Instrument Flight Procedures (IFP) provide access to aerodromes under a wide variety of meteorological conditions and enhance safety by providing standard procedures for pilots and air traffic control. Due to evolving navigation technology, growing air traffic as well as environmental demands, IFP design is becoming a more and more complex task.
Obstacle clearance is the primary safety consideration. The ICAO Document 8168 PANS-OPS specifies the detailed criteria for the requirements of instrument flight procedures and their protection
This course provides a comprehensive overview of flight procedure design and obstacle clearance criteria specified in ICAO PANS-OPS. Attendees will learn to understand instrument flight procedures, which will help them to interpret published approach and departure procedures.
