Are you sure? The FMS Bridge Visual to 28R is an Authorization Required (AR) approach procedure but not, as far as I can see, an AR RNP (Required Navigation Performance) instrument approach.
Never said it was an RNP AR approach. It is a tailored approach to approved operators, hence the AR. It is the same approach as the visual quiet bridge, but adds ARCHI, and F101D, which doglegs it back to extended centerline, and adds the stepdown fixes as named waypoints for the database. (UAL also is approved for this procedure, I dont know who else)

The FMS Bridge Visual Approach 28R is a version of the Quiet Bridge Visual Approach 28R which is coded with GPS coordinates and can be included in an FMS database for approved operators. This allows the procedure to be used when the SFO VOR is out of service, and also gives ATC additional flexibility by allowing them to clear pilots direct to any of the fixes without needing to intercept the radial on the standard arrival.
