Jeppesen Receives Certification to Design Instrument Flight Procedures in Australia
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Apr. 22 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Jeppesen has been granted certification by the Civil Aviation Safety
Authority (CASA) of Australia to design, validate and maintain instrument
flight procedures. The certification, granted under CASR Part 173, authorizes
Jeppesen to create Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures such as
Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Special Aircraft and Aircrew
Authorization Required (SAAAR) as well as conventional VOR, ILS and RNAV
procedures.
In order to qualify for the certification, Jeppesen documented its
capabilities and expertise for CASA. This included submitting multiple
examples of each procedure type for which certification was sought and a
review of training records and credentials documenting that Jeppesen's
procedure design staff meets CASA requirements for chief designers and acting
chief designers.
"Certification from CASA allows Jeppesen to bring its expertise and
comprehensive procedure design solutions to the Australian aviation market,"
said Sandy Stedman, vice-president, Government and Industry Affairs for
Jeppesen. "CASA's support and guidance were invaluable as we sought
certification."
Jeppesen is the only third-party provider certified to deliver both PBN
and conventional procedures in Australia. With this certification, Jeppesen
will design public procedures that improve access across the spectrum. Access
to underserved airports in Australia will be improved and, at the same time,
availability of public use procedures will improve airspace system
efficiencies at major airports throughout Australia.
Jeppesen holds similar procedure design certification from the US Federal
Aviation Administration, and has experience designing PBN and conventional
procedures in other regions, including China, Taiwan, New Zealand and Panama.
Jeppesen procedure design services are ISO 9001 certified.
