FOREWORD
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Aircraft Operations (PANS-OPS) consists of three volumes as follows:
Volume I — Flight Procedures
Volume II — Construction of Visual and Instrument Flight Procedures
Volume III — Aircraft Operating Procedures
The division of the PANS-OPS into the two volumes was accomplished in 1979 as a result of an extensive amendment to the obstacle clearance criteria and the construction of approach-to-land procedures (Amendments 13 and 14). Prior to 1979, all PANS-OPS material was contained in a single document. Table A shows the origin of amendments together with a list of the principal subjects involved and the dates on which the PANS-OPS and the amendments were approved by the Council and when they became applicable. PANS-OPS, Volume III, applicable in 2018, was created from Part III of Volume I with the intention of separating the provisions related to aircraft operating procedures from the requirements for flying the procedures designed in accordance with the criteria provided in Volume II.
1.2 Volume I — Flight Procedures describes the operational requirements for flying the procedures designed in accordance with the criteria provided in Volume II.
1.3 Volume II — Construction of Visual and Instrument Flight Procedures is intended for the guidance of procedures specialists and describes the essential areas and obstacle clearance requirements for the achievement of safe, regular instrument flight operations. It provides the basic guidelines to States, and those operators and organizations producing instrument flight charts that will result in uniform practices at all aerodromes where instrument flight procedures are carried out.
1.4 Volume III — Aircraft Operating Procedures describes operational procedures recommended for the guidance of flight operations personnel and flight crew.
1.5 All three volumes present coverage of operational practices that are beyond the scope of Standards and Recommended Practices but with respect to which a measure of international uniformity is desirable.
1.6 The design of procedures in accordance with PANS-OPS criteria assumes normal operations. It is the responsibility of the operator to provide contingency procedures for abnormal and emergency operations.
2. COMMENTARY ON THE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN VOLUME II
2.1 Part I — General
2.1.1 This part contains the general criteria that apply to both conventional as well as RNAV and satellite-based procedures.
2.1.2 Section 1 describes the terminology to assist in the interpretation of terms which are used in the procedures and have a particular technical meaning. In some cases, the terms are defined in other ICAO documents. A list of abbreviations is also provided.
2.1.3 Section 2 provides the general criteria that apply to all phases of flight. In Amendment 12 to the 4th edition, criteria for the procedure identification were included.
2.1.4 Section 3 contains the departure procedures. The specifications concerning instrument departure procedures were first developed by the Obstacle Clearance Panel (OCP) in 1983. The material contained in Volume II was prepared for the use of the procedure design specialists and corresponding material for the use of flight operations personnel including flight crews is contained in Volume I.
2.1.5 In 1990 as a result of the work of an air navigation study group, new material was included concerning specifications, procedures and guidance material relating to the simultaneous operations on parallel or near-parallel runways, including the minimum distances between the runways.
2.1.6 Section 4 contains the general arrival and approach procedures. These procedures were first developed by the Operations Division in 1949 and issued in 1951 and have since been amended a number of times. In 1966, the Obstacle Clearance Panel (OCP) was created to update these procedures for application to all types of aeroplanes taking into account requirements for subsonic multi-jet aeroplanes and technical developments with respect to standard radio navigation aids. As a result of this work, instrument approach procedures criteria were completely revised. The new criteria were incorporated in 1979 in the First Edition of Volume II of PANS-OPS (Amendment 13).
2.2 Part II — Conventional procedures
2.2.1 This part describes the procedures for conventional navigation that are specific to the sensor.
2.2.2 Section 1 contains the criteria for precision approaches. The (ILS) precision approaches are more precise than those formerly used for non-precision approach and are based on a scientifically validated method. This has been achieved by means of:
a) a collection of data on aircraft ILS precision approach performance measured during actual instrument meteorological conditions;
b) the development of a mathematical model reflecting the total ILS system performance and the matching of that model against the data collected under a) above;
c) the use of the model to extrapolate ILS precision approach performance in order to establish obstacle assessment surfaces;
d) the development of a model of the missed approach manoeuvre based on aircraft dynamics and matched against observed data, and the use of this model to extrapolate suitable margins for use in conjunction with the approach surfaces described in c); and
e) the combination of the ILS approach and the missed approach mathematical models into an integrated model covering the whole ILS procedure and able to provide an assessment of the risk of collision with obstacles in stated conditions.
2.2.3 A new concept of obstacle clearance for ILS has been incorporated in the new criteria in that the previously used obstacle clearance limit (OCL) concept has been replaced by the new obstacle clearance altitude/height (OCA/H) concept. Three methods of deriving OCA/H values are included which, in turn, involve progressive increases in the degree of sophistication in the treatment and accountability of obstacles. The first two methods employ the use of surfaces and the third uses a collision risk model (CRM) to derive OCA/H. The CRM is designed for use where an evaluation of the specific risk within the obstacle environment is needed to obtain the lowest obstacle clearance values compatible with the required level of safety. A computer programme has been developed for the CRM and is available for use through ICAO.
2.2.4 The precision approach criteria were expanded to MLS category I, II and III in 1994 and GLS category I in 2004.
