in low-visibility conditions
LPV provides safer and more stable performance down to 200 feet decision height, regardless of low-visibility conditions.
PBN vs conventional ILS navigation
PBN is flexible, eliminating the constraints of ground-based, sensor-specific routes and procedures.
Efficient routing and separation procedures increases capacity
With PBN optimizes airspace usage by enabling more efficient routing and separation procedures. This can lead to increased airspace capacity allowing more aircraft to operate safely in each airspace.
PBN becoming a global standard
In an effort to reduce complex cross-border operations and harmonize across different regions, PBN is becoming a global standard for navigation procedures. PBN enables the implementation of advanced navigation procedures like required navigation performance (RNP) and area navigation (RNAV). These advanced navigation procedures are essential for efficient, modern air traffic management.
Flying direct routes improves environmental sustainability
Another positive result of PBN flight efficiency is reduced fuel consumption. Limiting fuel consumption contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions helping industry achieve net zero.
