RNP 1 DME/DME/IRU | 04 | Area navigation using DME and IRU. Able to calculate position w/in 1 NM radius at least 95% of the time. RNP adds to RNAV accuracy by requiring onboard navigation performance monitoring and alerting. |
APPROACH PHASE | ||
RNP Approach | S1 | GNSS (GPS) is the primary navigation system to support RNP APCH procedures. Allows approaches with vertical guidance using GPS. |
RNP Approach with Baro VNAV | S2 | GNSS (GPS) is the primary navigation system to support RNP APCH procedures. Allows approaches with vertical guidance using barometric, vertical navigation (Baro-VNAV). |
RNP Approach with Radius to Fix (authorization required) | T1 | Special Authorization Required. GNSS (GPS) provides primary infrastructure. Allows reduced clearance, curved paths, and precise missed approach guidance. |
RNP Approach without Radius to Fix (authorization required) | T2 | Special Authorization Required. GNSS (GPS) provides primary infrastructure. |
