New airways and approach procedures are developed almost on a daily basis to increase airspace capacity and efficiency and to protect the environment while at the same time keeping or improving the safety level. The challenges that all Flight Inspection Providers are facing at this time are mostly related to R-NAV procedures validation and supporting infrastructure (ground or space-based) calibration. In ENAV, we have accepted this challenge through the implementation of a technological plan aiming at fulfilling these new requirements. Across Italy and many other countries around the world, the ENAV Flight Inspection Department is committed to delivering flexible, eco-friendly and cost effective flight services tailored to meet individual customer’s requirements. ENAV Flight Inspection: reliable flight calibration services since 1984.

Our fleet
We can rely on a brand new fleet of 4 Piaggio P180 AVANTI II aircraft exclusively dedicated to flight inspection activities. These aircraft, and their Flight Inspection System are able to deliver the efficiency and precision required for the Flight Inspection activity. In terms of general performance the P180 is the fastest turboprop in production today with a top speed of 402 Kts, a certified ceiling of 41,000 feet and a range of over 1,500 nautical miles. Professionally flown by our crew, the combination aircraft/flight inspection system will provide the edge over competitors, with greater efficiency, reduced emissions and top precision in the flight inspection results.

Our Flight Inspection System
The Flight Inspection System installed on board on each aircraft, composed by a UNIFIS 3000 Console by NSM and all the necessary dedicated receivers and antenna, is a state-of the-art System using the latest technologies available to obtain the highest accuracy in measurements.

Certifications/Qualifications
ENAV brings a unique value: we are a certified organization and we determine new standards, having among our staff, members of the ICAO Instrument Flight Procedures Panel and International Committee for Airspace Standards and Calibration.
