As the international air traffic increases and becomes more and more complex there is a growing demand for new operational procedures. Noise and terrain issues are considered more often. The proceeding integration of satellite navigation into aviation is paving the way for more flexible and complex approach procedures. This briefing describes the operation of a GBAS ground station by the Institute of Flight Guidance of the German Aerospace Centre and the operational research regarding segmented steep and curved approach procedures as well as taxi guidance based on GBAS.
