The Hindu Business Line : Jet Airways to use area navigation

Jet Airways said on Monday that the private sector carrier has become the first airline in India, to have obtained regulatory approval for the use of RNAV1 (Area Navigation) across its entire jet aircraft fleet. This is subsequent to the recently introduced Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures in the country. According to a statement, Jet has also become the first airline in India to have obtained regulatory approval for the conduct of RNP 0.3 approaches at applicable airfields. The technology enables a high level of navigational accuracy leading to better airspace utilisation through stringent accuracy requirements. Other benefits include better optimisation of airspace, reducing dependency on routes based on ground navigation aids and permitting reduced separation between two airborne aircrafts, without compromising on safety standards. - Our Bureau
