The tighter Performance Based Navigation (PBN) specifications, communications by data-link (CPDLC), and monitoring of position information by ADS-C are, in combination, allowing for tighter spacing of aircraft. In that regard, the philosophy is that the best-equipped airplanes are best served.<\/p>\n<p>A NAT Regional Supplemental Procedures (SUPPS) amendment now calls for aircraft intending to conduct operations within specified NAT airspace to be fitted with operating FANS 1\/A (or equivalent), CPDLC, and ADS-C.<\/p>\n<p>Since February 7, 2013, new requirements have applied to specified tracks and flight levels within the NAT system in Gander and Shanwick oceanic control areas.
