Web application for validating GNSS-based performance-based navigation (PBN) procedures
Ground and flight validation of PBN procedures
MagicIFP is a web application service that enables you to conduct the required ground and flight validation activities on your PBN procedures to ensure they comply with ICAO recommendations and requirements.
The primary objectives of MagicIFP are to:
Perform ground validation of PBN requirements.
Support flight validation of PBN procedures
Procedures
Compatible PBN procedures: RNP approaches (all minimum), RNAV (GNSS) SID, RNAV (GNSS) STAR
Developed in accordance with the most recent ICAO recommendations and requirements for PBN procedure design, coding and validation.
The user defines the instrument flight procedure (IFP) to be analyzed on the application's user interface.
The desired aircraft path is calculated on the basis of the ARINC 424 path terminators used in the IFP design, the ICAO PANS-OPS design rules, and the RTCA requirements applicable to SBAS avionics.
The aircraft’s flyable trajectory is simulated taking into account an accredited aircraft performance database.
Ground and flight validation reports describing all checks run to validate the ICAO recommendations and requirements are generated automatically.
Ground and flight validation KML files are also generated automatically to enable users to analyze other relevant points (e.g., terrain and airspace).
The procedure design and coding are reviewed to ensure compliance with PANS-OPS and ARINC 424 requirements.
The user defines the flight scenarios in terms of aircraft model, initial aircraft state (weight, IAF [initial approach fix], altitude,