2.2.5 Section 2 contains the non-precision approach criteria. The obstacle clearance criteria for non-precision approaches, as amended by Amendment 13, have not been developed to the same degree of sophistication as the precision approach obstacle clearance criteria because the level of safety generally associated with the higher operating minima of non-precision approach procedures is already considered to be acceptable. The procedures, therefore, continue to be based upon available experience and the judgements of experts. They, however, were amended to provide a high degree of flexibility designed to assist the procedures specialist in obtaining the maximum operational advantage compatible with safety.
2.2.6 Based mainly on the experience gained by some States during trial application of the new criteria and as a result of the ICAO PANS-OPS workshop series held from 1980-1984, the criteria were amended twice (Amendments 1 and 4). The changes fall into three general categories as follows:
— editorial amendments to ease the understanding of the criteria
— simplification of calculations which have proved, in practice, to contain a high error potential
— removal of discrepancies which could have made the document difficult to apply and operationally penalizing.
Amendment 1 also aligned the presentation of units with Annex 5, Fourth Edition.
2.2.7 Section 3 contains the criteria for en-route operations for VOR and NDB. These criteria were added to the PANS-OPS in 1996. In 2004 simplified criteria were added to allow for less time consuming effort in large airspaces.
2.2.8 Section 4 contains the criteria for holding procedures. Holding procedures were first developed by the Operations Division in 1949 and issued in 1951. A major revision of these procedures was accomplished in 1965 as a result of the work of the Holding Procedures Panel (HOP). The material developed by the HOP was subsequently divided in 1979 and that part of the material concerning holding procedures was incorporated in PANS-OPS, Volume I and the material covering the construction of holding procedures incorporated in Volume II.
2.2.9 In 1982 as a result of the work of the Obstacle Clearance Panel (OCP) new material and changes to the old material were introduced concerning VOR/DME holding, use of holding procedures by helicopters, buffer areas and entry procedures. In 1986, changes were introduced concerning the VOR TO/FROM indication error zone, the minimum usable DME distance and holding speeds, particularly above 4 250 m (14 000 ft).
2.3 Part III — RNAV procedures and satellite based procedures
2.3.1 The first RNAV departure procedures were incorporated in PANS-OPS with the introduction of area navigation (RNAV) departure procedures based on VOR/DME in 1993 arising from the Ninth Meeting of the Obstacle Clearance Panel. Departure procedures for DME/DME, basic GNSS followed in 1998, Procedures for RNP and SBAS departure procedures were introduced in 2001 and 2004 respectively.
Arrival and approach procedures
2.3.2 Similar to the departure procedures, Area navigation (RNAV) criteria for instrument approach procedures were introduced for VOR/DME in 1993. Approach procedures for DME/DME, basic GNSS followed in 1998. Procedures for RNP 0.3 were introduced in 2001. As a result of a CFIT safety initiative, Baro-VNAV criteria based on DME/DME or basic GNSS sensors were included in the document in 2001.
2.3.3 In 2004, GLS Cat I (ILS look alike) criteria based on GBAS receivers were introduced in PANS-OPS. GLS Cat II/III criteria can be expected after the Annex 10 SARPs have been finalized.
2.3.4 The T/Y bar concept was introduced for basic GNSS in 1998 and made applicable for RNAV approach procedures in general in 2004. To facilitate pilots flying a T/Y bar approach, the Terminal Arrival Altitude (TAA) concept was also included.
Holding procedures
2.3.5 Area navigation (RNAV) criteria for holding procedures were included in 1993 arising from the ninth meeting of the Obstacle Clearance Panel. RNP holding procedures were added in 1998. In the 5th edition of PANS-OPS, as a result of the rewrite of PANS-OPS, the VOR/DME criteria were generalized to include DME/DME and basic GNSS as well.
2.4 PART IV — Helicopters
Part IV contains the criteria applicable for Helicopter Point-in-space procedures based on a basic GNSS receiver which were introduced in 2004.
3. STATUS
Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) do not have the same status as Standards and Recommended Practices. While the latter are adopted by Council in pursuance of Article 37 of the Convention and are subject to the full procedure of Article 90, PANS are approved by Council and are recommended to Contracting States for worldwide application.
4. IMPLEMENTATION
The implementation of procedures is the responsibility of Contracting States; they are applied in actual operations only after, and in so far as States have enforced them. However, with a view to facilitating their processing towards implementation by States, they have been prepared in a language which will permit direct use by operations personnel. While uniform application of the basic procedures in this document is very desirable, latitude is permitted for the development of detailed procedures which may be needed to satisfy local conditions.
5. PUBLICATION OF DIFFERENCES
5.1 The PANS do not carry the status afforded to Standards adopted by the Council as Annexes to the Convention and, therefore, do not come within the obligation imposed by Article 38 of the Convention to notify differences in the event of non-implementation.
5.2 However, attention of States is drawn to the provisions of Annex 15 related to the publication in their aeronautical information publications of lists of significant differences between their procedures and the related ICAO procedures.
6. PROMULGATION OF INFORMATION
The establishment and withdrawal of and changes to facilities, services and procedures affecting aircraft operations provided in accordance with the procedures specified in this document should be notified and take effect in accordance with the provisions of Annex 15.
7. UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
Units of measurement are given in accordance with the provisions contained in Annex 5. In those cases where the use of an alternative non-SI unit is permitted, the non-SI unit is shown in brackets immediately following the primary SI unit. In all cases the value of the non-SI unit is considered to be operationally equivalent to the primary SI unit in the context in which it is applied. Unless otherwise indicated, the allowable tolerance (accuracy) is indicated by the number of significant figures given and, in this regard, it is to be understood in this document that all zero digits, either to the right or left of the decimal marker, are significant figures.

