Introduction to the Second EGNOS Adoption Aviation Call

– Scope and objectives of the call

– Areas of activities

– Eligibility and Award criteria

– Administrative aspects

2

Scope and Objectives of the call

Objective: Award a number of grants to foster EGNOS operational implementation for

civil aviation in all market segments (Regional Aviation, Business Aviation, General Aviation and rotorcraft) with a final aim to maximise public benefits, increase and foster a network effect on current and future development of EGNOS enabled operations

Scope: Foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS

based operations (including LPV200)

Development and/or installation of GPS/EGNOS enabled avionics and appropriate airworthiness certification

Approval of Air Operator Certificate for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with SBAS capabilities

Development of enablers to accelerate EGNOS adoption and preparation for futures capabilities

3

The Call is structured in

6 Areas of activities

4

RNP APCH procedures to LPV minima based on EGNOS

PinS Procedures to LPV minima based on EGNOS

Aircraft or rotorcraft forward fit

Aircraft or rotorcraft retro fit

Development of Service Bulletin and/or Supplemental Type Certificate

Other EGNOS based operations and development of Enablers

Areas of activities (I)

Approach Procedures Implementation

Design, development and publication of EGNOS LPV procedures (at European airports). Implementation of LPV200 can also be considered

Typical activities may include: Procedure design Safety Assessment Ground and Flight validation Training for ATC and/or pilots

Focus on helicopter Point in Space approach operations serving heliports, helipads or oilrigs, possibly designed as Simultaneous Non Interfering (SNI) Approaches

RNP APCH procedures to LPV minima

PinS Procedures to LPV minima

5

A

B

Expected output: operational implementation of EGNOS based procedures

Areas of activities (II)

Aircraft upgrade

Focus on development of SBAS LPV capability in new aircraft models and/or entry into operation

Certain aircraft manufacturers may include the SBAS LPV capability as an optional package in some of their models.

This area supports development and acquisition of such SBAS LPV options.

Aircraft or rotorcraft forward fit

Focus on in-service aircraft/rotorcraft not certified to perform LPV procedures Two scenarios:

1. Airframes equipped with EGNOS LPV avionics but without a LPV operational approval: funding for operational approval;

2. Airframes not equipped with EGNOS LPV avionics: in addition, costs related to hardware acquisition, hardware installation and certification could be funded.

Aircraft or rotorcraft retro fit

C

D

Expected output: LPV operational approval from the relevant Authority

C&D Proposals shall contribute to track actual EGNOS based performed approaches

Areas of activities (III)

Avionics solutions

Aircraft or rotorcraft manufacturers may generate Service Bulletins (SBs) to include SBAS LPV capabilities in some of their models. These improvements are usually offered to customers as optional items.

This area will fund development of SBs involving SBAS LPV.

Service Bulletin

Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) are major modifications to an existing type certified aircraft. STCs are usually developed, designed and owned by non-TC holders (Part-21 EASA approved organisations).

This area funds development of STCs, involving SBAS LPV

Supplemental Type Certificate

7

E

Expected output: SB and STC commercially available

Areas of activities (IV)

Enablers and other EGNOS based operations

Any activity that addresses the development of enablers to accelerate EGNOS adoption and its operational use by civil aviation

Possible activities: (not limited list) Development of RNP 0.3 routes where GNSS prediction is replaced by EGNOS Advanced RNP (A-RNP) using SBAS Localizer Performance approaches (LP) Use of EGNOS for RPAS robust and safe navigation, aligned with the EU

standardization roadmap Enablers, such as: flight simulators for training purposes, flight validation

tools…

8

F

Expected output: Commercially available enabler and/or operational implementation of the new EGNOS based

operation (including a demonstration)

Eligibility criteria
