Dirk explained the fundamental concepts of this navigation method, highlighting that, unlike traditional navigation methods that rely on conventional radio aids such as VOR or NDB, PBN is based on systems onboard the aircraft, such as GNSS, DME/DME, and inertial systems, among others.

The benefits of PBN translate into the ability to operate direct flight paths, which helps reduce fuel consumption, mitigate environmental impacts, increase the precision of procedures, and enhance air traffic capacity.  Furthermore, this method improves operational safety levels and implements enhanced noise abatement procedures. 

Dirk mentions: “The amount of air traffic has increased exponentially in recent years; however, the dimensions of airspace remain the same, which is why it is necessary to implement new navigation procedures that allow for broader exploitation and increase the capacity of that airspace.”

With real-world examples from complex airports like Tegucigalpa (MHTG) in Honduras, Cuzco (SPZO) in Peru, or Kathmandu (VNKT) in Nepal, Dirk demonstrated technical applications where the use of PBN is essential.

Designs for standardized arrival procedures, such as the Point Merge System (PMS), were studied to avoid excessive vectoring and reduce the amount of communication on frequency. He also taught the appropriate phraseology in Spanish and English to future air traffic controllers to implement in PBN operations.

We hope this session has contributed to enriching their military careers and inspired the next generation of air traffic controllers.
