New navigation technologies are playing an increasingly important role in ensuring flight safety, improving operational efficiency, and improving flight schedules. On November 13-14, the seminar on aviation safety and operational efficiency was held in Beijing. The conference focused on the exchange and application of new navigation technologies in China. Chief Civil Aviation Engineer Jin Yibin attended the seminar.

Jin Yibin stated at the seminar that safety, capacity, and efficiency are the major efforts of CAAC in the future, and technological innovation is an important way to achieve these goals. To further promote the application of new technologies in civil aviation, he proposed three points.

The first is to fully understand the important role of new technologies. We must systematically and comprehensively apply new technologies, re-examine and construct flight operations systems, fundamentally improve the communication, navigation, and surveillance methods, and air traffic management support capabilities, so that civil aviation flight methods and navigation guarantees can be adapted to the rapid development of civil aviation.

The second is to insist on the implementation of new technologies. We must make unified planning and steadily implement it, keep a fresh head in the application of new technologies, formulate practical and feasible risk aversion measures, pay enough attention to traditional technologies, ensure a smooth transition, emphasize key points, emphasize practical results, and develop new technologies. In pilots, pilots and extensions, we must focus on airline flight operations and air traffic management, focus on key and urgently needed technologies, and pay attention to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into realistic productivity; we must improve mechanisms, coordinate and cooperate to maximally stimulate industry-wide Innovation vitality: We must pay attention to international cooperation, strengthen independent innovation, strengthen exchange learning, and pay attention to internal and external cooperation in the civil aviation industry, and promote scientific research results to be marketized, commercialized, and industrialized.

The third is to strengthen the overall, systematic and coherent application of new technologies in the current work. At present, the CAAC continues to list new technologies as a key task, requiring comprehensive promotion of PBN applications, development of ADS-B implementation plans, application of Beidou navigation satellites, satellite communications, head-up display systems, electronic flight packages, runway barrier materials, and biofuels Some key projects such as energy saving and emission reduction achieved breakthroughs.

More than 120 delegates from CAAC offices, regional administrations, regional air traffic control bureaus, some airlines, some airports, civil aviation colleges, aeronautical institutes, and calibration centers attended the seminar. Experts such as Honeywell Aerospace and Air Traffic Management Australia conducted new technology presentations.

At the two-day seminar, delegates discussed modernization of air traffic management, humanized design of avionics equipment, advancement of avionics technology in enhancing situational awareness, meteorological radar technology, data link and satellite communication technology, and enhancements. The warning system database and other issues were discussed in depth.