The book consists chiefly of reminiscences of the peace conference, by one who was there, with the author’s individual opinions on the events as they transpired and on the personages that took part in them, the whole permeated by a spirit of benevolent imperialism and unshakeable faith in America. Of the six books that make up the volume, Pagans and prophets deals especially with the peace conference personalities; Isles and islanders with Australia, Ireland and the Philippines; High lights and history with the Asiatic side of the war.

Women’s wild oats. *$1.50 (3c) Stokes 396
20–6280
“Essays on the re-fixing of moral standards.” (Sub-title) Of the “hideous abuses” created by three generations of industrialism and brought to a climax by the war, the author is considering those affecting the position and moral standards of women. The book is an attempt to distinguish between a “too ready acceptance of the fashions of the day,” and a “too loyal obedience to the prejudices of yesterday.” Accordingly she would curb the too frantic present day rebelliousness of women by a return to the Jewish ideal of marriage as a religious duty, and praising the perfect feminist ideal inherited by the Jewish women. On the other hand she would facilitate divorce, would lift the burden of illegitimacy from the shoulders of innocent children, and would procure some sort of honorable recognition for sexual partnerships outside of marriage. The essays are: Introductory; The prosperity of fools; The covenant of God; That
which is wanting; “Give, give!” If a child could choose? Foreseeing evil; Conclusion, and appendices.

This child idyll concerns the first eight years of the latest of the Jolyon Forsytes, whose birth was announced toward the close of the author’s novel “In chancery.” Little Jon is a healthy and, in the words of his mother, “loving, lovable, imaginative, sanguinary” little savage, and, so successful in the choice of his parents that he is enabled to live the life prompted by his dramatic instinct. The illustrations by R. H. Sauter are a feature of the book. The story appeared in Scribner’s magazine, November, 1920.

The story is a sequel to the author’s earlier novel, “The man of property,” and relates the further fortunes of the Forsyte family. With one exception the possessive instinct is still strong in the male generation, who include their wives and progeny in their property. Soames Forsyte, after his wife, Irene, had run away with another man lives on into middle life nursing his injuries until he poignantly realizes that he is still without a son to inherit his fortune and his name. Meeting Irene again, after a separation of fifteen years, awakens the old desire to possess her, and failing of her consent, nothing in law is too sordid for him for the attainment of a divorce. Even the family tradition for respectability must go by the board as he forces his cousin Jolyon the one Forsyte that has not run true to type—into the rôle of correspondent. At the end he marries the pretty French girl, whom he does not love, and smothers his disappointment at having a girl child, and no hope of another, in his sense of proprietorship. At least “that thing was his.”

“Most of the characters of ‘In chancery’ are the brooding victims of Mr Galsworthy’s remote wrath Soames’s father, James, is the most free from literary victimisation. Here is an old man drawn with skill, without prejudice, and with that untiring care which is this author’s chief asset as a craftsman. It seems to us that for him our little world is a sick man tossing feverishly upon his bed; Mr Galsworthy, finger on pulse and clinical thermometer in hand, sits patiently by his side, recording the slow sinking towards dissolution.”

