PBCS framework
• Provision of air traffic services and prescription of RCP and RSP for relevant communication and surveillance capabilities (Annexes 11 and 15)‐ Annex 11 provisions also include a requirement that the ATS equipment must
meet RCP/RSP criteria
• Approval of air operators for a communication and/or surveillance capability including aircraft equipage for operations where RCP and/or RSP specifications have been prescribed (Annex 6)
• Indication of an aircraft’s communication and surveillance capability in the form of RCP/RSP specifications in the flight plan (PANS‐ATM)
• Monitoring programmes to assess actual communication and surveillance performance against RCP and RSP specifications and to determine corrective action, as applicable, for the appropriate entity (Annexes 6 and 11)

Consequential amendment
PfA to Annex 15• Require RCP and RSP specifications in AIP
PfA to PANS‐ABC (Doc 8400)• Add terms PBC, PBS and RSP

Overview
• Developed based on the RCP Manual (Doc 9869), GOLD, SVGM and other regional material
• Expanded the scope to include: – PBCS concept and surveillance capability– RCP and RSP specifications;– information and guidance provided from several workshops held in
the regions; and – material from PIRG meetings and their contributory groups
• Mature draft is available, but will need to be aligned to the final outcomes of PfA– Incorporate any changes necessary to support the final provisions as
approved by the Council
