FPO,
Aside from that, the coding is simply not correct. While the coding from your navdatabase provider may be, if it works, it wont be like what is shown on that supplement....
FYI, if the DEP is in the DB that means it's been approved by the operator and crosschecked by the relevant departments and is in accordance with the published procedures. BTW this DEP is published in Jeppesen. That doesn't preclude PIC from checking it again. however if it's in the box it's been validated and it's a simple equation for all the aforesaid reasons, namely GO. Now you're a engineer at large, you say. Tell me the difference between a DME ARC and RF from the geometrical point of view? We've been flying DME ARCs outta box for ages and the only difference now is the operation contingency procedure for loss of RNP capability.

On this accord DH asked you a clear cut question
Can the A340-300 with Honeywell FMS 2 legally fly this procedure if it is in the aircraft's Nav DB?
I haven't seen your clear cut answer yet.
