FLIGHT VALIDATION

(a)     Flight validation may be required if:

(1)     the fly-ability of a procedure cannot be determined by other means;

(2)     the procedure contains non-standard design elements (deviations from criteria e.g. non-standard approach angles/gradients, non-standard segment lengths, speeds, bank angles, etc.);

(3)     the accuracy and/or integrity of obstacle and terrain data cannot be determined by other means;

(4)     new procedures differ significantly from existing procedures; and

(5)     helicopter PinS procedures are to be deployed.

(b)     ICAO Doc 9906 Volume 5 ‘Validation of Instrument Flight Procedures’ provides further guidance for the flight validation.
