: Providing design rules for the five segments of an instrument approach: arrival, initial, intermediate, final, and missed approach.
: Protecting the transition from instrument flight to visual landing. Latest Updates
: Establishing parameters for turn areas, including wind spirals and bank angles, to ensure aircraft stay within protected airspace. Icao Doc 8168 Vol 2
: Designing for traditional ground-based aids like VOR, NDB, and ILS.
: Modern criteria for GPS and area navigation, including RNP (Required Navigation Performance) and Baro-VNAV. : Providing design rules for the five segments
, formally titled "Construction of Visual and Instrument Flight Procedures," is the essential technical manual for procedure design specialists. While Volume I is designed for flight crews, Volume II provides the complex mathematical criteria and obstacle clearance requirements needed to build safe, regular instrument flight operations worldwide. Core Purpose and Scope
Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) - Aircraft Operations : Designing for traditional ground-based aids like VOR,
: Specific rules for straight and turning departures, often requiring minimum climb gradients (typically 3.3%) to clear obstacles.
