I guess with the rnp ar ops into ZQN they may need to review the 30 min issue because when they depart under ar , it does not provide a mechanism to come back to ZQN. Well not easily anyway, you either continues with the Sid if the failure is after the branch point, or you continue via the engine out Sid which takes you to invercargill if the failure is before... So in essence, why would you need the 30 min req. if you can launch on some ugly rnp.18/.30 minima day knowing that if you have a failure at v1 you will still continue via the engine out Sid to invercargill and make a decision once above terrain whether to go there or somewhere moe suitable. All you would need then is the required vis to depart by day.
Will be better once phase 2 is complete too...
