FAA AC 90-113C Instrument Flight Procedure Validation (IFPV of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) Instrument Flight Procedures (IFP)

This advisory circular (AC) provides the means for conducting IFPV of satellite-enabled PBN instrument flight procedures for both fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft. It also addresses validation of helicopter Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) special IFPs. This AC describes ground validation, pre-flight validation (including simulator evaluation and obstacle assessment), and flight validation.

This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies. Please note that, non-FAA service providers are not required to perform IFPV of PBN IFPs. If a non-FAA service provider chooses to perform IFPV of PBN IFPs, however, this AC provides the directions for doing so.
