Is that true? I left the fleet before RNAV was introduced as a standard type of approach, and so missed the training. However, I understand that the EU operator, given the choice, opts for the RNAV automatics flown approach when both are available. To be corrected, of course.
Maybe they didn't have RNAV approval or possibly the pre flight raim check wasn't satisfactory?
