– Eligibility and Award criteria
– Administrative aspects
2
3. Scope and Objectives of the call
Objective:
Award a number of grants to foster EGNOS operational implementation for
civil aviation in all market segments (Regional Aviation, Business Aviation,
General Aviation and rotorcraft) with a final aim to maximise public benefits,
increase and foster a network effect on current and future development of
EGNOS enabled operations
Scope:
Foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS
based operations (including LPV200)
Development and/or installation of GPS/EGNOS enabled avionics and
appropriate airworthiness certification
Approval of Air Operator Certificate for LPV operations of aircraft already
equipped with SBAS capabilities
Development of enablers to accelerate EGNOS adoption and preparation for
futures capabilities
3
4. The Call is structured in
6 Areas of activities
4
RNP APCH procedures to LPV minima based on EGNOS
PinS Procedures to LPV minima based on EGNOS
Aircraft or rotorcraft forward fit
Aircraft or rotorcraft retro fit
Development of Service Bulletin and/or Supplemental Type Certificate
Other EGNOS based operations and development of Enablers

5. Areas of activities (I)
Approach Procedures Implementation
Design, development and publication of EGNOS LPV
procedures (at European airports). Implementation of
LPV200 can also be considered
Typical activities may include:
Procedure design
Safety Assessment
Ground and Flight validation
Training for ATC and/or pilots
Focus on helicopter Point in Space approach operations
serving heliports, helipads or oilrigs, possibly designed as
Simultaneous Non Interfering (SNI) Approaches
RNP APCH procedures to LPV minima
PinS Procedures to LPV minima
5
A
B
Expected output: operational implementation of EGNOS based
procedures
6. Areas of activities (II)
Aircraft upgrade
Focus on development of SBAS LPV capability in new aircraft models and/or entry into
operation
Certain aircraft manufacturers may include the SBAS LPV capability as an optional
package in some of their models.
This area supports development and acquisition of such SBAS LPV options.
Aircraft or rotorcraft forward fit
Focus on in-service aircraft/rotorcraft not certified to perform LPV procedures
Two scenarios:
1. Airframes equipped with EGNOS LPV avionics but without a LPV operational
approval: funding for operational approval;
2. Airframes not equipped with EGNOS LPV avionics: in addition, costs related to
hardware acquisition, hardware installation and certification could be funded.
Aircraft or rotorcraft retro fit
C
D
Expected output: LPV operational approval from the relevant Authority
C&D Proposals shall contribute to track actual EGNOS based performed approaches
7. Areas of activities (III)
Avionics solutions
Aircraft or rotorcraft manufacturers may generate Service Bulletins (SBs) to include SBAS
LPV capabilities in some of their models. These improvements are usually offered to
customers as optional items.
This area will fund development of SBs involving SBAS LPV.
Service Bulletin
Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) are major modifications to an existing type
certified aircraft. STCs are usually developed, designed and owned by non-TC holders
(Part-21 EASA approved organisations).
This area funds development of STCs, involving SBAS LPV
Supplemental Type Certificate
7
E
Expected output: SB and STC commercially available
8. Areas of activities (IV)
Enablers and other EGNOS based operations
Any activity that addresses the development of enablers to accelerate EGNOS
adoption and its operational use by civil aviation
Possible activities: (not limited list)
Development of RNP 0.3 routes where GNSS prediction is replaced by EGNOS
Advanced RNP (A-RNP) using SBAS
Localizer Performance approaches (LP)
Use of EGNOS for RPAS robust and safe navigation, aligned with the EU
standardization roadmap
Enablers, such as: flight simulators for training purposes, flight validation
tools…
8
F
Expected output: Commercially available enabler and/or
operational implementation of the new EGNOS based
operation (including a demonstration)
9. Eligibility criteria
