Naverus Registered As ICAO Supplier

Naverus said it has been formally registered as an ICAO supplier of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) services. With the designation, ICAO can refer member PBN requests to Naverus.

PBN procedures enable aircraft to fly precisely-defined paths without relying on ground-based navaids. Naverus, based in Kent, Wash., provides a set of PBN solutions designed to improve airspace efficiency.

The Naverus portfolio includes the design and deployment of PBN procedures according to ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services-Aircraft Operations (PANS-OPS), FAA and Naverus criteria. The company also supports organizations in implementing PBN procedures and provides maintenance and support services for PBN procedures.

(Editor’s Note: Steve Fulton, Naverus chief technical officer, will participate in the Avionics Magazine Webinar, “Required Navigation Performance: Operations and Equipment,” June 30 at noon ET. For more information, see www.aviationtoday.com/webinars/2009-0630.html#1)
