Note: This sample Action Plan can be considered as a starting point to assist in establishing a PBN program. It should be adapted as needed to the specific circumstances of a project. The steps are not always conducted in strict sequence, and certain steps may be conducted on a recurring basis as organization of the program progresses. The steps and the sequence in which they are performed in the project should be evaluated by the organizers on the basis of their experience and judgment. Some of the steps are also included in the domain-specific sample action plans.Use of the sample action plan does not ensure full ICAO compliance nor is it intended to supersede or replace state requirements.PBN sample action plans can supplement a robust State safety plan, but not replace state safety plan
