PERFORMANCE-BASED APPROACH FOR GLOBAL AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
PERFORMANCE BASED APPROACH
• Notion of Performance Based Approach (PBA) emanated from good industry practices and evolution of aviation
industry into a less regulated and more corporatized environment, with greater accountability.
• ICAO Supports and encourages the global adoption of performance management techniques as a step towards
a performance based Global Air Navigation System as envisaged in the Global Air Traffic Management Operational
Concept (Doc 9854) and related ATM System Requirements Supporting the Global Air Traffic Management
Operational Concept (Doc 9882)
PRINCIPLES
•PBA is based on following three principles
–Strong focus on desired/required results: In stead of prescribing solutions, desired/required performanceis
specified. It implies finding what the current situation is, what the most appropriate result should be, as well as
clarifying who is accountable for achieving those results
–Informed decision making, driven by desired/required results: Means working backwards from the
¡°what (result)¡± –the primary focus –to decisions about ¡°how¡±.
–Reliance on facts and data for decision making: Desired/required results, drivers, constraints, shortcomings, options expressed in quantitative terms (not in qualitative terms). Rationale ¡®if you can¡¯t measure it, you can¡¯t
manage it¡¯..............................
