The aircraft is probably certified. However, as far as I am aware Turkey has not given approval to any carriers as yet, and no crew training has been done.

Anyone know if that has changed? Load of crews still do GNS approaches, even though no training has been given, and no requirements specified. They seem to regard the presence of an approach plate to be authorisation.
If management and the Turkish aviation authority were doing their job, and I have no basis to conclude otherwise, the RNP AR approach would not have been in the database unless the crew were qualified.

Unless someone has some hard information to the contrary, the presumption should be the crew was qualified and legal to fly the RNP AR approach.
