Proposed amendments to the UK Performance-Based Navigation Regulation

Proposed policy to be included in consolidated UK PBN Regulation Article 4, Transitional Measures:

ATM/ANS providers required to implement the specifications listed above must ensure a smooth and safe transition to use of PBN, including by:

• Establishing, implementing, and keeping up to date a PBN transition plan;
• Consulting on the draft transition plan (and any significant update);
• Reporting progress to the CAA and submitting the consultation responses and draft transition plan (or update) to the CAA for approval in the form and manner determined by the CAA;
• Only establishing and implementing the transition plan (or update) after it has been approved by the CAA;

(Note: This duty will continue to apply to ATM/ANS providers already subject to the requirements in the PBN Regulation. It will also apply to those brought in scope of the requirements for the first time because of the proposed amendments.)
