PBN (Performance-Based Navigation)

Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) is a modern method of air navigation that enhances the safety and efficiency of flights. Instead of relying solely on traditional ground-based navigational aids, PBN uses advanced satellite systems and on-board technology to determine an aircraft's precise position. This allows pilots to fly more direct routes, reducing flight times and fuel consumption. PBN improves air traffic management by enabling planes to operate safely in crowded skies and challenging terrains, making air travel smoother and more environmentally friendly.
