RNAV Validation Tool

The RNAV Validation Tool is a desktop application to help procedure designers in the ground validation of new or modified RNAV SIDs and STARs. Validation is a key step between the design and the implementation of RNAV procedures. The RNAV Validation Tool provides a user friendly, cost effective method of ground validation.

The user inputs the procedure to be checked and the tool automatically carries out the following routines:

• Check of path terminator sequences and appropriate use at start and end of the procedure
• Check of input bearings and distances for each leg against those calculated using waypoint co-ordinates
• Check that sufficient data has been provided to define each leg
• Check that the track angle change at each waypoint is within bounds
• Check that the distance between the waypoints is not too small

The tool includes a simulator for flyability tests. A range of Cat B, C and D transport aircraft are modeled and different meteorological conditions (wind and temperature) can also be selected. The resulting trajectories can be displayed on a 3D globe and in a profile view. The 3D Globe view can be rotated, tilted and enlarged.
