Report ESSP for
January 2009

APV Approach with vertical guidance

EGNOS Programme
Status
EGNOS is already broadcasting signals of excellent quality
2009:
Assets have been transferred from ESA to the European Community
in April 2009
First EGNOS operator contract as of 1st April 2009
OS declaration of "entry into service" planned for late 2009
EC has finalized the procurement and lease of an EGNOS
transponder to replace ARTEMIS as of 2011
Procurement action ongoing for replacement of 2nd EGNOS
transponder
Geographical service extension is under study

2010:
SOL declaration of "entry into service" planned for mid-2010 (after
certification milestone)
EC intends to launch tests to demonstrate the added value of
EGNOS for different market segments

applications starting early 2010

EGNOS Extensions
Eastern
Europe

Middle-East

MEDA

Depending on the extension area, technical implementation may vary

from:
Homogeneous extension with deployment of additional RIMS
Regional infrastructure including additional processing capabilities

Aviation was first to

recognise EGNOS benefits
(mostly GA and smaller airports)

EGNOS enables a reduction

in the decision height

EGNOS competitive space

General operational benefits

Reduction in angle of
approach (direct and
Allows for IFR-like operation in non ILS-equipped airports
curved)
Increase
in airports
capacity
lateral
guidance
Better
Increase in safety
Increase in flight capability (e.g. helicopters)
Expensive land based navaids can be avoided
Enables their long term decommissioning => lower terminal
charges
