Current GNSS Operational Approvals
The current Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Global Positioning System (GPS) operational approvals in Australia, are as follows. These approvals are supported by comprehensive training material jointly developed by Airservices and CASA:
i."supplemental means" enroute (implemented August 1994, by Aeronautical Information Publication Supplement (AIP SUP) H18/94);
ii."primary means" enroute and GPS arrivals (implemented December 1995, by AIP SUP H50/95);
iii."primary means" oceanic and remote areas (implemented 1 January 1998, by AIP SUP H2/98); and
iv.runway aligned, standalone, "supplemental means" non-precision approaches (NPAs) (implemented 29 January 1998, by AIP SUP H1/98).
These separate approvals have now been incorporated into the Aeronautical Information Publication amendment issued in August 2000.
