che:
Last question: on the A320 FCOM - Special Ops chapter, there's a list of requirements for PRNAV and another set of requirements for RNP AR. By Icao Doc 9905, definition of RNP AR is "a RNAV approach where RNP is below 0.3 and down to 0.1".
I understand I can fly a conventional RNAV NPA with RNP 0.3 with the same airborne equipment required for PRNAV but the relevant RNP will be 0.3 instead of 1.0.
FCOM requirements for RNP AR are applicable only for RNAV approaches with a RNP below 0.3 which call for a special authorization from the Authority in charge of the relevant airport besides the normal RNAV approach authorization from the Operator's CAA.
Have i got it right?
Thanks!
Basic RNP AR is 0.30, not below 0.30.
PRNAV RNP 0.30 is quite different than RNP AR 0.30. In RNP AR the 0.30 segments are 2 X 0.30 with no secondary obstacle clearance areas. Also, the alerting and monitoring requirements are much greater than with PRNAV or advanced RNAV IAPs.
