tabling member constituency	Welwyn Hatfield
tabling member printed	Grant Shapps
uin	251276
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>Global Navigation Satellite System approaches are one element of performance based navigation (PBN). An amendment to EU Regulation 1178/2011 (the Aircrew Regulation), which came into force in 2018, provides that pilots may only fly in accordance with PBN procedures if they hold an instrument rating with PBN privileges. The Aircrew Regulation establishes the training required to obtain PBN privileges. From 25 August 2020, all applicants for an instrument rating will be required to have undertaken PBN training.</p><p> </p><p>Training requirements will be reviewed as and when the carriage and use of other new technologies are mandated. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority is continuing to engage with the European Aviation Safety Agency to expand training on the use of satellite based technology to help reduce airspace infringements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:24:03 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
