Yep, it’s hard …


>>> … TO KEEP UP. Here’s why. Since ADS-C and CPDLC came on the scene, >>> OTHER STUFF To get into the best airspace – the PBCS
ATC can run airplanes tighter together (RLAT =25nm, and Rlong =5 mins NAT Tracks between 350-390 – you need to have all
in trail) and that means more requirements in CNS – Comms, Nav, the datalink goodies (ADS-C and CPDLC) as well as
Surveillance. The Nav part is easy – that’s RNP - and RNP10 is the new RCP240 and RSP180. You need TCAS 7.1 everywhere. No
minimum in NAT HLA. For the other two, PBCS covers the minimum exceptions. You need RVSM between FL290-410
requirements for Comms – RCP240 means a 4 minute loop from the inclusive, but you can climb/descend through the HLA
controller spotting a conflict to the airplane completing the resulting without it. You must have HF to enter the Shanwick
manoeuvre, and for Surveillance, RSP180 means position reporting within OCA. You need HLA APPROVAL to enter NAT HLA
3 minutes. airspace.
