On March 26, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Civil Aviation Administration of China signed a Letter of Intent to establish a CAAC-ICAO Office of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) Procedures for the Asia-Pacific region.
The office’s establishment will promote the development of PBN flights throughout Asia through the provision of technical support and exchange of know-how. The CAAC’s leadership therefore has attached great importance to this office. CAAC Deputy Administrator Wang Changshun said that by basing the office in China the ICAO has cast a vote of confidence on the country’s development in civil aviation. This will in turn help China to further its command of PBN technologies. In signing the letter of Intent, ICAO’s Air Navigation Bureau Director Nancy Jean Graham said she has every confidence in the development of PBN procedures in China and Asia at large.
