The work presented in this paper evaluates the benefits and services that EGNOS based navigation can provide to aregional network of aerodromes. The basic enablers for deploying this kind of operations are pointed out, focusing inairport infrastructure but also in required avionics and pilots rating. The regional aerodrome network of Catalonia isnow managed by the public company Aeroports de Catalunya, jointly with local authorities, under control andsupervision of the regional Government of Catalonia, aimed at providing the region with an enhanced and high qualitynetwork of aerodromes: between its plans, the modernization of the existing network and the construction of severalnew regional aerodromes, as well as one business airport. This work also analyses how the benefits of EGNOS for thisemerging network can be taken into account in future policies of Aeroports de Catalunya. For instance, opportunitiesfor new users such as fire extinguishing and rescue services as well as potential business development (like small airtaxi companies) are pointed out. In addition, a new specific procedure design tool is presented. RAPIT (RNAV andAPV Procedures Integrated Tool) is a CAD environment software tool specifically developed to assist RNAV and APVprocedures design. It is able to manage cartographic and geographic data, making use of modern Digital TerrainModels, as well as obstacle databases. Moreover, it includes some basic drawing tools to assist procedure design.Finally a feasibility study of new EGNOS APV approach procedures is presented for two particular airports of theCatalan secondary airport network.
