AFS - 420 stated that criteria allows for design of Area Navigation (RNAV ) STARs with only GPS required. § As background, Bermuda will serve as host t o the 2017 America's Cup Races. Bermuda currently has intermittent Radar Surveillance capability. New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZNY) currently provides Bermuda's terminal an d oceanic air traffic services. Bermuda is in the process of developing their own air traffic system and has requested assistance in developing RNAV SIDs and STARs to service the TXKF airport with Radar S urveillance not being required. § The initial request with a recommendation to move forward has been processed by the E - OSG and has been sen t to AJV - 14 for further action. § The work on this project will be done in acco rdance with FAA Order 7100.41 currently and then in accordance with FAA Order 7100.41 A when that document is signed. Flight Standards Service, Flight Procedures Branch (AFS - 420) has stated that criteria does allow for the creation of RNAV procedu res in a n on - radar environment. § Currently, operations to TXKF are in accordance with domestic non - radar separation stand ards when radar is unavailable. The parties agreed that AJV - 14 would work with Air Traffic Procedures (AJV - 8) to get a determination on what sep aration standards will be required for the use of RNAV procedures in a non - radar environment as there could be impact to final designs based on required separation standards. This needs to occur prior to further development work on the requested RNAV proce dures for TXKF. Further updates will be forthcoming. · EoR National Standard Change.
