We analyze the kinematics of disk planetary nebulae (PNe) to derive the formal Galactic center distance, R0, for three catalogues of PNe distances. Then we correct the catalogues' distance scales renormalizing the PNe distances by the ratios of formal R0 values to a best modern value of R0 =7.9 kpc. The created new catalogue of disk's PNe distances was found to be in a good agreement with distances by Stanghellini et al. (2008). Our catalogue of PNe distances was used to recalibrate the statistical distance scale for all Galactic PNe.
