It does sound interesting to see this RNP technology reduce minimums on non precision approaches and possibly save some fuel on long procedures to the final approach. Places like Kelowna come to mind, and I guess Regan if WJ fly there. The only issue is that in all the high density airports with radar vectors to an ILS it won't really have any cost benefit. Places like YVR, YUL, YEG, YYC and YYZ to name a few. Think of the HUD's WJ paid for and tried to implement....where are those things? Having said that, the new tech does sound great and if it does save some $ then you can't argue with that.....especially as an Owner
