On April 6, a NetJets Phenom 300 landed on Runway 27 at Bremen Airport in Germany after shooting the first satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) instrument approach in Germany, marking the first time that a “passenger aircraft” flew the Egnos-aided approach and landed in the country. The SBAS system for Europe is the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (Egnos), which supplements GPS and other satellite navigation systems to provide position accuracy to one to three meters from GPS’s typical 10 to 20 meters.
