RNP APPROACH
INTRODUCTION
The material contain herein is a guidance to perform RNP APCH
operations.
According to AC 90-105, airplanes conducting GPS approaches under
AC 90-94 meet the airworthiness requirements of RNP Approach
Operations.
NOTE: Compliance with the above regulations does not constitute
operational approvals.
In addition to the guidance of this section, the operator must continue
to ensure they comply with the general operating requirements;
checking Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), availability of Navigational
Aids (NAVAIDs) for overlay approaches, airworthiness of airplane
systems, and aircrew qualification. Pilots should assess their capability
to navigate (potentially to an alternate destination) in case of GPS
outages or predicted unavailability. In these situations, pilots should
rely on other equipment, delay departure, or discontinue IFR
operations.
Any required alternate airport should have an approved instrument
approach procedure other than GPS which is anticipated to be
operational at the estimated time of arrival.
NAVIGATION DATA VALIDATION
The navigation database must be obtained by a supplier complying
with AC 20-153 or equivalent and is expected to be current for the
duration of the flight.
NOTE: If the AIRAC cycle will change during the flight, the locations of
the waypoints used to define procedures must be verified with
current navigational charts.