GALSWORTHY, JOHN. Plays; 4th ser. *$2.50 Scribner 822
20–9081
The book contains three plays: A bit o ’ love; The foundations; The skin game. In the first play a young clergyman, Michael Strangway, is deserted by his wife, who returns during the first act to plead with her husband not to divorce her out of consideration for the career of her lover. He consents and thereby makes himself impossible with his narrow-minded parishioners. His struggle is between his love as a cosmic manifestation and the essence of Christianity, and his love for the woman, his wrongs and his worldly prospects. When, at the moment of the most hopeless desolation, he has prepared a suicide’s
noose for himself, the cry of a little child for “ a bit o ’ love,” and the brave fight with his sorrow of a brother in affliction, recall him to the world and his stronger self.
“This fourth volume of Mr Galsworthy’s plays is hardly up to the best of his earlier dramatic work. Of the three plays which it contains, ‘The skin game ’ is the most skilfully and convincingly written; but even ‘The skin game ’ leaves us comparatively cold.”

“Of the new plays the first, A bit of love, is undeniably the weakest.... The skin-game has a more timeless touch. It takes the tragicomedy of all human conflict, localizes it narrowly, embodies it
with the utmost concreteness, and yet exhausts its whole significance. Galsworthy has never derived a dramatic action from deeper sources in the nature of man; he has never put forth a more far-reaching idea nor shown it more adequately in terms of flesh and blood.” Ludwig

“He has many gifts, many qualities technical ability, imaginativeness, sympathy, experience of life, ideas, ideals; but the one supreme, essential gift the ability to create living men and women working out their destinies in the grip of fate is not his.

“‘A bit o ’ love’ is in Mr Galsworthy’s weaker vein. ‘The skin game ’ possesses a greater number of powerful scenes of dramatic conflict than Mr Galsworthy has ever put into a single play. ‘The foundations’ is an utter departure for Mr Galsworthy or any other English playwright. Our stage is almost unfitted at present to handle such a play, but the existence of the manuscript ought to do something towards stimulating the development of a new producing method.”

“On the side of art ‘Tatterdemalion’ illustrates the Galsworthian qualities which are quite familiar by this time: a mellowness that never degenerates into softness; a virile tenderness of tone; an unobtrusive ease in the progression of the narrative; a diction which is always adequate, often beautiful, but which will not or cannot exploit all its own full resources of either beauty or strength through some inflexibility of inner modulation. Some of the short stories here are, with these definite qualities and their defects, among the best of our time.”

“In his earlier novels and tales there was a marked predominance of the emotional quality over the intellectual. The two are here more nearly in accord. With possibly one exception none of the impressions is overwrought, or marred by sentimentality, or blurred by loud-voiced passion. Mr Galsworthy’s restrained, softly modulated style, as of an instrument with few overtones, wins its
effect without recourse to obvious eloquence or special pleading.” S. C. C.

GALWAY, CONOR. Towards the dawn. *$2.50 Stokes
“The novel is, quite simply and frankly, propaganda for the cause of Sinn Fein. Its heroine is a vigorous, eager, impulsive, largehearted young woman whom the reader first sees as a gawky, somewhat impish slip of a girl in her first teens. She gets caught in a street fight between Orangemen and Hibernians, brought on because some drummers of the former refuse to give way to the band heading a procession of the others; she is knocked down, trampled and has a narrow escape from being killed. The first thing she says when she comes back to consciousness is to declare solemnly that she hates both factions and thereafter will be a Fenian. To this determination she holds with enthusiasm, becoming a Sinn Feiner when that organization comes into activity. At one time, moved by the desire to make a sacrifice, she enters a convent with the intention of becoming a nun, but her desire to take part in the active measures Sinn Fein is planning brings her out again and into the ranks of that organization’s most ardent protagonists.” N Y Times

GAMBIER, KENYON. Girl on the hilltop. *$1.75 (2½c) Doran
20–10304
When Roger Lingard comes to England in 1914, it is to look up his ancestry, for he is the descendant of the Lingard of St Dyfrigs’ Park, who years before had eloped with Charity Turle, his cowman ’ s daughter, and emigrated to America. The modern Roger finds Dorothy Lingard and another Charity Turle interesting representatives of the family in the present generation. Before he has revealed himself to them, the war breaks out and he enlists. At the end of four years, he returns to his ancestral acres, to find himself, by the death of the male line, their owner. Then follows the interesting question, what shall become of the female line. Roger offers himself to Dorothy, that thus she may not be deprived of her birthright. But he finds himself superseded in her affections by another and when he turns to the humbler Charity, he finds a similar situation to exist. But the telegram which he sends to the mysterious “girl on the hilltop” reads “The third time’s lucky!” and so it proves to be.
