Keywords: gbas, steep approach, operational procedures, flight test

Due to its flexibility a Ground Based Augmentation System provides the opportunity to design different approach procedures tailored for the demands at a special location. Especially steep precision approaches have a high noise reducing potential as the aircraft can stay at a higher altitude for a longer time.
