... PBN Components | 5 2 PBN Components T he key components of PBN are enabling technologies that include navigation aids for aircraft, aircraft navigation capabilities based on equipage, and the PBN procedures themselves. The ground-based and airborne navigation technologies are leveraged in the implementation of different types of PBN procedures used for specific applications.
From page 8...
... 6 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) IRU is a system on board the aircraft to estimate the position of the aircraft via cumulative measurements of aircraft motion from a given initial position.

... PBN Components | 7 Table 2-2. Navigation capabilities for PBN procedures.
From page 10...
... 8 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION CAPABILITY DESCRIPTION RNP Authorization Required (AR) An RNP AR flight procedure requires advanced aircraft navigation capabilities and crew procedures to conduct the flight procedure.
From page 11...
... PBN Components | 9 TYPE DESCRIPTION AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES RNAV 1 Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) RNAV 1 STARs are procedures for aircraft arriving to an airport.
From page 12...
... 10 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION TYPE DESCRIPTION AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES Required Navigation Performance (RNP) 1 STARs and SIDs RNP 1 STARs and SIDs may be implemented to meet local needs for procedural separation of airport arrivals or departures from other traffic or obstacles in the airspace.

... PBN Components | 11 Table 2-4 Continued TYPE DESCRIPTION AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES RNAV Required Navigation Performance (RNP) 0.3 RNAV RNP 0.3 SIAPs are non-precision approach procedures with vertical guidance.
From page 14...
... 12 | UNDERSTANDING THE AIRPORT'S ROLE IN PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION Table 2-4 Continued TYPE DESCRIPTION AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES RNP Approval Required (AR) RNP AR approaches include unique capabilities that require special aircraft and aircrew authorization similar to ILS CAT II/III operations.
