When it's time to fly PBN, operators look to GE for the daily support that permits flight operations. GE Operator Support Services provide the aircraft operator with the tools needed to fly a PBN network.
Operators using RNP procedures are required to obtain a forecast of RNP availability for intended airports of operation. The Naverus, Inc. RNP Availability Forecast Service (NRAFS) meets this requirement by providing worldwide RNP availability forecasting – specific to an operator's aircraft – as a means to prevent the dispatch of aircraft when satellite availability of RNP may be degraded. The delivery of NRAFS can be customized to the operator's requirements, providing seamless integration into existing dispatch systems.
The links below provide more information about the requirements for NRAFS (or an equivalent) before dispatching an aircraft on an RNP flight path.
PBN operations require the routine validation of digital navigation data. Our navigation data management services compare the data being loaded into the aircraft's flight management system to the data contained in the original procedure design. This process ensures that valid, accurate data is always in use by the operator.
