Many on these forums have disagreed. Indeed, it has been observed that some UK GA aeroplanes have CAA-approved Flight Manual Supplements for GPS installations that meet RNP5 airspace (BRNAV) primary navigation requirements.

In a thread on a different topic, Formation Flyer asked:
Do you have any ANO reference, as I cannot find any documentation for the rule you suggest exists?
Formation Flyer, it would be really useful if you could answer this question in respect of your own contentious assertion.
