PiLDo Labs: Experience and Role
 Wide experience in the GNSS aviation domain:
 Technical support to Certification of new GNSS service provision in the
aviation domain: EGNOS, GBAS, in the future Galileo and multi-constellation
 Support the introduction of GNSS services in aviation:
 Aircraft (GIANT, GIANT-2, GBAS trials)
 Rotorcraft (HEDGE)
 Promotion of GNSS European systems in the Latin America region
 ATM Solutions and applications: RNAV procedure design and support tools
 Role in METIS Wide Area Demonstrations (Aviation):
 Equip Technosky’s aircraft with a GNSS navigation platform
 LPV Procedure Design for Çanakkale airport
 Support Telespazio for the demonstrations plan definition
 Perform database coordination
 Support ANSP’s for the installation of ground static receivers

Design of LPV in Çanakkale (I)
 Process divided in several phases:
 EGNOS performances in the region (use of MEDACON Data)
 Revision of Çanakkale AIP data information
 Coordinated design with DHMI team
 Chart generation

Design of LPV in Çanakkale (I) - MEDaCoN (I)
MEDACoN: another METIS demo composed by a network of data collection stations in the
MEDA Area providing information about the status and the performances of EGNOS over the
region

Design of LPV in Çanakkale (VI)
CURRENT PUBLISHED NPA (VOR) PROCEDURE
PROPOSED LPV APPROACH PROCEDURE
 Compared to current NPA published procedures in Çanakkale, LPV offers:
 Vertical guidance allowing continuous descent profile
— Benefits in terms of engine noise and pollution
 Reduction in the operational minima of more than 900 ft (~270 metres)
 Independence from ground navaids

Database coding process
 LPV procedure is defined by a Final Approach Segment Data Block (FAS DB)
with a Channel Number identifier:
 The FAS DB is a set of parameters to identify a single LPV during the
coding and define its associated approach path (including a CRC reminder)
 The Channel Number consists on 5 numeric characters in the range 40000
to 99999 to identify an individual approach during operation
 This data is provided to database coders (Jeppesen) to insert it in their
systems
 Receiver manufacturers (Garmin)
build the receiver’s database

Results and Lessons Learnt from the trials at
Çanakkale (I)
 Heritages from previous EU projects (Valencia, San Sebastian, Nice, Sion,
Clermont-Ferrand...) re-used and adapted for this location
 1st day: 5th November 2009
 Intermittent LPV (APV 1) service in the area (edge of EGNOS coverage)
 All attempts ending with an ‘Abort Approach’ message in the receiver’s
display
 2nd day: 6th November 2009
 Nice performance of EGNOS SIS
 5 approaches flown successfully
