Concept

Advanced PANS-OPS training provides foundational knowledge for designing instrument flight procedures based on ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS-OPS), focusing on obstacle clearance, departure, arrival, and approach segments (precision, 3-D and non-precision) using PBN navigation.

Learning outcomes

Having completed the course, the student should be familiar with PBN concepts and be able to design RNP-APCH procedures, including Baro VNAV and SBAS approaches.

A final examination covering both theoretical knowledge and practical application evaluates each student.
