Title:
Where Did the VOR and NDB Go?
Topic:
VOR and NDB Decommissioning
Speaker(s):
Craig Patterson
Brief Description:
The FAA determined it would be financially unsustainable to retain both the ground-based infrastructure that has made up the en route navigation system for the past seven decades and implement a system based on Performance Based Navigation (PBN). PBN offers increased efficiency, fuel savings, and off-route or point-to-point operations. It was clear that a drawdown of conventional NAVAIDs would be required; however, it would also be necessary to retain a core network to allow navigation should the satellite constellation become unavailable.
Navigational Aid decommissioning processes will be discussed.
