The Action is a study with a pilot deployment concerning the deployment of approach capability using SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) for commercial aviation in Europe, and in particular for the Airbus A320 family. The Action aims to deploy existing technology (SBAS Category I) already in use on some business aviation aircraft, and create the conditions for deployment on a larger scale. The benefit of SBAS equipped aircraft is its capability to fly precision approaches without specific airport infrastructure. As a consequence, when weather conditions get difficult, SBAS equipped aircraft benefit from better access to airports.
