"Our extensive experience in obtaining RNP AR
operational approvals allows us to help
customers move through the rigorous RNP AR
operational approval process more efficiently,
giving them a competitive advantage in the
marketplace. In the long run, all industry
stakeholders benefit as more airlines derive
fuel and operating efficiencies via RNP, the
overall efficiency of global air traffic
improves and the environmental footprint is
reduced."
Boeing can now offer a complete, end-to-end RNP
solution by combining its expertise in RNP AR
application development and approved training
with its experience in the design and
implementation of new RNP flight procedures,
navigation database validation and RNP
availability prediction.
Achieving regulatory approval requires an
airplane operator to demonstrate that they have
airplanes equipped to fly narrow GPS guided RNP
AR flight procedures requiring accuracy down to
as little as one tenth of a nautical mile,
training in place for flight crews and
dispatchers, the ability to ensure
sufficient GPS coverage for the planned route at
the planned date and time (RNP availability
prediction), flight crew operating procedures,
the ability to ensure that RNP navigation
charts and databases are accurate and current
(navigation database validation) and flight
procedures designed and in place.
