Introduction

• This manual covers the Performance Based Navigation (PBN) theoretical knowledge and ground

training for a Europe based Instrument Rated pilot operating single-pilot general aviation aircraft under

IFR in Europe

• The focus of the manual is on European single pilots using GNSS in an IFR context. Other

technologies are mentioned only for completeness and with little detail.

• Some of the detailed content and reference material is beyond the scope of what is required for pilot

training, but may be of interest. Appendices 2,3 and 4 contain information which will be only of interest

to those seeking a deeper technical understanding, not required of the average, competent pilot.

• The learning objectives to meet EASA PBN training requirements shown in Appendix 1 refer to the

applicable text which meets those objectives. Some of these learning objectives are outside the scope

required by a GA fixed wing pilot, but are included, as they could appear in an exam. In those cases

we have kept detail to an absolute minimum.

• However, we have not limited ourselves to EASA learning objectives. The intention is to provide a

comprehensive PBN manual, practical as well as theoretical.

• For example, we have provided detailed illustrations of departures, arrivals and approaches, with cross

referencing between plates and GNSS receiver displays, and these merit close attention.

Understanding the relationships in advance might help avoid confusion at times of high workload close

to terrain.

• The contents of this manual change regularly as regulatory and technical changes are made. We try

to keep it up to date. The latest version is always available in PDF form from the PPL/IR website.

Introduction

• Due to these changes over the years, and variations in interpretation and implementation between

regulatory authorities, there remain areas of ambiguity in PBN. We have focussed on ICAO standards

and EASA implementation. Thus there may be differences between what is written here and other

sources, particularly outside Europe.

• As naming conventions are changing as we write, we refer to both RNAV and RNP Approaches in this

book. For the time being, in Europe, they can be considered to be the same. (See p.101)

• This manual assumes that the reader is an instrument rated pilot or familiar with normal IR terminology

i.e. ‘IAF’, ‘minima’ etc. IR terminology is used without explanation unless PBN concepts modify non

PBN usage.
