Instrument Flight Procedures, Jens Gjerlev

Instrument Flight Procedures - PANS OPS and PBN for Instrument Rating and ATPL will give you understanding of the design criteria as laid down in ICAO Doc 8168 PANS-OPS. It will give you guidance on how to fly the procedures in accordance with assumptions in PANS-OPS.

A major section of the book is dedicated to Performance Based Navigation - PNB - with thorough explanations of all operational aspects of flying RNAV- and FMS-based procedures, including navigation database issues.

The book explains ICAO Doc 9613 PBN Manual. It meets the European EASA syllabus for PANS-OPS, GNSS and PBN for the Instrumental Rating and ATPL, but the text has global relevance.

The book includes examples of conventional and PBN approach procedures, explaining their design, the charts, the associated database coding and how to fly them.

Poing-in-Space procedures for helicopters are also covered.

The book is richly illustrated.
