Why EGNOS?

• Augmenting GPS L1 signal over the ECACarea

• Guarantee of performance parameters:accuracy, availability, integrity, reliability

• 2nd March 2011 – EGNOS Safety of Life

• ESSP has been certified based on the SingleEuropean Sky Regulatory

• EGNOS landing procedures being developedaround EU for their benefits:

o Precise vertical guidance

o Safer landings at airports not equipped with ground-based navigation aids (e.g. ILS)

o Increased airports capacity

E-GNSS in aviation:Navigation, Surveillance and Communication

Today

EGNOS enables approaches down to LPV minima

Freely offered for all phases of flight to airspace users and air navigation service providers (ANSPs)

Enabler for PBN implementation and SBAS Approach with Vertical Guidance (LPV)

EGNOS enables approaches with comparable performance to ILS CAT I, without the need for ground infrastructure

Decision heights can be reduced to:

‒ NPA: 450ft

‒ LPV: 250ft (200ft soon)

Procedures can be implemented for all runways, both ends, at little or no extra cost

LPV = Localiser Performance with Vertical guidance

Example of Decision Height Minimum

GSA and aviation stakeholders join forces to bring EGNOS to users

General Aviation needs cost effective avionics

GNS530W

“This initiative is of high interest of PPLIR Europe members! We are ready to support this to increase safety”

Paul Sherry, Chairman & Director

“EASA is ready to take this application further for the benefit of GA users”

Paul Hatton, EASA

GNS430W• Garmin GNS 430W/530: GNSS/SBAS avionics most

commonly used by IFR GA in EU

• LPV Aircraft retrofit with GNS 430W/530W is considered a Major Modification by EASA

Up to 10000 €

Solution:

All Model List for CS 23 (light GA aircraft) 300€

Garmin GNS430/GNS530 avionics will soon be approved by EASA for EGNOS-enabled approaches

GSA has sponsored the EASA approval for the avionics system most widely used by GA pilots: Garmin GNS430 & GNS530

To date, use of this equipment for LPV approaches has not been approved in Europe

LPV approaches are increasingly available throughput Europe

National Civil Aviation Authorities are progressively embedding GNSS approach procedure phraseology into their radiotelephony manuals (e.g. UK CAA CAP 413)

Gama Aviation has prepared the Multi-Model List application for a major change to the EASA Supplementary Type Certificate (STC)

The STC will apply to CS-23 single and twin piston engine and turbo-prop aircraft

Approval of avionics for LPV approaches

GA and BA pilots with relevant equipment already installed will soon be able to take full advantage of EGNOS, without significant financial investment

Gama Aviation will administer the design data issuance and management of continuing airworthiness associated to the design change (c.€250 per aircraft)
