STAATSKOERANT, 19 MEI 2017 No. 40847 399 infrastructure. In that context, the PBN concept represents a shift from sensor-based to performance based navigation. Performance requirements are identified in navigation specifications, which also identify the choice of navigation sensors and equipment that may be used to meet the performance requirements. Under PBN, generic navigation requirements are defined based on operational requirements where after operators evaluate navigation solution options allowing the solution to be the most cost effective for the operator as opposed to a solution being established as part of the operational requirements. PBN offers a number of advantages over the sensor-specific method of developing airspace and obstacle clearance criteria, including a reduction in the need to maintain sensor-specific routes and procedures and their associated costs, negates the need for development of sensor-specific operations with each new navigation system and will allow for more efficient use of airspace, e.g., route placement, fuel efficiency, noise abatement, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, etc. The ATM Operational Concept is intended to give distinct benefits for all members of the ATM community and sets the scene for the policy formulation to follow 8.3 ESTABLISHMENT OF AIRSPACE (a) Background ICAO has as its aim the development of the principles and techniques of international air navigation so as to ensure, inter alia, the safe and orderly growth of international civil aviation. Accordingly, ICAO provides SARPs for the operation of international air navigation. South Africa, as signatory to the Chicago Convention, and thus a member of ICAO, is obliged to comply with these SARPs. The Annexes and other documentation that are specifically relevant to airspace matters include amongst others the following: Annex 1 : Personnel Licensing; Annex 2: Rules of the Air; Annex 3: Meteorological Services for International Air Navigation, Annex 4: Aeronautical Charts; Annex 5: Units of Measurement to be Used in Air and Ground Operations; Annex 10: Aeronautical Telecommunications; Annex 11: Air Traffic Services; Annex 12: Search and Rescue; Annex 14: Aerodrome Design Standards and associated Airport Planning Manual; ICAO Doc. 4444 - PANS-ATM; and ICAO Doc 9426 - ATS Planning Manual. The Civil Aviation Act provides that the Minister of Transport is responsible for carrying out the provisions of the Chicago Convention, which forms part of this Act. In terms of the Civil Aviation Act, the Minister appoints a functionary and delegates the function of White Paper on National Civil Aviation Policy: February 2017 62
