Naverus Designs PBN Procedures At Lhasa

Naverus has concluded an agreement with Air China to design Performance-based Navigation (PBN) procedures for the carrier’s Airbus A330s at Lhasa Gonggar airport.

The new procedures, which incorporate Required Navigation Performance (RNP) technology, will provide all-weather access and improved safety at one of the highest-elevation airports in China’s Tibet Autonomous Region.

The contract marks the eighth PBN project Naverus has undertaken for Air China and the sixth set of RNP procedures Naverus has been contracted to provide for the Lhasa Airport.

In addition to Lhasa, Naverus has designed PBN procedures for Chinese airlines at Linzhi, Bangda and Jiuzhaigou airports in the Tibet Autonomous Region and Sichuan Province. The company also is developing RNP approach and departure procedures at Kangding airport in Sichuan Province and Zhangiiajie airport in Hunan Province.
