Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures use satellite-based precision to fly more direct routes with more efficient climbs and descents. These routes can increase traffic flow providing a flexible system capable of efficiently handling the demands and complexities of the future.

The FAA is implementing these procedures for airports across the United States. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is now one of those airports.
