<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>
