In the case of Paraburdoo with terrain around, an RNP-AR would be worthwhile and potentially knock a couple of hundred feet off the LNAV/VNAV minima. But a busted arse 30 year old Fokker can’t do them anyway so it’s not really relevant to this discussion.
Agreed, thanks TL. I was more responding to old mate who was blabbing on about QF 737’s being the only ones who could fly RNP procedures, when RNP is the normal (soon to be) standard name for any GPS approach.
