What should the pilot-in-command prepare to do in case of a PBN contingency, and which conditions should be considered?

The pilot-in-command should make the necessary preparation to revert to a conventional arrival procedure where appropriate. Conditions to consider include: failure of navigation system components including navigation sensors, and a failure affecting flight technical error (e.g. failures of the flight director or autopilot); multiple system failures affecting aircraft performance; coasting on inertial sensors beyond a specified time limit; and RAIM (or equivalent) alert or loss of integrity function.

Who should the pilot-in-command notify about any problem with PBN capability?

The pilot-in-command should notify ATC of any problem with PBN capability.

Which specific navigation system failures are listed as conditions to consider for reverting to a conventional arrival procedure?

Failure of navigation system components including navigation sensors, and a failure affecting flight technical error (e.g. failures of the flight director or autopilot) are listed conditions.

What is the recommended action when there is a RAIM alert or loss of integrity function?

The pilot-in-command should consider this condition when preparing to revert to a conventional arrival procedure, and in the event of loss of PBN capability, invoke contingency procedures and navigate using an alternative means of navigation.

How should the pilot-in-command handle a situation where inertial sensors are coasting beyond a specified time limit?

This condition should be considered when making preparation to revert to a conventional arrival procedure, and if it leads to loss of PBN capability, the pilot-in-command should invoke contingency procedures and navigate using an alternative means of navigation.

Q: What actions should the pilot-in-command take in the event of loss of PBN capability?

The pilot-in-command should invoke contingency procedures and navigate using an alternative means of navigation.

Q: In the event of communication failure during a PBN operation, what should the pilot-in-command do?

The pilot-in-command should continue with the operation in accordance with published lost communication procedures.

ED Decision 2016/018/R

CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

(a) The pilot-in-command should make the necessary preparation to revert to a conventional arrival procedure where appropriate. The following conditions should be considered:

(1) failure of the navigation system components including navigation sensors, and a failure effecting flight technical error (e.g. failures of the flight director or autopilot);

(2) multiple system failures affecting aircraft performance;

(3) coasting on inertial sensors beyond a specified time limit; and

(4) RAIM (or equivalent) alert or loss of integrity function.

(b) In the event of loss of PBN capability, the pilot-in-command should invoke contingency procedures and navigate using an alternative means of navigation.

(d) In the event of communication failure, the pilot-in-command should continue with the operation in accordance with published lost communication procedures.
