OK,
thanks for the information...not sure about the RF turns, going from RNAV to VNAV transition...

Yes, it does something, unfortunately, every ones box does something, and not the same. @ of the boxes route GPS data through the IRU, which depending on the manuf and version, can have a pseudo RAIM calc to transition between loss of enough sats, to latency between RNP values in the legs, hence, the varied results and expectations.

"Somewhat complicated" is certainly redundant when dealing with the FAA
(I gave up after PSP, BDL, and SCC with RNP procedure designs in the US)


terpster,

as OK stated, it looks like KSEA is still provisional, I know Alaska was trying it out some time ago. It a right turn over Elliot Bay (there are no left turns with the FAA )
