    Performance-based Navigation (PBN) uses path terminators assigned to RNAV procedures to translate charted flight paths into computer language for aircraft flight management systems. Path terminators define segments of procedures as sequences of legs in an airborne navigation database using standardized terminators like Radius to Fix to specify curved flight paths through fixes or points connected by arcs of a set radius and length. PBN allows charted procedures to be programmed into the flight management system to guide automatic or manual flying along RNAV and RNP routes.

    Performance -based Navigation (PBN)

    19
    Path terminators are assigned to all RNAV SID, STAR and approach procedure segments in an
    airborne navigation database

    This allows translating into computer language (FMS) the procedures designed for clock &
    compass manual flight

    Charted procedures are translated into a sequence of ARINC 424 legs in the database

    There are 23 different path terminators defined in ARINC 424. Those which can be expected in
    RNAV or RNP charts are depicted on Figure 19.13.

    Fixed Radius Paths


    There are two types of FIXED RADIUS PATHS

    Radius to Fix (RF)

    Specific curved path radius in a terminal or approach procedure

    Is defined by radius, arc length, and fix
