A milestone achieved for ECARO project funded by GSA under the programme EGNOS Adoption in Aviation.

Last 11/01/2021 ENAV completed the GNSS flight validation of an EGNOS-based approach procedure for the Grottaglie airport. The procedure, similar to an ILS Cat.I in terms of performance,will be published on AIP in the next months and so available for all airspace users. The procedure is a relevant experimental asset for the Grottaglie airport where a number of flight trials are already planned in the years 2021/22 and nested in national and EU research and innovation projects led, or participated, by DTA.
