Max Angle, Gary,

Interesting to hear that both BMI and Easy do Fully Managed NPAs. Given the onus on the operator to verify the accuracy of the lateral and vertical paths in the FMGS, do you know how your outfit happens to do this?

Last year Airbus made it a little bit easier if the Nav Database supplier is certified to some quality status that I cannot remember offhand (no FCOM to hand at the moment) but there is still a responsibility on the operator to verify the data.

It's a great facility on the bus and it's a shame not to be able to use it. Instead we do SEL/SEL for all NPAs - works very well but Managed would be so much nicer!
