EUROCONTROL, GSA Working to Coordinate Aviation R&D, Standardize Regulations

The European GNSS Agency (GSA) together with air traffic management organization EUROCONTROL jointly held the 16th meeting of the RNP Approach Implementation Support Group (RAISG) together with the Aviation Grants program workshop at the GSA’s Prague headquarters. The two-day meeting last month featured an interesting blend of presentations and roundtable discussions focused on required navigation performance (RNP) approach implementation and sharing experience and project implementation of different GSA co-funded aviation projects fostering EGNOS adoption in aviation. As of March 2019, 617 EGNOS-based approach procedures are operational at 326 airports in 23 countries, of which 324 procedures are localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) and 169 are LPV-200, according to a GSA press release.
