... 20 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION Impact of PBN on Airports4 T his chapter summarizes the impacts that PBN procedures may have on airports and the local airspace. In general, there are many potential benefits to implementing PBN procedures, de-pending on the particular application and the design.

... Impact of PBN on Airports | 21 PBN PROCEDURE CHARACTERISTIC IMPACT ON AIRPORT Procedurally separated traffic flows May increase airport throughput by eliminating this constraint on traffic flow. However, the shifted routes and altitude profiles may change the characteristics of noise exposure on the surrounding community, and the throughput increase may increase occurrence of noise events.
