Thursday 19 February and a presentation on PBN – Performance based Navigation.
Rob Grant from ICAO is in Namibia to assist with the implementation of PBN. The presentation attracted mostly a number of staff from air operators. It was sad to see that only one representative from Air Navigation Services turned up.
Rob described the road forward…
…and what is expected to be implemented in Namibia. Most interesting and promising!
After Rob’s presentation, Tom Grant took over. Tom is also from ICAO and is in Namibia to assist with setting up a project to move from NDCA (Namibia Directorate of Civil Aviation) to NCAA (Namibia Civil Aviation Authority).
The basis of this transformation are International requirements and the need to modernise the Civil Aviation legislation.
Tom gave a brief introduction to what is the expected outcome of the change…
…and also informed of the current status. It actually seems likely that the new Aviation Act will be implemented soon!
Toms presentation ended with questions from the audience. There are high expectations but also some worries. Expect more information on the progress of both PBN and CAA implementation in the near future!
