It explains that Performance Based Navigation Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) are the key to the benefits of switching from ground-based radar to satellite-based GPS. And based on recommendations from a task force assembled by RTCA, the FAA has launched what it calls "a Nav Lean program" to streamline all the components of requesting, prioritizing, developing and implementing IFPs.
