ABSTRACT

EUROCONTROL member states approach to address the implementation of instrument procedures at uncontrolled aerodromes using GNSS is not uniform. Two basic concepts can be identified, namely the implementation of IFR procedures on instrument runways and the implementation of so-called Cloud Break Procedures. For these concepts, their pros and cons are determined. Thereafter, an analysis of the attitude of EUROCONTROL member states to implement these approaches is performed. It can be deducted from the results that, despite the unity of Europe, each state is autonomous and solves the operation in its own way. This situation is a major obstacle to the development of aviation in Europe, as there is no single path to be followed.
