... PBN Implementation | 17 AR procedures were a significant differentiator among aircraft operators due to their aircraft equipage and crew training requirements. While some carriers have fleets entirely equipped for and regularly use RNP AR procedures, others were not equipped for them and had no plans to equip for them in the near future.

... 18 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION Mixed Equipage of Aircraft at Airports As indicated in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2, equipage levels among aircraft vary and will continue to vary for the foreseeable future. The varying capabilities of aircraft operating in the NAS are referred to as "mixed equipage." Mixed equipage presents a barrier for the realization of full NextGen capability and benefits throughout the NAS.

... PBN Implementation | 19 • Using CDTI enabled by ADS-B to allow visual separation in IFR conditions; • Using collision risk management criteria to determine separation standards; • Using digital air/ground communications to achieve more efficient traffic flow; and, • Achieving efficiencies through development and application of systemwide information management. In addition to strategies for managing mixed equipage, utilization of PBN procedures also depends on the tactical management of mixed equipage traffic.
