Abstract :
▪ Background — Performance Based Navigation (PBN) ▪ Cornerstone of the FAA´s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) ▪ Improvements in navigation precision pave the way for re-evaluating current standards — E.g., terminal divergence standard (15 degrees) ▪ In 2010, MITRE developed the Equivalent Lateral Spacing Operation (ELSO) standard concept — ELSO enables reduced-divergence departure operations ▪ In 2011, The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) implemented RNAV ELSO departure procedures — Operational demonstration of the ELSO concept ▪ In 2013, FAA started Document Change Proposal (DCP) process.
